Also known as
  • BMP-2 675-SB3KDZ
  • BMP-2 675-сб3КДЗ

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.

2014 Russia-Ukraine War
Frontline AssaultForce ProtectionCaptured Equipment

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.

Role details
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.

In the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War it appears as a Russian airborne assault vehicle, with visually documented losses at Hostomel and later BMD-4M deliveries showing factory add-on armor, slat armor, and Nakidka signature-reduction kits shaped by the Ukraine battlefield.

Russian industry sources describe repaired and upgraded vehicles delivered under state defense orders, while Ukrainian and open-source loss reporting place BMP-1AM vehicles in Russian service during the full-scale phase of the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.

The upgrade centers on 30 mm cannon fire, a coaxial machine gun, a 30 mm automatic grenade launcher, and Konkurs anti-tank missile launchers, trading some troop capacity for a heavier remote combat module. Its most clearly documented wartime trail runs through Georgian vehicles captured by Russia in the 2008 Russo-Georgian War and later seen or lost in Russian service during the full-scale phase of the Russia-Ukraine War.
