Team Yankee Russian BMP-1 / BMP-2 Company
The Soviet BMP infantry fighting vehicle revolutionized mechanized warfare, giving infantry the protection of an armoured transport while allowing them to fight alongside tanks. The BMP-1 carried a 73mm gun and AT-3 Sagger missile, while the later BMP-2 upgraded to a rapid-firing 30mm autocannon and AT-5 Spandrel missile for even greater anti-armour capability. In Team Yankee, a BMP Company forms the backbone of Soviet motor rifle regiments, delivering mobility, firepower, and versatility.

About the Vehicle:
The BMP family was designed to keep pace with Soviet tank formations and give infantry both protection and offensive punch. The BMP-1 entered service in the 1960s, becoming one of the most produced IFVs in history, while the BMP-2 improved firepower and survivability to counter NATO advances. These vehicles gave Soviet forces flexible combined-arms capability, making motor rifle companies some of the most formidable units of the Cold War.
