All this questions on the BMP 3

[RommL]

think you that the BMP 3 will have access to the ARKAN ?

If it will be in a position to destroy helicopters?

How will many munitions for the infantry dispose it?

look this vidéo.

Gotta love the spiel in the video:D

Of course I like how there's no mention of the slight fire hazard with all that exposed main gun ammo in the turret , or that you need to completely open the rear to get anyone in or out of it;)

Well the whole "fire hazard from exposed ammunition in the fighting compartment" is just business as usual for the Russians, so it's really not worth mentioning

That said, if your IFV gets hit with a penetrating shot into the bottom half of the hull, I'd imagine you wouldn't have a pleasant time regardless of exposed ammo.

But yeah, that voice over was horrific ... the whole "speaking through the nose to mask a terrible accent" was quite annoying.

As for destroying helicopters, I'd quite certain the answer is 'no' - Arkan or not. For the same reason we don't have other SAM/AAA systems available on the battlefield.

It's also cool how the video producers steal the 1960 Theme Song for the movie "Exodus", to use in the BMP3 video introduction.

I dont know what that has to do with anything, but I thought I would mention it anyway.

At least the fuel tanks are no longer mounted on the rear doors on the new models.
