45 km/h (28 mph) (off-road) 7 km/h (4.3 mph) (water) The BMP-2 (Boyevaya Mashina Pekhoty, Russian: Боевая Машина Пехоты, literally "combat machine/vehicle (of the) infantry") [4] is an amphibious infantry fighting vehicle introduced in the 1980s in the Soviet Union, following on from the BMP-1 of the 1960s.
Function. BMP-2 like other bone morphogenetic proteins, [6] plays an important role in the development of bone and cartilage. It is involved in the hedgehog pathway, TGF beta signaling pathway, and in cytokine -cytokine receptor interaction. It is also involved in cardiac cell differentiation and epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors also known as cytokines and as metabologens. [1] Professor Marshall Urist and Professor Hari Reddi discovered their ability to induce the formation of bone and cartilage, BMPs are now considered to constitute a group of pivotal morphogenetic signals, orchestrating tissue architecture throughout the body.
That said, a BMP-2’s autocannon could still defeat a Bradley’s side or rear armor. Bradley from B Company of the 12th Cavalry Regiment launches a TOW missile at the Grafenwoehr training range ...
Type 1 contains a glycine-serine-rich domain to be phosphorylated by type 2 kinase domain, initiating the signaling transduction pathway of the SMAD signaling cascade. [3] The wrist epitope motif on BMP-2 has a high-affinity binding site for BMPR-IA. The knuckle epitope motif on BMP-2 has a low-affinity binding site for BMPR-II. [4]
BMP-1-30 – Modernization of the BMP-1, a prototype was built and tested in 1997. It came with a standard BMP-1 chassis equipped with the BMD-2 turret with 30 mm 2A42 autocannon and UTD-230 diesel engine developing 360 hp (268 kW) (its maximum road speed was increased to 70 km/h). It carries 300 rounds for the main gun.
[117] [118] [51] As of 17 July 2024, at least 854 (780 BMP-1(P), 49 BMP-1AM, 22 BMP-1 675sb3KDZ and 3 BMP-1U Shkval) have been lost in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. An additional 198 losses in the list that are either BMP-1 or BMP-2, but for which a definitive classification as either cannot be made. [51] BMP-2: Infantry fighting vehicle ...
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. The suspension is independent, with a torsion bar and six hydraulic shock absorbers. Steering is by gear differential with hydrostatic drive.
