Found the pic here

The article claims it to be Russian. What is this?

5 road wheels, Christie type suspension......Appears to be some type of Recon, or Anti-Armor track.

OK, looking closer I think it might be an BMD-3 Airborne Combat Vehicle.

Looks like a light weight track that would be assigned to an airborne unit.

Sorry I doubt the crew manned part. I've seen Hmmvv's drop like bricks, this is a lot heavier than that. I see everyone dead if they were inside.

I'm gonna have to say BMD-2, not a BMD-3. I dont see a 100mm at this angle, plus I haven't seen any BMD-3s on file footage that I can recall
