Russian Army Takes Delivery of a New Batch of BMP-3 Infantry Fighting Vehicles

As part of the implementation of the state defense order, Kurganmashzavod, part of the High-Precision Complexes holding company of the Rostec state corporation, supplied the Russian military with a new batch of BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles. This was reported by the press service of the holding.

Deputy Executive Director for State Defense Orders and Military-Technical Cooperation at Kurganmashzavod Roman Khromov in an interview with RIA Novosti earlier that after studying the American Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, it was revealed that it was “completely inferior” to the BMP-3.

These combat vehicles are actively used as part of a special military operation carried out by Russian troops. Khromov emphasized that thanks to its powerful 100-mm gun, the BMP-3 is capable of effectively destroying enemy infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers with the first shot.

The BMP-3, developed and produced by Kurganmashzavod, is equipped with complex weapons, including a 100-mm gun-launcher, and an automated fire control system. The vehicle is capable of speeds of up to 70 km/h on land and up to 9.5 km/h on water. Its total combat weight without additional protection is 19 tons.
