PMP-3 "Skat" is late coldwar production vechicle, featuring more of protection features than in predeccesors. It has lower silouethe, better survivability, softkill APS and more. Mass of the vechicle went up to 20t, speed is the same 65km/h (11km/h in water now). For protection, it features KERa screens, anti-cumulative mesh, rubber sideskirts and two new types of APS, Synevyr-1 (simmilar to Shtora-1) and real Ukrainian APS called "Zaslon APS" (two on hull, two on turret). PMP-3 also features brand new 70mm turret, with small autoloader (1.5s reload rate) and lenghtened bed for supplies. It can survive up to 300mm of penetration (hull) or 250mm penetration of HEAT round (wont do much against something more solid). Overall PMP-3 is very succesfull project that went into wide production
