Team : Hawk Republic # BMP-3 (1987) Role : Infantry Fighting Vehicle ## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/bmp-3-1987.md#general-information) Description : The **BMP-3 (1987)** is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle that entered Soviet service in the late 1980s, combining a low-profile tracked hull with an unusually heavy armament suite. It was designed to keep pace with tanks while carrying a full infantry squad and providing direct fire support. The 18.7 t vehicle is crewed by a driver, gunner, and commander plus six passengers, and is fully amphibious at 4 km/h; a **UTD-29** diesel delivers 500 hp (26.7 hp/t) for 70 km/h on land, with active suspension and neutral steering. The turret mounts a **100mm 2A70** (or 2A70M) gun/launcher firing **9M117** (or 9M117M1) ATGMs and HE, a **30mm 2A72** autocannon, and a **7.62mm PKT**; two passenger **7.62mm PKT** positions are also fitted. Fire control includes a stabilizer, laser rangefinder, and FCS. Smoke grenades and an engine smoke system are standard.
