Kinda looks like an early model Marder without the front turret (which is probably why it's amphibious).

Wow, they aren't even through fielding the Armata T-15, Kurganets, and Bumerang yet. Is there a pressing need for another BMP-type vehicle? I would think replacing the BRDM would be a more pressing priority.

Kind of a rather plain, boring design.

Upper surface is very well sloped. Front lower portion much less so, which is a bit surprising.

Guess they figure it's not much use adding extra material to the nose for little payoff, with such powerful, modern anti-tank weapons widely available now.
