It is known that the “BMP-2” is characterized by the ability to cross obstacles in all terrains, and can operate confidently in harsh weather conditions.
Interestingly, Russia and some CIS countries were able to manufacture large quantities of civilian models placed on the BMP platform for various tasks, including in emergency situations.

Russian light vehicles have traditionally been popular in Iran, and the BTR-60, for example, is an effective way to carry out rescue operations in times of disasters such as floods.
In the 1970s, Iran began purchasing first-generation BMP armored vehicles, although the Iranian military leadership had mainly tried to acquire American or British-made weapons. At the moment, about 200 BMP-1 vehicles and 400 BMP-2 vehicles are still used in the Iranian army, which have been modernized by equipping them with Russian-made Kornet-E anti-tank systems.
Moreover, the designs of Russian armor formed the basis for the Iranian-made “BMP” armored vehicles, which it called “Barq”. There are also Russian “ZU-23-2” anti-aircraft guns, 120mm mortars and other Russian-made military equipment.
