In order to excel in war, studying the opponent's strategies, strengths and defense equipment is important to master. Specifically regarding defense equipment, after recently there was an appearance of the Russian T-90A MBT (Main Battle Tank) in Louisiana which was being brought to the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. Apparently at the same location is another Russian armored gun, which can be identified as BMP-3.
This was revealed after the latest edition of the Outpost newspaper released photos of the visit of a congressional staff delegation of members of the US House of Representatives and US senate-elected Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. And one of the photos shows a Russian-made BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) that appears to have been delivered to the center for testing.
There is no further information about the figure of BMP-3 at the Yuma Proving Ground, other than the unique appearance of the amphibious ranpur painted in yellow.
