The BMP-3 is a Tier 6 progression Armored Fighting Vehicle under Sophie Wölfli's dealership.

History[ | ]

Class: Infantry Fighting Vehicle
Developed: 1980-1986
Service: 1987+
Vehicles Built: cca 2000
Operators: Soviet Union, Russia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Venezuela, Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka

Unlike the BMP-2, this vehicle from the late 1980s was a true replacement for the BMP-1 and BMP-2, not just an upgrade, featuring a new 2K23 turret armed with a combination of a 30mm autocannon and a 100mm gun. Unfortunately for it, the fall of the Soviet Union severely limited its development funds as well as its production orders and, to this day, only about two thousand have been built. Nevertheless, it is the current main IFV of the Russian Federation and took part in several major conflicts, including the First Chechen War and the ongoing war in Yemen.

Vehicle Traits[ | ]

  • Harder to Spot: When moving slowly, this vehicle does not lose any camouflage and can effectively creep around.
  • Designate Target: This vehicle has the ability to designate targets that are within its line of sight. Designated targets are marked to other players and take increased damage.
  • Amphibious: This vehicle is more resistant to taking on water, allowing it to traverse wider rivers or lakes.
  • Recon Package: This vehicle's set of advanced optics provides an improved vision range when stationary.
  • Troop Compartment: This vehicle features a troop compartment, allowing you to repair your modules faster and to capture objectives more effectively.
  • Extra Autocannon: This vehicle is armed with a coaxial autocannon, providing extra firepower against light targets.
