The BMD-3 is no longer in service anymore, with production favouring the BMD-4M and BTR-MDM. [1] In 2016 Russia had only 10 BMD-3 in service, alongside 100 BMD-1, 1000 BMD-2, 42 BMD-4/4M, and 12 BTR-MDM. [6] In 2022, prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia had approximately 1000 BMD-2, 351 BMD-4M, and 122 BTR-MDM vehicles in active ...
Russia has opened an investigation after video footage was published on social media showing what appear to be a military policeman savagely beating contract soldiers bound for Ukraine with a ...
There are over 100 BMD-3 (1990) that were partially upgraded to BMD-4 level. All of them are amphibious, moving at around 10 km/h in water. The BMD-4 is capable of full, continuous fire while in deep water, unlike any other vehicle with such heavy weaponry (100 mm gun and 30 mm auto cannon).
The BMP-3 has a range of 600 km, an altitude of operation of up to 3,000 m and it is transportable by train, truck, sea, and air. The BMP-3 engine is a diesel four-stroke, liquid-cooled design. The transmission is a four-speed hydromechanical power unit, with power takeoff to its water jets.
In the early 1990s, the Volgograd tractor plant created a new self-propelled tank destroyer based on a modified prototype light tank classified as Object 934. [1] The plant was also the designer and manufacturer of the BMD-1, BMD-2, BMD-3 and latest BMD-4 airborne combat vehicles that are used by the Russian Air Assault Divisions.
Like its predecessor, the BMD-4 is capable of parachuting from aircraft with the entire crew and passengers inside the vehicle which allows target engagement after landing to be instant. An Il-76 is able to transport two of these vehicles at a time in comparison to three BMD-1s and BMD-2s. [3] Its engine is the 2V-06-2; the same as the BMD-3.
In December 2023, however, new videos emerged showcasing an armoured train exercise. [15] The train - likely to be Yenisei given the presence of a loaded BMP-2 - was conducting a new form of engagement procedure that was more 'front-line' than the traditional 'rear-line' logistical support role it was originally given.
The company's main products are the well-known BMP-2 and BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles, [3] which are in service in 29 countries [4] and, since April 2024, the BMD-4 airborne fighting vehicles. [5] The company also produces a wide range of civil products, such as small-sized tractors, municipal construction machines and automobile trailers ...
