Historical description of the VPK-7829 Bumerang vehicle (BTR K-16)

The Bumerang APC is a modern Russian armored personnel carrier, developed by the Military-Industrial Complex (VPK) as a successor to the previously used BTR-80 and BTR-82. Work on this eight-wheeled carrier began in 2011, and prototypes were first presented to the public during the Victory Day Parade in Moscow in 2015. The vehicle is primarily used by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, with its design aiming to meet the demands of the modern battlefield by offering a high level of ballistic protection, modular equipment options, and the capability to transport cargo and troops.
