The russians claim that their K-4386 Typhoon-VDV has reliable anti-mine protection, and the armor of these vehicles is able to withstand the impact of 12.7 mm bullets.
The Typhoon-VDV armored vehicle was adopted by the russian Armed Forces only in August 2021, intended for equipping the airborne troops of russia’s army.
In The Military Balance guide as of 2021 such armored vehicles do not appear at all, this may mean that russians managed to produce a maximum of fifty Typhoon-VDV units.
