Man, from what I learn from your posts, I really would like our govt to add that BMP to the probable procurement list.

The only problem I see with ERA on an IFV or AFV is its effect on dismounted troops when it gets hit. Maybe instead of ERA, use applique armor instead? |

should we buy russian? definitely yes enough of us-made equipment that always fall short of the real promised thing and i dont buy that argument that russian mil equipment are substandard, well that bmp3m may not be as hightech as bradley but its better than m113 and v150 or simba |

 The US maybe the world's number one arms provider but Russian arms sales in Asia are MORE THAN DOUBLE those of America. If the other Asian countries are buying, why not us? |

That BMP-3M has no ARENA active defense system installed yet. I don't see any millimeter wave radar on top of the turret. |

I really would like our AFP to consider the BMP-3, at 800K dollars fully loaded, its affordable compared to the European and American new gen IFVs. |
