BMP (Ob'yekt 764) – The original main prototype of the BMP-1 was developed by the design bureau of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Works (ChTZ) and built in 1965. In comparison with Ob'yekt 765Sp1, Ob'yekt 764 was 4 mm higher, had a maximum swimming speed of 10 km/h, a lower maximum range (550 km on road) and a reduced number of firing ports for its passenger's armament (six).

Therefore, the Soviet Union decided to produce an updated and improved version of the BMP-1.
The hull is noticeably more angular compared to the BMP-1/2 and that choice may be due to ease of manufacturing. Also amphibious. Armament is the same as everything on the BMP-1, but could include up to 4 CTVN-18 (domestic Malyutka). Prototype being built at Z189 shipyard and Z125 factory.
The BMP-1 is unable to engage targets using the 2A28 "Grom" gun from some hull-down positions due to its limited depression, making it vulnerable to enemy fire. [8] The limited elevation of the main gun, its lack of firepower and inaccuracy against point targets at 500–700 metres (550–770 yd) meant that it could not fight effectively in the ...
