Original Vehicle – History and Usage

The BMP-3F IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle, version F) is a specialized variant of the BMP-3, designed by Russia for amphibious operations on bodies of water as well as providing support for marine infantry. The BMP-3 entered production in the mid-1980s and has been upgraded since then – the 3F version was developed in the early 21st century with the Russian Naval Infantry in mind. The vehicle has been used by Russia in exercises and operations in areas of high strategic importance, such as the coasts of the Black Sea or the Pacific Ocean.

The BMP-3F model is distinguished by its ability to swim and fire its main armament while crossing water obstacles. Its modern operational period (after 2005) makes it a perfect addition to collections focused on 21st-century conflicts and contemporary armed forces.
