 <!-- ''Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members.

-The BMP-3 is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV), and has comparable armour to other IFVs. It uses special alloys in its construction, which are not equivalent to Rolled Homogeneous Armour (RHA, this is the type of armour that ammunition displays penetration against on stat cards). The front of the BMP-3 has about 50 mm of armour with an additional fuel tank behind this armour. This protects it against any machine gun and some small cannon rounds such as 20 mm, but it will be penetrated by any IFV auto cannon that it might face. The front turret armour has similar levels of protection. The side armour is even worse, at only about 20 mm RHA effectiveness, it will be penetrated by .50 calibre ammunition.

 The survivability of the BMP-3 is very low. It has only 3 crew members who are closely spaced together. This means that most penetrating rounds will destroy the BMP-3 in one shot. Additionally, the BMP-3 is subject to the overpressure mechanic, so it will often be destroyed instantly when a large-calibre HE round detonates next to it. There are some empty spaces in the BMP-3 like the fuel tank in the front or the area in the back above the engine (where infantry would sit), but these would only be hit when directly side on with an enemy.

-In the late 70s, the Kurganmashzavod factory started developing a new infantry fighting vehicle to replace the BMP-1. The vehicle got a new experimental light tank chassis. The first models were supposed to be equipped with a 30mm cannon as its primary weapon, as well as grenade launchers, machine guns, and ATGM launchers. The military considered the vehicle's armament to be insufficient and said that it offered no real advantage over the BMP-1. In order to correct the situation, the Tula-based engineers suggested a new turret with the following armament: a rifled 100mm semi automatic cannon (also an ATGM launcher), a 30mm automatic cannon, and a PKT machine gun.

 The vehicle successfully underwent testing in this state, and in 1987, was accepted into the Soviet Army with the designation BMP-3. Since then, this combat vehicle has been used by the Russian Army and over ten other countries, with especially large quantities being purchased by the United Arab Emirates where the vehicle was chosen over the Bradley and Warrior. The BMP-3 is constantly being upgraded and is still considered one of the best combat vehicles of its class in the world.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (Object 688M) is a Soviet IFV designed with the intent of fulfilling a dual role of transporting infantry and providing heavy firepower support on the battlefield. Its development began in the 1970s, when engineers at Kurganmashzavod first came up with the idea, and it continued through the 1980s. It entered service with the Soviet Army in 1987, becoming an integral part of their armored units. One of the most notable differences between the {{Specs|name}} and its predecessor, the [[BMP-2]], is the weaponry. While the BMP-2 was armed with a 30mm 2A42 autocannon and the [[9M113 Konkurs]] ATGM, the {{Specs|name}} boasted much more potent armament. Its 100mm 2A70 semi-automatic cannon, in combination with a 30mm 2A72 autocannon, gave it an edge in both anti-armor capabilities and fire support. Throughout its relatively brief service in the Soviet Union, the {{Specs|name}} proved successful in its intended roles. It later served in the Russian military and was exported to a number of other nations.

 The {{Specs|name}} was introduced in [[Update 1.93 "Shark Attack"]] as a high-tier IFV. It uses its main cannon to fire ATGMs, in contrast to earlier BMP variants. However, there is the option to select HE shells for engaging lighter targets and the convenience of a quicker reload time compared to the ATGMs. Apart from that, the {{Specs|name}} still retains the capabilities of earlier variants, notably the BMP-2.
