No one can ascertain the current Earth year (or if there is still Earth at all), so we start the count from Vostorg-7 year 0. This year marked the arrival of a joint Russian-Chinese colonization probe on Vostorg-7, a probe dispatched a very long time ago - in the early 21st century of Earth. After a long interstellar odyssey, it finally reached the unforgiving yet potentially habitable planet. The initial dreams of forging a unified spaceborne human nation were soon abandoned, as differing visions for utopian societies took root. Instead, seven independent human colonies emerged from the cosmic dust. While most of these colonies succumbed to rapid deterioration, with their inhabitants mutating into otherworldly beings or descending into feral lifestyles amidst Vostorg-7's unforgiving terrain, two colonies stood out as bastions of Man’s determination - the Derzhava and the Planet Cult.
The top new BMP-4 'Kurgan' has just arrived to replace the aging zoo of BMP-1, BMP-2 and BMP-3!
Equipped with heavy all-round armor and anti-infantry protection systems - the Kurgan puts the RPG guy back behind in the evolutionary stage. Only the EU Panzerfaust-3 can be a proper math for BMP-4's armor.
The armament of BMP-4 is specialized to remove soft threats such as enemy infantry, light vehicles and fortified infantry, but the absence of anti-tank missiles make it defenseless against enemy tanks.
The large cupola on the BMP-4 roof acts as both a radar and active defense systems destroying lighter missiles and nearby hostile infantry.
A group of 40 BMP-4s aided by anti-tank and anti-air cover can invade a whole country like Georgia, which will be proven in fact later.
100 mm gun on a IFV....Russians..:D
Little temple on the top... Christian Russians...

Da, portable chapel good for morale.
Let's paint "На Бога уповаем" on the side for giggles.
Well, its shell is lighter and smaller than an equivalent rocket, right? :p
It has an 80mm autocannon as a secondary? Mother of Russia, this ought to be good.
That's a 30mm autocannon. :)
LOL. I saw 80. Derp.
Thanks for the correction.
Looks very modern i like it
likes more like a boat than an AFV :)
Which leads to a a suspicion ...
Why should a ground assault be interrupted by something so trivial as a river or a lake.
Now, Euronazis, we can begin serious negociations, da?
Is that also the muzzle of a presumably 7.62 machinegun I spy to the left of the main gun? Yes, yes, I figure it's just cosmetic. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be an interesting sight in a game.
Real life kurganets will most probably come with 57mm autocannon + Kornet Atgm.
Yes but there is already a Kornet system ingame, 2 would be redundant, but I appreciate your lust for realism, at least in game items, not gameplay.
I just thought that we saw bmp-3 with similiar weapons loadout in few games and mods already. 57mm auto would be badass.
