Sinitsa is a weapon station that is compatible in size with the Bakhcha weapon station, which is the main one for the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle. Sinitsa in weapons is similar to the Bakhcha and is close to it by characteristics. For the first time the weapon station was demonstrated for representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation installed in BMD-4M in April 2017, and in September 2017 it was presented at the exhibition and forum of the ARMY 2017.
The main difference of the Sinitsa from previous models is that on this weapon station a panoramic sight with a thermal imaging channel is installed.
