Trumpeter provides additional kit information and sprue images of its recent release.
Derived from the GT-SM tracked vehicle, the GT-MU was developed at the Gorkowski Awtomobilny Sawod, as a response to the need for a small, light, but armored all-terrain transport vehicle for the airborne troops. Crewed by two, it featured 6mm armor plating, torsion bar suspension, a 4-cylinder petrol engine, and had an operating radius of 500km on roads.

Light Armored Multipurpose Transport Vehicle GT-MU (09568). The kit contains 370+ parts, brass wire, photo-etched details, and decal sheet. It features multi-slide molded upper and lower hulls, and individual track links. As built the model is 147.1mm long and 76.2mm wide.

Background information on the vehicle sourced from Military-Today and Wikipedia.

so, it's a mini-Mt-Lb? I thought I was pretty up on (relatively) modern Soviet/Russian stuff, but this is a new one for me.

Like the bigger MT-LB, this one can be seen in civilian use : H.P.

Also used in Syria and Ukraine. And probably Chechna too.
