These combat vehicles have made a real revolution in military affairs, forever changing the face of modern warfare. The primacy in their development belongs to the Soviet Union, and BMPs owe their birth to weapons of mass destruction - already in the 1950s it became obvious that in a nuclear war the infantry would not be able to operate in an area infected with radioactive fallout without reliable protection, which means that she vitally needs a light, massive, completely closed combat vehicle of high cross-country ability, protecting not only from bullets and fragments, but also from the damaging factors of a nuclear explosion, allowing motorized rifle units to overcome water obstacles and high radiation zones together with tanks.
