@T_90AK@War_and_Fun@Trainman844239 -if they deemed that it's worth it to mod them just cuz the 2 standard offers the Brezok turret that is far superior to the BPPU of the 1AM. Their is nothing technically that is impossible to do. The Lower hull is identical after all.
@T_90AK@War_and_Fun@Trainman844239 I mean yea the BMP-1AM is a thing. That does not necessarily mean that they have not shifted things around. Realistically it's not that hard for them to mod the hull to a BMP-2 standard its not a MBT (not that the Russians have any issues with that too) however-
@EpochsOfEngines@_Kuscubasi@grok >AI repeats Usual pop history myths
Wow shocking the glorified search engine has stated the same thing most pop history ppl say...
Lol
@hshshsussyhyeg8@HEMemarian Yea I really won't trust any "open source" info since it's hardly reliable in this situation. Also again it's a modernization. Mass production of components must be closer then that since 3 fully functional prototypes already exist.
@War_and_Fun@T_90AK@Trainman844239 Well yea no shit. But the base armor is the same on both. The modernized BMP-2s get addon armor that enhances its performance. Just like the Bradley btw. Most IFVs base armor is about the same.
@EpochsOfEngines@_Kuscubasi A great example is Russian tank riders aka infantryman that ride on top of the tanks. Are you gonna apply the same logic to them too?
@EpochsOfEngines@_Kuscubasi Pop history myths.
Ppl you see on top most of the time were extra infantryman on top of the ones inside. And BTW BMPs had hatches that open upward so if having a fast way to escape was the idea they would do that instead of ride on top. Some armor is always better then no armor.
