Main Armament:
30 mm 2A42 Autocannon: This is the primary weapon, mounted in a new two-man turret. It is stabilized in two planes and can be used against ground targets (up to 4,000 meters), armored targets (up to 1,500 meters), and air targets (up to 2,500 meters). It has a selectable rate of fire: slow (200-300 rounds/minute) or fast (550 rounds/minute). A typical ammunition load is 500 rounds, split between AP (Armor-Piercing) and HE (High-Explosive) ammunition.
Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) Launcher: Mounted on the turret roof. On Russian vehicles, it typically fires AT-5 Spandrel (9M113 Konkurs) missiles, while export models often use AT-4 Spigot (9M111 F*got) missiles. These missiles are a significant improvement in range and accuracy over those used on the BMP-1.
Secondary Armament:
7.62 mm PKT Machine Gun: Mounted coaxially to the left of the 30 mm cannon. It carries 2,000 rounds of ammunition.
Additional Weapons: The vehicle can also carry a man-portable surface-to-air missile launcher and two missiles, an RPG launcher, and five rounds.
Firing Ports: The troop compartment has firing ports (three on the left side, four on the right, and one on each rear door) with associated roof-mounted periscopes, allowing infantrymen to fire their personal weapons from inside the vehicle
