Does anybody know if the early BMP3 could be equiped with a KMT mine roller or plow device? Thanks.

I agree, it seems that the BMP-3 would not lend itself to adding any KMT equipment in the future either, not without a major redesign.

The BMP-1/2 could use the KMT-10.

I think they are planning to develop a dedicated model of the BMP-3 for mine clearance. They call it the UR-93 but even using Russian search sites I can't find a single picture of the prototype.

Karl, you can't find any photos, because UR-93 was shown only one time in 2007. It's just made one shot, very far away from publick, than move away...

Nice one Igor !

Just a pity it hasn't been seen much as it looks like an interesting vehicle.
