BMP (vehicle)

For other uses, see BMP.

The Soviet BMP series were among the first production-line infantry fighting-vehicles. The series includes the mainline BMPs, the airborne variant BMDs, and licensed modified (i.e. MLI-84) and reverse-engineered versions (i.e. Boragh, Type 86).

"BMP" (Russian: БМП) stands for Boyevaya mashina pekhoty – Russian: Боевая машина пехоты, lit. 'fighting-vehicle of infantry'. The vehicles were initially developed in the 1960s in the Soviet Union.
