1973年中东战争期间,以色列军队获得几十辆BMP步兵战车,其中有一部份没有被毁坏,这样就有可能对它进行分析研究。对待这些BMP车,以色列军队並没有象对待获得的T—55、T—62坦克那样,将共装备自己的部队。他们对BMP车做了大量试验,以便考查其战斗价值。不仅以色列这样做了,而且在美国、西德和英国也是达样做的。 During the Middle East war in 1973, dozens of BMP infantry fighting vehicles were acquired by Israeli forces and some of them were not destroyed, so that it was possible to conduct an analysis and study on it. For these BMP cars, the Israeli army will not be equipped with its own troops as the T-55 and T-62 tanks it treated. They did a great deal of experimentation with BMP cars in order to test their combat value. Not only has Israel done this, but it has also done so in the United States, West Germany and Britain.
