There is no slur, sir.

Here's a cat eating a cheeseburger, sir.

Power/Weight Ratio: 21 hp/tonne

Operational Range: 600 km (370 mi)

Variants and Upgrades:

BMP-2D: An upgraded version with additional spaced steel appliqué armor on the hull sides and turret, improving protection but losing amphibious capability due to increased weight. It saw service in the Soviet–Afghan War.

BMP-2K: A command variant with additional communications equipment, distinct whip antennas, and modified firing ports.

BMP-2M: A general designator for modernized versions. Upgrades can include a more powerful 400 hp turbocharged engine, improved sights, additional passive armor, and an automatic grenade launcher. The "Berezhok" variant features a new turret with a 30mm autocannon, machine gun, grenade launcher, Kornet-M ATGMs, and new day/night sights.

BMO-1: A transport vehicle for a flamethrower squad, armed with thermobaric rocket launchers, entered service in 2001.

Licensed Production: The BMP-2 has been manufactured under license in Czechoslovakia (BVP-2) and India (Sarath).

Protection and Survivability:

Armor: The armor layout mainly consists of High Hardness Rolled Armour.

Frontal and turret armor is designed to stop light autocannon fire.

Sides are generally resistant to machine gun fire, though 12.7 mm (.50 calibre) rounds can penetrate the side and rear.

Vulnerability: Ammunition is stored near or inside the crew compartment, which can lead to catastrophic failure if the hull is breached. Survivability can be low due to the small, three-person crew; if two crew members are incapacitated by a penetrating round, the vehicle is out of action.

NBC System: Fitted with a PAZ overpressure NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) system and a fire suppression system.

Mobility:

Engine: Powered by a UTD-20/3 6-cylinder diesel engine producing 300 hp (225 kW).

Speed: Maximum road speed is 65 km/h (40 mph) and off-road speed is 45 km/h (28 mph).

Performance: While reasonable, its acceleration and off-road performance are not considered excellent compared to some peers.
