The BMP-3 is the main Infantry Fighting Vehicle of the Russian Federation's Spetsnaz Guard Brigades teams in the EndWar novel.

While it is cramped and somewhat lightly armoured (although the extremely sloped front glacis can resist 30 mm autocannon shells), it is small, amphibious and carries a daunting array of weaponry: a 30 mm autocannon, a 100 mm cannon/missile launcher equipped with an autoloader and a 7.62 mm machine gun mounted co-axially in the turret and an additional pair of fixed forward-firing 7.62 mm MGs; in addition to all that, the vehicle has firing ports.

In the game, the SGB's IFV is the BTR-112 Cockroach, which has superior anti-air capability.
