The Russian BMP infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) was one of the most significant innovations in infantry tactics in the latter half of the 20th century. Built in response to the threat of nuclear warfare, it was the world's first IFV, providing the infantry squad with unprecedented firepower, mobility and protection.

With over 55,000 manufactured since 1966, the BMP is also numerically one of the most important armoured vehicles ever built. This richly illustrated book examines the development and design of the BMP, detailing its armaments, performance in combat and variants.

BMP Infantry Fighting Vehicle 1967–94 by Steven J. Zaloga provides an in-depth look into this iconic vehicle, offering unique insights into its historical context and technical specifications for enthusiasts and military historians alike.
