Hi guys,

Here is a new one to me. A modified M113 with a turret from a BMP-3?




Sincerely,

Brian

I haven't found the exact variant, but a look through FNSS' website (the company logo on the wall behind the vehicle) at http://www.fnss.com.tr/ shows a whole lot of similar ones. These guys pretty much specialize in refurbishing M113s to different specs.

I think that the chassis belongs to YPR-765 and the turret is modified from the standard one with 20 mm gun to BMP-3's.

I think it would be an AIFV with modified turret.


But i could be wrong.

I recognise the type because the Belgian Army used them, and i think they still do.

To the best of my knowledge, the TIFV is related to the AIFV. It may be built locally.

HI

It appears to be a BMP-3 turret on a Turk AIFV (exact designation escapes me).

As mentioned, looks like a one of prototype.

Looks to be a locally made, new vehicle based on the MTVL, or a stretched M113 chasis. It has 6 road wheels as opposed to the standard 5 of an M113 or AIFV.

More on the MTVL here.

Standard AIFV with 5 road wheels.


Looks like they took an MTVL and made an AIFV version with a BMP-3 turret.

Interresting. It is always amazing at what new versions of the basic M113 come out all the time. Definitely has to be one of the most versatile AFVs ever made. Still holding its own nearly 60 years from initial development.

Hi guys,
I'm not so interested in these modern armour but I could find some info about this vehicle.
The vehicle is a modernized M113. They thicked the armour and add a M242 25 mm Bushmaster cannon. It is equiped also with some modern electronic systems.
The same vehicle has 2 more options,equiped with 30 mm cannon or 25 mm Bushmaster and TOW launcher.
Engine options are 300,350 or 400 horse powered Detroit Diesel 6V53T engines.

Thanks guys for the interesting info. I knew someone here could explain this better.

Brian
