To rescue people stranded due to blizzards and heavy snowfall at the Asadabad Pass (Hamadan province), the Iranian armed forces deployed BMP-2.

A large number of vehicles with passengers trapped in the snow had to be rescued by Russian-made military equipment. It is known that the "twos" are distinguished by good cross-country ability in any terrain and can confidently act in extreme conditions.

It is interesting that in our country and in some CIS countries, as part of the conversion, a large number of civilian models designed to perform various tasks, including in emergency situations, were created on the platform of domestic infantry fighting vehicles.

In Iran, our light armored vehicles are traditionally highly valued. For example, BTR-60 floating armored personnel carriers are often used for rescue operations during floods.

First-generation infantry fighting vehicles began to be purchased back in the 70s, under the Shah's regime, when the country's military department mainly tried to acquire weapons in the United States or Great Britain.

Currently, about two hundred BMP-1s and more than 400 BMP-2s continue to remain in the troops.

The latter began to modernize, for example, to install Dehlaviyeh anti-tank missile systems with laser guidance on them, which are variants of the Kornet-E ATGM.

In addition, the designs of Russian armored vehicles served as the basis for the own IFVs produced by the industry of the Islamic Republic, called Boragh. On their basis, a whole family of vehicles has been created, including armored personnel carriers, anti-aircraft defense installations with ZU-23-2, self-propelled 120 mm mortars, tank destroyers with ATGM Toophan and transporters for the delivery of ammunition.
