Soviet BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle was introduced in 1980 as successor to the BMP-1 and has many improved features and an enhanced combat capability. An ideal type of amphibious vehicle, it is distinguished by a modern armament (30 mm automatic cannon, anti-tank missiles) and the ability to accommodate 7 gunners under cover firing through ports. Distributed throughout the sphere of influence of the former Soviet Union, it was also used by the East German army. Nowadays it is in the service of the NATO states despite being originally designed to combat them.
