  • BMP-5C: Turret replaced with two four-missile 9M311 launchers.
  • BMP-5D: 30mm chain gun deleted; .50-cal takes its place. Internal space expanded for battlefield hospital, holding four standardised stretchers.
  • BMP-5E: Turret replaced with extensive sensor suite for artillery support.
  • BMP-5F: Two minelayer systems mounted on rear.

  • BMP-5I: Two tandem 9M123 Khrizantema launchers added to turret.
  • BMP-5K: Command variant; includes additional radios.
