History
The BMP-2 is a Soviet infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) that entered service in 1980 as an
upgrade to the original BMP-1. It was designed to better support mechanized infantry by
providing improved firepower, better target engagement, and increased effectiveness
against air and lightly armored threats. Its main armament is a 30 mm 2A42 automatic cannon, one of the most effective weapons of its class. The cannon can fire at both low and high rates. This gives the BMP-2 strong capability against infantry, light armor, helicopters, and low-flying aircraft. It is also armed with a coaxial 7.62 mm PKT machine gun and an externally mounted 9M113 Konkurs anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) launcher, capable of destroying modern main battle tanks at ranges up to 4 km. The BMP-2 carries a 3-man crew (commander, gunner, driver) and can transport 7 fully equipped infantry soldiers. Troops can fire their weapons through firing ports on the sides and rear, and exit through rear doors.
