Team Yankee Soviet BMD Company (x5 Plastic)
Airborne Infantry Support with Speed and Firepower
Historical Background:
The BMD (Boyevaya Mashina Desanta) series was developed by the Soviet Union to provide its airborne forces (VDV) with mobile, air-droppable firepower. The BMD-1, introduced in the 1970s, and its successors gave Soviet paratroopers a lightweight infantry fighting vehicle equipped with a 73mm gun, coaxial machine gun, and anti-tank missile launcher—all on a fully amphibious, compact chassis. Designed to be deployed from aircraft and even parachuted with crew inside, the BMD allowed Soviet airborne troops to conduct rapid assaults behind enemy lines with mechanized support. In Team Yankee, BMDs bring mobility and punch to your VDV formations, enabling fast strikes and flexible deployment.
