BMP-3 – a modern infantry fighting vehicle

The BMP-3 is one of the most modern combat vehicles, developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s, with serial production first starting in 1987. After the collapse of the USSR, the vehicle was introduced into service in the Russian Federation and widely exported to countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, and Kuwait. The vehicle has participated in conflicts such as the Chechen conflict and various Middle Eastern wars. The version with cage armour was particularly used in military operations in Ukraine and Syria, which increased the unit's resistance to attacks using anti-tank grenade launchers and improvised explosive devices—characteristic of modern conflicts.
