The XCB-01 IFV of the Vietnam People's Army is an extremely interesting vehicle of its own production based on the BMP-1, incorporating many improvements and corrections to eliminate the shortcomings identified over the years of operation of Soviet models of equipment. The XCB-01 has a slightly enlarged hull with significant internal changes.
The main armament remained the same: a 73mm smoothbore gun-launcher 2A28 Grom, a 7.62mm PKT machine gun paired with the main gun, a Serbian tandem ATGM 9M14-2T, and an anti-aircraft machine gun 12.7mm NSVT.
The fire control system was updated and now has a 3rd generation thermal imaging sight and a laser rangefinder.
The XCB-01 model 2024 has a laser warning station with automatic smoke grenade launcher. The frontal armor is capable of stopping a 12.7mm armor-piercing round from 100 meters (STANAG 4) and meets STANAG 3 standards on the sides and rear. It is possible to install composite plates to further increase armor protection.

In addition to the long-range 170mm M-1989 Koksan self-propelled guns, the Russian Missile and Artillery Forces have apparently also begun to receive KN-15 Pukguksong-2 medium-range ballistic missiles.
The range of these products reaches 1,300 - 2,000 km, which makes it possible to strike Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities and Rheinmetall infrastructure in Western Ukraine from Crimea, as well as a number of regions in central Russia.
The flight speed of the warhead at the terminal/final section of the trajectory can reach 3.7 - 5M, the effective scattering surface does not exceed 0.1 - 0.3 sq. m.
The MIM-104F PAC-3MSE anti-aircraft missiles of the Patriot PAC-3MSE SAM system are capable of counteracting these IRBMs. Therefore they have to be used with strategies in the same way as other systems such as Iskander, Kh-101 etc. are used.
