A brand-new armored personnel carrier, the BTR-MD Rakushka (Shell), is tested by Russian military. The APC, which can accommodate up to 13 troops, is equipped with a 500-horsepower engine and can reach 115 km per hour. Its thick armor is bulletproof, and also resists shrapnel and shells, hence its name. The tests will go on till summer 2015 when a special commission will decide on Rakushka’s future.
