BMP (Boyevaya Mashina Pekhoty)

A BMP (Boyevaya Mashina Pekhoty) is a Russian abbreviation for a main battle tank designed to support infantry units. It combines heavy armor, firepower, and mobility, allowing it to engage enemy forces, protect soldiers, and operate effectively on the battlefield.

They serve as versatile platforms that enhance infantry combat power by providing direct fire support, engaging fortified positions, and facilitating rapid troop movement during military operations.
