pretty sure they are making everything now to the M standard for parts interoperability with bmp-3/bmd-4m/btr-mdm.
I havent seen the sprut in theater yet, thought they were pitching it to the Indian army.
( i want the trumpeter kit as well as the bmp-2m)

From the Meng FB site:
The Fierce āMastiffā on the Battlefield
The Mastiff 2 is a 6X6 Wheeled Protected Patrol Vehicle upgraded from the Mastiff Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle. In 2006, the UK started purchasing the first batch of Mastiff MRAP vehicles based on the Cougar MRAP vehicle for the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Mastiff has improved protection and self-defense capabilities. Its hull is fully protected by slat armor and windows have double-layer bulletproof glass which offers good visibility. The Mastiff 2 has interior spall liners, blast attenuating seats, stronger axles, upgraded suspension, run-flat tires and explosion-proof fuel tank. In July 2020, with the gradual withdrawal of Western troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, the UK announced that a number of armored vehicles, incl. the Mastiff 2, would be retired from active duty. In April 2022, the UK announced that it would provide Ukraine with about 80 armored vehicles, including the Mastiff 2.
This MENG 1/35 British Mastiff 2 6x6 Wheeled Protected Patrol Vehicle plastic model will be 233mm long and 114mm wide when assembled. This kit includes two paint schemes. Now, letās check the details.

The Mastiff 2 Wheeled Protected Patrol Vehicle has been a star on the battlefield with its high mobility and excellent protection. Donāt you want to build such a unique Protected Patrol Vehicle model yourself?
Erā¦no, not really, but I expect it will be popular.
The question was raised by Meng , not by me 
I copy/pasted the article straight from their pageā¦
Believe it or not, i was aware of thatā¦
Quite unexpected 
Thanks for postingā¦I canāt really tell if they are or are notā¦
If it will be based on MENGs Cougar 6x6 it is too long.
Hope they did NEW model.

Would take it with a big pinch of salt, the 2S25 is not even in service yet, also neither is it based on the BMD 3 hull, of course that could have been a typo for BMP 3 but who knows.
