Default BBM? Abbreviation has stumped me.

I consider myself knowledgeable on the Russian military compared to the average news reader but this has stumped me. By context clues I am assuming APC IFV or such but I am not sure (Given BTR and BMPs). Could be soft skin vehicles with the odd rule that sometimes everything with armor and a gun is a tank.

It is not in this. (Frist google result to a reference material)

Any thoughts? Internal Ukrainian nomenclature perhaps as they all seem to come from casualty estimates from the Ukrainian govt/military
