MOSCOW - Russia aims to put the Typhoon-VDV armored vehicle into service later this year.

A report released by UralVagonZavod indicates that the Typhoon-VDV, which features a remote-weapon station (RWS), will enter service with the military before the end of 2017.

Referencing the RWS, the report said, "Now it is undergoing state tests and is to become operational within the Typhoon armored vehicle at the end of 2017."

As Tass News Agency reported, the RWS is designed by Burevestnik Central Research Institute. The turret features a 30mm 2A42 automatic cannon as well as a 7.62mm machine gun.
