That is a BTR(vehicle) sysTem with a "repair and recovery crane winch" that comes with d btr system, some even comes with blade like the MT-LB tracked IfV .
You know for every or most IFV/AFV or APC there are different variants,let's take the BTR and I'll list all the variants. The repair and recovery r usually used by the engineers corps like the picture you asked about? The following are the variants of btr ;

Command and control post
Staff and command vehicle
Reconnainance vehicle

Repair and recovery(the one in d picture)
Medical support vehicle
Fire support vehicle
With a two gun 23mm turrent.

Those a d basics variants of btr systems


And secondly on the question u asked about the gun on the btr, no heavy calibre , AA/kords/Dshk gun mounted yet. That thing u see is a support system the gun is going to rest up-on when operated.

.

The only thing I don't know is that thing that looks like a box mounted on the guns on our ifv. And I have noticed it on the pictures posted by henry120 especially the guns mounted on the MT-LB tracked ifv and even on the mounted guns on d T-72 .
May be is a targteting system or laser guide or something I don't know just guessing ?

Winch for tow should be huge and visible at the back for ARV, what's that 'gun' in the front? I still don't get it. Sources say Nigeria did not buy any BTR-3 ARV version. We still need an ID.

This second photo shows a line of many BTR-3s in parking lot, no guns, no armament, are they new ones just purchased?

To me they look like btr 70: because of the cone like structure on the btr

They are different. The photo of the MI-35p in the air was taking in december in kiev, while the helicopter in the 2nd image was taken months ago in Nigeria.

They both come from ukraine though.

Our beautiful, very beautiful LAV.
