The BMP-3 is a Russian armored tracked vehicle that falls into the category of infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs). It is a versatile and heavily armed military vehicle that serves a critical role in modern mechanized warfare.


Key features and characteristics of the BMP-3 include:


Armament: The BMP-3 is equipped with a powerful 100mm 2A70 semi-automatic rifled gun, which can fire a variety of ammunition, including high-explosive shells and anti-tank guided missiles. It also boasts a 30mm 2A72 autocannon and a coaxial machine gun for engaging both armored and soft targets.


Transport Capacity: The BMP-3 can carry a squad of infantry troops, typically around 7 to 8 soldiers, in the rear compartment. This allows for the rapid deployment and protection of infantry units directly into the battlefield.


Armor: The vehicle is equipped with composite armor to protect against small arms fire and artillery shell splinters. It also features an NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) protection system for crew safety in hazardous environments.


Mobility: Powered by a 500-horsepower engine, the BMP-3 can reach speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour on roads and is amphibious, capable of traveling on water at a speed of around 10 kilometers per hour using waterjets.
