BMP-2M

My custom BMP-2M. Yea yea the front of the hull is supposed to be sloped alot more I just couldn't find out a better solution.

BMP stands for: Boyevaya Mashina Pekhoty, Russian: Боевая Машина Пехоты; infantry combat vehicle. The BMP-2 is a second-generation, amphibious infantry fighting vehicle introduced in the 1980s in the Soviet Union, following the BMP-1 of the 1960s.

 

The improvements made to the BMP-2 from the BMP-1:

-A new two-man turret armed with the 2A42 30 mm autocannon and the 9P135M ATGM launcher capable of firing SACLOS guided 9M111 "Fagot" (AT-4 Spigot), 9M113 "Konkurs" (AT-5 Spandrel) and 9M113M "Konkurs-M" (AT-5B Spandrel B) anti-tank missiles.

 

-The commander now sits with the gunner in an enlarged turret.

 

-Seven troops are carried instead of eight.

 

-Two rear infantry roof hatches instead of four.

 

-Slightly improved armour

 

-The BMP-2M- This is the general designator for upgraded (modernizirovannyj) versions.

The version BMP-2M "Berezhok" from KBP has an additional AG-30 grenade launcher, 2+2 launchers for ATGM 9M133 "Kornet" and new day/night sights as found on the BMD-4. This upgrade was selected by Algeria.

-The upgrade package from Kurganmashzavod consists of the UTD-23 turbocharged engine of 400 hp (294 kW), new sights BPK-3-42 and TKN-AI, additional passive armour, AG-17 "Plamya" grenade launcher and an air conditioning unit KBM-2.
