The Boomerang-Burevestnik remote-controlled weapon station module, designed by the Burevestnik Central Research Institute, was originally developed for the BTR K-16 armored personnel carrier. However, it can be adapted to many other armored vehicles, such as the BTR-82 model pictured here. Photo: @wolfpam.

In addition, the Boomerang-Burevestnik remote-controlled weapon station module system is also expected to be integrated into other systems such as the T-16 armored rescue vehicle on the Armata platform. Photo: @ Defence Blog.
