The BMD-4M Sadovnitsa (‘Gardener’) is the modernized version of the BMD-4 airborne armored infantry fighting vehicle, developed by the Volgograd Tractor Plant and the Tula KBP Instrument Design Bureau, and manufactured by Kurganmashzavod. Adopted in 2012, it can be air-dropped by parachute but is more usually deployed by land. Like all the BMD series, it is designed with an eye to speed and firepower more than protection and its two-man Bakhcha-U turret mounts a 2A70 100mm caliber gun with coaxial 2A72 30mm cannon and a PKT 7.62mm machine gun. The main gun can fire both conventional ammunition and the Arkan 9M117M1 laser-guided tandem anti-tank round. Six paratroopers can be carried inside and in the compartment to the rear.
