Why this kit matters
The BMD-2 is a Soviet-designed airborne infantry fighting vehicle that entered service in the mid-1980s. Developed as a successor to the BMD-1, it offers improvements in firepower, mobility, and overall battlefield effectiveness while retaining the light weight and airdroppable capability crucial for airborne operations. The BMD-2 is equipped with a 30 mm 2A42 autocannon, a 7.62 mm PKT coaxial machine gun, and a 9P135M launcher capable of firing 9M111 Fagot or 9M113 Konkurs anti-tank guided missiles. Its lightweight design and amphibious capability make it suitable for rapid deployment via air, either through parachute drops or landing directly from transport aircraft.
Despite being introduced in the 1980s, the BMD-2 remains in service, with some vehicles receiving upgrades to improve their combat effectiveness. Its ability to be air-dropped or transported easily makes it a valuable asset for rapid response forces. The BMD-2 has seen service with Russian and former Soviet airborne forces in various conflicts, including the Soviet-Afghan War, the Chechen Wars, and more recent conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
