What, you ma6 ask, does a BMD use a parachute for?
“
Like its predecessor, the BMD-4 is capable of parachuting from aircraft with the entire crew and passengers inside the vehicle which allows target engagement after landing to be instant. An Il-76 is able to transport two of these vehicles at a time in comparison to three BMD-1s and BMD-2s.”
Tula is the home air base for a regiment of IL-76 transport.
