The BMP-K-64 armored personnel carrier was developed as a private venture by Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau. Previously this vehicle was referred as BMPT-K-64. It is a conversion of the ageing T-64 main battle tank. First prototype was completed in 2005. Developers refer this vehicle as wheeled infantry fighting vehicle. Similar tracked vehicle is called BMPV-64. As of 2014 the BMP-K-64 exists only as a prototype. (wikipedia)
