When
observed, the
weapon system options the Navy Marine Corps partially
oriented Eastern Europe, not just talk the history since the 60s,
but rather present
ranpur renewal, such
as BVP-2 and
BMP-3F also from
Eastern Europe, precisely Slovakia and Russia.
As if to continue the tradition, ranpur future
generations of Marine Corps
also declared parts
of Eastern Europe, Ukraine
glance at precisely this time, the Soviet
state champion in
the heavy equipment industry.
Although as of this writing amid political turmoil in Ukraine, but the fame of defense equipment development in Ukraine is still fairly taken into account, one of them through design ranpur BTR (Bronetransporter) -4 Kharkiv Morozov Machine manufactured Building Design Bureau (SOE KMDB). BTR-4 takes the base platform APC (Armoured personnel carrier) aka armored personnel transport. BTR-4 can be classified as an armored with 8 × 8 wheel drive. Referring of zoom, armored design is apparently the fruit blend design and BTR-80A APC German, TPz Fuchs. Where both are also relying ranpur 8 × 8 wheel drive and have amphibious capabilities.
Navy Marine Corps had a deep impression on the wheel ranpur figure 8 × 8, despite the evidence only has 12 units BTR-80A were purchased from Russia, but the BTR-80A is so reliable to support the military mission in mechanical battalion contingent of UN peacekeepers in Lebanon (UNIFIL). Then the news continues from Navy Chief of Staff Admiral Marsetio comments, as quoted from the site http://koarmatim.mil.id, "At this early stage in lieu of PT-76 will be brought in as many as 55 units of BTR-4. Thus the Marine Corps will have the one battalion ranpur BTR-4. In the Strategic Plan two and three will add one Battalion BTR-4 ", says Navy chief of staff.
Navy chief of staff responding to comments, many people then questioned why the chain wheel as tanks PT-76 replaced ranpur wheeler tires? Plus platform BTR-4 is APC. Apart from that, please note the BTR-4 is presented in several variants, ranging from variants of personnel transport, reconnaissance command, ambulance, up to 120 mm canon version. In their home country, the BTR-4 rely more famous as the IFV (infantry fighting vehicle). So far, it is unclear what will be adopted variants of the Marine Corps. Although if illogical, when their human war replacing the PT-76 is equipped with a 90 mm cannon Cockerill, the Marine Corps should also get penggebuk BTR-4 variant that has fire power with the support of cannon caliber is.

The combination of weapons on the dome similar to shkval Module, only at GROM module anti-tank missile launcher hardpoints Konkurs 9P135M there are 4 units. This variant can also carry 8 infantry.
BTR-4 GROM module
BTR-4 GROM module
Basically, the core crew of BTR-4 no 3, the commander, driver and gunner. In the version of the APC, can carry up to a maximum of 9 infantry personnel. Well, about the number of infantry personnel that can be brought very dependent on modules mounted weapons. Format module and a selection of weapons mounted, can be formulated based on the true customer demand state.

By the manufacturer, the BTR-4 is designed with a modular system, and is prepared to 'friendly' to the adoption of the desired weapon consumer choice. Besides ogled by Indonesia, in fact the new BTR-4 is used by Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Iraq. Iraq ordered 420 BTR in various variants at the end of 2009 Some shipments wave BTR-4 has been done to Iraq, but there is news that is less fun than Janes.com (29/12/2013), stated on December 27, 2013, there were 40 BTR- 4 were sent back to Ukraine prior to release of the vessel, the article of the Iraqi ranpur less satisfied with the quality of this.
