BMP: Amphibious or a Watery Grave?
How amphibious are the BMP-1 and BMP-2 really? What are the problems in real life and what are its capabilities on paper. Is it really buoyant or more like a watery grave? For this we look at statements by a German combat engineer currently serving in the Ukraine War ( / buttjerfreimann ) and we also look at original manuals of the BMP.
Disclosure in 2018, 2019 & 2020 I was invited by the Panzermuseum Munster.
