BTR-4 is a 8x8 wheeled armoured personnel carrier (APC) designed in Ukraine by the Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau (SOE KMDB)as a private venture. The prototype was unveiled at the Aviasvit'2006 exhibition held in Ukraine in June 2006.

The layout of the BTR-4 represent a change compared to the older BTR-60/70/80 designed in the Soviet Union. The vehicle has a conventional layout similar to western designs like the german Fuchs with the driver's and commander's compartment at the front part of the hull, the engine and transmission compartment in the middle, and the troop compartment at the rear. The troops enter and leave the vehicle either through the rear doors or the roof hatches, and the driver and the commander are provided with doors located on the sides of the hull.

The vehicle can be armed according to customer requirements.The prototype is armed with the locally designed New Armament Module which is armed with one 30mm automatic cannon, 7.62mm coaxial machine-gun, up to four 9P135M Konkurs or Baryer Anti-tank missiles(two on each side of the turret), and one 30mm automatic grenade launcher(fitted inplace of the AT missiles on one left-hand side of the turret). It can also be fitted with different turret weapons modules: the GROM module, SHKVAL module, and the BAU 23x2 module. There are also different designed versions such as the BRM-4K Reconnaissance vehicle, BTR-4K Command vehicle, BTR-4KSh command and staff vehicle, MOP-4K Fire support vehicle, BREM-4K repair and recovery vehicle, and the BSEM-4K recovery and medical vehicle.

The BTR-4 has a maximum speed of 110 km/h and can cross water obstacles at a speed of 10 km/h. The vehicle is powered by a 3TD diesel engine with 500 hp.

The BTR-4 is a more flexible design than the older BTR-60/70/80s as the changed layout makes it easier to adapt the vehicle to spezialized roles.

The design is as of 2006 a private venture with no received orders. Marketing of the design to international customers has started and the manufactures also hope that the Ukraine's Ministry of Defence will order a number of vehicles.

opako  ako se u sledecem delu jamesa bonda on bude vozio u ovoj stravi znajte da je vrhuncka , mada iako on sve sto vozi posle eksplodira

Zanimljiva koncepcija. Celokupno naoruzanje smesteno na maloj kupoli. Samo je skinu i mogu ga prodati i nekim ispaljenim civilima. Ne svidjaju mi se gumeni tockovi ni to sto jednim pogotkom celo naoruzanje postaje neupotrebljivo. Sve skupljeno na jednom mestu - mala borbena zilavost.
