BMP-2 equipment records. Variants, orders and quantities are shown as reported in each inventory source; coverage is incomplete.
AfghanistanReported count for BMP-2. Country-wide list; no individual service specified. 1 distinct count cell(s) from the same source list; shared rowspan cells counted once. Excludes retired/reserve/on-order rows. Count column(s): quantity: 150. Origin: Soviet Union. The listed variants/roles are the scope, not an immediately deployable count. The components do not establish one inventory census date; the stored date is the retrieved source snapshot.
