The "D" of BMP-2D stands for desantnaya – assault. The vehicle was fitted with additional spaced type steel appliqué armour on the hull sides, under the driver's and commander's stations, and 6 mm thick appliqué armour on the turret. Due to the added weight the vehicle is no longer amphibious. It also has provision for mounting a mine clearing system under the nose of the vehicle.
The vehicle was designed in 1981 and entered service since 1982. The BMP-2D saw combat during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, where Western observers saw the vehicle for the first time and gave it a designation "BMP-2E".
Overview[]
European Escalation[]
The BMP-2 series is considered the predecessor of BMP-3 in European Escalation. That is to say, unlocking BMP-3 requires unlocking all variants of BMP-2 first.
The only difference between BMP-2D and BMP-2 is that the former has increased its four-way armor by 1, from 1/1/0/0 to 2/2/1/1, which is a very cost-effective upgrade.
