  fighting vehicle (IFV) originating from post-Cold War Russia. Originally designated as the BMD-3M, the chassis 
  of the BMD-4 is the same as that of the BMD-3 because it was developed on the same basis. 
  This armored fighting vehicle is one of the lightest in its class, possessing a substantial amount of
