The Kurganets-25 () is a tracked amphibious, 25-ton modular infantry fighting vehicle and armored personnel carrier being developed for the Russian Army. The Kurganets-25 is planned to evolve into various models, gradually replacing BMP, BMD, MT-LB and other types of tracked Soviet armored platforms. The Kurganets-25 is supposed to have modular armor that can be upgraded for specific threats. The Kurganets-25 IFV and APC variants were first seen in public (initially with the turret and main armament shrouded) during rehearsals for the 2015 Moscow Victory Day Parade. Serial production was supposed to begin in 2016, but as of 2020, certification by the military is still pending. In 2023, it was confirmed that Kurganets was undergoing trials, and that the vehicle was modified at the customer's request. The changes affected the Kurganets-25 chassis, which as a result became more reliable and also easier to operate and repair.
A few of the vehicles were seen in the 2025 Moscow Victory Day Parade.
