Um livro assinado por Editora Osprey the «BMP Infantry Fighting Vehicle 1967–94 – NEW VANGUARD 12» .

The Russian BMP infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) was one of the most significant innovations in infantry tactics in the latter half of the 20th century. Built in response to the threat of nuclear warfare, it was the world’s first IFV, providing the infantry squad with unprecedented firepower, mobility and protection. With over 55,000 manufactured since 1966, the BMP is also numerically one of the most important armoured vehicles ever built. This richly illustrated book examines the development and design of the BMP, detailing its armaments, performance in combat and variants.

Um livro assinado por Editora Osprey the «Warrior Mechanised Combat Vehicle 1987–94 – NEW VANGUARD 10» .

The Warrior has been an important component of the British Army since the first production example was handed over in May 1987. It has seen action in many parts of the globe and the British Army alone uses eight different specialised versions of the vehicle, while Desert and Arctic Warriors are also produced for countries with extreme climates. In this authoritative text Christopher Foss examines the development and operational life of the Warrior, the British army’s most modern armoured personnel carrier, and its many variants, focussing on its role in ‘Desert Storm’ and other campaigns.
