Following the BMP-1, the BMP-2 saw many quality of life improvements from the original vehicle, all of it based on its combat experiences, one of said experiences was the inefficiencies the BMP-1 had fighting against infantry targets.
The BMP-2 saw its main armament changed for a 30mm autocannon, the Shipunov 2A42, capable of firing High Explosive and Armor Piercing rounds. Along with the 30mm cannon, the BMP-2 also received an upgraded ATGM, the 9M113 Konkurs. Another feature that made the BMP-2 also stand out was in its capacity to engage low flying targets with its cannon.
