Ukrainian and OSINT sources have documented Russian BMP-2 675-sb3KDZ vehicles in Ukraine, including a 10th Mountain Assault Brigade capture reported in June 2022, another Kherson-area capture reported in November 2022, destroyed vehicles reported near Berestove in February 2024, and a visually confirmed Russian loss in Donetsk Oblast uploaded by WarSpotting in May 2026; Defence24 later reported a captured example in Ukrainian service.

Also known as
- BMP-2 675-SB3KDZ
- BMP-2 675-сб3КДЗ
- BMP-2 with 675-sb3KDZ
- 675-sb3KDZ BMP-2
- 675-сб3КДЗ BMP-2
The BMP-2 675-sb3KDZ is a Russian BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle fitted with the 675-sb3KDZ additional-protection kit. Defense reporting identifies the package as a rare armor and anti-cumulative grille fit for BMP-2 vehicles, and Ukrainian and OSINT reporting has documented captured, destroyed, and visually confirmed Russian examples in the Russia-Ukraine War.
Role in Conflicts
Protection Package Context
The 675-sb3KDZ fit is a survivability package for BMP-family infantry fighting vehicles rather than a separate hull design. Reporting on captured and destroyed examples describes a combination of polymer protection panels and anti-cumulative grilles applied to the BMP-2 family.
Base vehicle
BMP-2 tracked infantry fighting vehicle with a three-person crew, troop compartment, 30 mm 2A42 cannon, coaxial machine gun, and roof-mounted anti-tank missile launcher.
Baseline vehicle data is drawn from BMP-2 reference sources; the 675-sb3KDZ sources identify the additional kit.
Kit role
Additional panels and grilles intended to improve resistance against heavy machine-gun fire and anti-tank grenades while preserving amphibious mobility.
Defense Express describes the buoyancy claim as theoretical and notes that exact kit weight is not public.
Media limit
The gallery uses open-license baseline BMP-2 imagery because clearly reusable imagery of the exact 675-sb3KDZ fit was not identified.
Operational photos from battlefield and news sources were used only as source evidence, not as reusable catalog media.

Variants
The 675-sb3KDZ designation describes an added protection fit for existing BMP-family vehicles rather than a clean-sheet infantry fighting vehicle.
| Variant | Configuration | Designation notes |
|---|---|---|
 | Baseline tracked infantry fighting vehicle | The 675-sb3KDZ configuration keeps the BMP-2 family layout, 30 mm autocannon armament, troop-carrying role, and amphibious design basis while adding protection modules and grilles. |
| BMP-2M 675-sb3KDZ | Modernized BMP-2 family fit | Russian-language reporting says BMP-2M vehicles with the Berezhok combat module also received the 675-sb3KDZ additional-protection package. Sources: BMP-1AM 675-sb3KDZ Protection Kits |
 | Related BMP-1/BMP-1AM kit application | The same additional-protection designation is documented on BMP-1/BMP-1AM family vehicles, showing the kit's wider BMP-family application. Sources: BMP-1AM 675-sb3KDZ Protection Kits |
 | Related BMP-3 kit application | Defense Express describes the 675-sb3KDZ package as a rare protection kit first associated with BMP-2 vehicles before similar BMP-family protection appeared on BMP-3s. Sources: Defense Express 675-sb3KDZ BMP-3 |
Base Vehicle Family
The 675-sb3KDZ record is best read as a protected BMP-2 battlefield configuration: the added kit changes survivability context while the vehicle keeps the BMP-2 family chassis and weapon fit.
| Compatible item | Item type | Compatibility evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Tracked infantry fighting vehicle | Defense Express identifies the captured vehicle as a BMP-2 fitted with the 675-sb3KDZ kit, while baseline references support the underlying BMP-2 layout, crew, troop capacity, and armament. |
Mounted Armament
| Carried item | Item type | Carriage evidence |
|---|---|---|
 | 30 mm automatic cannon | Baseline BMP-2 sources identify the 30 mm 2A42 as the vehicle's main gun, and the 675-sb3KDZ reporting treats the protected vehicle as a BMP-2 rather than a new turret or weapon system. |
Ammunition Fired
| Ammunition | Ammunition type | Firing evidence |
|---|---|---|
 | Autocannon ammunition family | STV GROUP lists 30x165 mm ammunition as compatible with 2A42 automatic guns mounted on BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles. Sources: Ammunition 30x165 mm - STV GROUP |
Launched Missiles
| Launched item | Item type | Launch evidence |
|---|---|---|
 | Anti-tank guided missile | Baseline BMP-2 references identify the vehicle's 9P135M launcher as compatible with 9K111 Fagot missiles. |
 | Anti-tank guided missile | Baseline BMP-2 references identify the vehicle's 9P135M launcher as compatible with 9M113 Konkurs missiles. |
