The BMP-1 is a Soviet infantry fighting vehicle which was first introduced in the early 1960s. In the 1980s a improved version called the BMP-2 was introduced. The BMP is amphibious.
The BMP-1 first appeared in November 1967 and was the first Soviet infantry fighting vehicle. It was armed with the AT-3 Sagger ATGM giving it greater firepower compared with the western APCs (at its time). It replaced the BTR-50 in motorized infantry units. In the early 1980s an improved version called the BMP-2 was produced. It had a new two man turret with an 30 mm automatic gun and had the capability to use AT-4 Spigot or AT-5 Spandrel ATGMs.
