Kendaraan perang yang handal di segala medan dan cuacaThe design of the BMP-3 or Ob'yekt 688M can be traced back to the light tank prototype Ob'yekt 685 with 100mm gun 2A48-1 from 1975. This vehicle didn't enter series production but the chassis, with a new engine, was used for the next-generation infantry combat vehicle Ob'yekt 688 from A. Blagonravov's design bureau. The Ob.688 weapons' configuration - an externally-mounted 30mm gun and twin ATGM "Konkurs" launcher - was rejected; instead the new 2K23 armament system was selected. The resulting BMP-3 was developed in the early 1980's and entered service with the Soviet army officially in 1987. It was shown for the first time in public during the 1990 May Parade and was given the NATO code ICV M1990/1. The "Trojka" is one of the most heavily armed combat vehicles around, fitted with a 2A70 100mm rifled gun, which can fire conventional HE-Frag shells or 9M117 (AT-10 Stabber) ATGMs (40 rounds + 8 ATGM are carried), 2A72 dual feed autocannon with 500 rounds, and a 7.62mm machine gun with 2,000 rounds, all mounted coaxially in the turret. There are also two 7.62mm bow machine guns, again with each 2,000 rounds. The BMP-3 is capable of engaging targets out to 5,000 - 6,000 meters, with its ATGM weapon system 9K116-3 "Basnya" (with an approximately eighty percent probability of a hit at that range). However, there is a minimum engagement range (about 100 meters in this case) within which the missile should not be fired and cannon fire should be used instead.[citation needed] In addition, there is a flight time of approximately twelve seconds to the maximum missile range.[citation needed] If the missile launcher is destroyed, missile guidance ceases and the missile may miss its target. It is important to note that the minimum engagement distance, flight time and vulnerability of launcher is representative of nearly all ATGM systems in service, due to most of them being command-guided (as opposed to fire-and-forget). BMP-3 of the UAE with "Namut" thermal sightAccording to the manufacturer's web-site, all weapons can be fired from the halt, on the move and afloat with the same effectiveness. The ability to hit targets on the move with missiles was successfully demonstrated during competitive evaluations in the UAE in 1991. The turret is fitted with the 2K23 system which consists of an automatic loader, a ballistic computer 1V539, a cross-wind sensor, a 2E52-2 stabilising system, the 1D16-3 laser range finder, the 1K13-2 gunner's sight/guidance device and the PPB-1 gunner's sight. The commander has a combined optical sight 1PZ-10, a day/night vision device TKN-3MB and an IR search light OU-3GA2. Also on board are one RPG-7, five RPG-18's, two MANPADS "Strela-3" or "Igla" and 10 hand grenades F-1. Although early models were powered by a 450hp engine UTD-29, most BMP-3's are equipped with the 500hp version UTD-29M. The other standard equipment consists of 5 firing ports with associated vision blocks, a tranceiver R-173, a receiver R-173P, a GO-27 radiation and chemical agent detector, an FVU filtration system, an automatic fire extinguisher and finally 6 smoke grenade launchers 81mm 902V "Tucha". The United Arab Emirates, the largest operator of the BMP-3 vehicle has expressed interest in mounting the BMP-3 turret on its future wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, the Patria AMV, thus enabling a more agile and faster vehicle, with the same firepower and protection capabilities.
