The BMP-3 combat vehicles, acquired from Kurganmashzavod, feature a low-velocity 2A70 100mm rifled gun that can fire conventional HE-frag shells to demolish buildings.
The armoured vehicle can also fire long-range ATGMs, a 30mm auto-cannon and a medium machine gun as a single unit in the turret.
The UAE is the largest global operator of the vehicle and has about 600 IFVs in its inventory, according to Brahmand.
