BMP-2*
*
Number in use: some 110*
*
Between 1988-1990 some small deliveries of*
BMP-2s were received from the USSR. These*
IFVs are the main IFV of the new Mechanized*
Battlegroups and fight with the Leopards.*
The ATGM launchers were removed in 2005.*
*
Entering the 21st century the vehicle is*
starting to show age: the night fighting*
capability, armour and main gun penetration*
are no longer sufficent against most IFVs*
they would face. This makes the vehicles*
even more reliant on the support of the*
PzJaegers they carry and the Leopards.*
