Miscellaneous Info: The Military Industrial Company (VPK) created the Bumerang series of wheeled combat vehicles (also referred to as the BTR-K) to replace the BTR-82A APC.  The Bumerang was designed around a modular base vehicle that could be used to fulfill many roles. Two (2) variants have been built as of writing (2021): the K-16 Armored Personnel Carrier and the K-17 Infantry Fighting Vehicle.  However, there are many other potential roles the series can perform, including Ambulance, Air-Defense, Anti-Tank Vehicle, Command/Control, Fire Support, Mortar and Reconnaissance.
