The BMP-1 was a revolution in armored warfare as it pioneered the Infantry Fighting Vehicle, combining the Armored Personnel Carrier with the light tank to create a vehicle that could not only safely carry troops under fire, but also use its own firepower to support them. Armed with a 73mm cannon, the BMP wasn't expected to take out enemy tanks on its own, but it was formidable enough to threaten enemy infantry and light vehicles. In particular, the BMP was designed specifically to be radiation-shielded so that in the event of a nuclear attack, Soviet infantry could still advance in hazardous conditions. Created in the 1960s, the BMP-1 was eventually succeeded by the BMP-2 in 1980, which replaced the 73mm cannon with a 30mm autocannon.
