BMD-3

The BMD-3 is fully amphibious, becoming a highly adaptable war marchine.
By Staff Writer

Bookmark and Share

The BMD-3 is built upon the BMD-1 and BMD-2 designs. The BMD-3 design is heavier than it's predecessors and features a variety of weapons at the crews disposal. The BMD-3 seems to be a fixture for Russian Airborne Division elements and has yet to be seen incorporated into the regular army as of this writing.

Suspension is adjustable, allowing the weapon system to clear a variety of obstacles, and the unit is fully amphibious as well. the BMD-3 adds another element to the already deep history of the APC in traditional Russian military doctrine.
