Myanmar Witness first saw a new armored personnel carrier (APC) unveiled by the Myanmar military at the Armed Forces Day Parade in Nay Pyi Taw on March 26, 2026. It is the Ukrainian-made 8-wheeled BTR-4U, and Myanmar signed an agreement with Ukraine in 2018 to assemble and manufacture the vehicles locally.
Although little is known about this process, current evidence suggests that at least three of the vehicles have been produced. They are based on the original BTR-4U design, rather than the latest upgraded versions.
The turret on these BTR-4Us is not the same as the original model produced by the Ukrainian company, but is smaller and simpler, and is likely to be operated by an unmanned vehicle.
Other differences from the original model include the body design, the installation of side mirrors, the absence of a searchlight, the position of the headlights, and the higher passenger compartment.
