The BMD-2 is an airborne tracked armored IFV Infantry Fighting Vehicle designed by the Russian defense Company Arkadyi Shabalin. The first prototype of the BMD-2 was completed in 1985 and was first seen in 1988. Production of vehicles started in 1989. Production of the BMD-2 was undertaken at the Volgograd Tractor Plant. The vehicle has been designed to be airdropped by parachutes thanks to a very light hull and a small combat turret. It has a weight of only 8,225 kg.  It is now being supplemented by the more advanced airborne infantry armored vehicle BMD-3.
