In the next two years the Russian Airborne Forces are also to get Typhoon special task armored vehicles air-droppable by parachutes, and also standardized Bakhcha-U-PDS parachute systems for airdropping from Il-76 airlifters BMD-4M and BTR-MDM vehicles with crews inside. Over the same period, the Airborne Forces will receive airborne training simulators to practice operating Arbalet special parachute systems from jumping to landing.
