The BMP-3 675-sb3KDZ is a Russian BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle fitted with additional screen and protection elements associated with the 675-sb3KDZ/688M-SB3KDZ naming used in open-source Ukraine-war loss tracking. Defense reporting documented a Russian BMP-3 with the rare kit destroyed near Vuhledar in 2023, while baseline BMP-3 sources identify the Kurganmashzavod-built vehicle's 100 mm gun-launcher, 30 mm cannon, amphibious mobility, and troop-carrying role.
Defense Express reported that Russian BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles with added screen protection were destroyed near Vuhledar in April 2023, including one vehicle identified with the rare 675-sb3KDZ kit; the same report notes that open-source loss trackers also used the 688M sb3KDZ index for BMP-3s with this protection fit.
Role detailsThe BMP-3 675-sb3KDZ record covers a protected BMP-3 battlefield configuration rather than a new hull design. Defense reporting describes added screens and a rare 675-sb3KDZ package on a Russian BMP-3 destroyed near Vuhledar, while also noting that loss trackers used the 688M sb3KDZ index for BMP-3s with this protection fit.
BMP-3 tracked amphibious infantry fighting vehicle with a 100 mm 2A70 gun-launcher, 30 mm 2A72 cannon, and 7.62 mm machine guns.
Baseline vehicle data comes from Rosoboronexport and Army Recognition.
Added screen/protection package described around the 675-sb3KDZ name, with 688M-SB3KDZ also used for the BMP-3 application in open-source tracking.
The source record treats the BMP-3 naming as an observer/loss-tracking distinction, not a separate manufacturer family.
The gallery uses open-license baseline BMP-3 imagery because clearly reusable imagery of the exact 675-sb3KDZ fit was not identified.
Operational photos from battlefield and news sources were used as source evidence, not as reusable catalog media.
The 675-sb3KDZ name in this record follows the requested target and Defense Express wording; observers and loss trackers have also used 688M-SB3KDZ for the BMP-3 application, reflecting the BMP-3's Object 688M designation rather than a separate clean-sheet vehicle.
