The BMP isn't a tank. It was an Infantry Fighting Vehicle that has been adapted into other roles, much like our Bradley which had variants.

@TheBelrick The main point was it was a vehicle to carry troops and provide fire support. The problem with its initial weapon was low velcity gun and as they said hand loading.

@anonymuz796 It was never a light tank, the last true Russian light tank was the PT-76. This was designed to carry troops and provide fire support.

@samoldfield5220 I am a vet, and confusing the current government to that of President Obama's and VP Biden's time is a joke. President Obama and his. VP allowed Crimea to be taken and Artesia to unilaterally declare two Ukrainian provinces independ are the true root of this current mess.

@umenhuman7573 You mean the M-113s.

@quanganhvu6791 While literally correct that sure is a clumsy mouthful in English.

@anonymuz796 i would have took go back and dig out books, but I think that you will find very little comparison. The original BMP had a troop compartment in the rear, not the engine. It used a 76mm gun, not the 76mm smooth bore weapon of the original BMP. In size the are closer and in amphibious capability and relatively light armor (although without checking, I can't say if the PT-76's armor was stronger than the BMP's which was only proof against small arms, machineguns (including .50 and 14.5mm)). In other words, I can see how the confusion came about.

@samoldfield5220 I can agree that our current President seems out of touch with reality and possibly delusional at times; and probably couldn't motivate someone to breakout of a paper bag even if they had a knife. Climate change fanatics are a separate problem, the latest report that I saw mentioned today mentioned a new 10 year deadline before catastrophe. These have being issued for at least 30 years and none have come true or even come close; so excessive concern over this issue is delusional, and that definitely applies to the Executive Branch of our Nation.

@MostlyPennyCat That same ten years to disaster language is what I am talking about. Al Gore said that the cities wou.d be submerged long before now. Check what some of these "experts" are really and find out who gives them grants for what; then we can talk.

@samoldfield5220 I didn't say that he made it a condition; only that his belief in it is strong and in my opinion delusional.

@Aditya ChavarkarLets see, Obama did nothing while Rusxia took the Ukraine since his sanctions were meaningless; while his administraion's policies included the "Great Reset" which was to make Russia a friend. His military aid to the Ukraine included no weapons at all. If you think that President Obama and his Administration were tough on Rusdia/Putin you have been using too many magic mushrooms and MJ.

@Aditya Chavarkar Lets, I do look outside my window and check the thermometer. I also have lived long enough to see cycles and studied history enough (besides my military history, I studied weather among other things as my duty was emergency planning which included natural and man-made disasters). I was born in a snow storm at the end of March which doesn't normally see them. On one vacation I was stopped by a snow closed road on the 4th of July. My first year out of the service I lost two car engines to the coldest winter in the region in recorded history. I remember the year as a teenager the roads in Cook County were closed due to snow for three days, and I pulled a sled more than a mile to the store. Besidez this year which had the longest or one of the longest periods of below freezing in recorded history here. Yes, I know that these are all personal events, but the point is that they occurred years apart from each others in climate cycles. Again an example from the past, in the 1880s there was at least one year cattle on the Great Plains froze to death standing up. Geologists, using tree rings and soil core samples showing a recurring drought cycle in North America about every 50 years with a decades long one occurring around every 500 years (strangely, the estimated for the last matches records of the Little Ice Age. Remember during the warming cycle that the Little Ice Age ended, areas of Greenland that people bemoan are warming were fertile enough to grow oats and barley, as well as support animal husbandry. The Vikings settled there during the period d archelogical research verified what I just mentioned. During the same period glaciers in the Alps advanced rapidly enough to overrun villages, and wide spread crop failures due to weather caused issues. These ended in the early 1800s, if the geological and historic records follow the same cycle, we are near the peak of this warming cycle. Could man affect this natural cycle, yes. He might make the peak higher or last longe,; but with natural cycles, they will happen. Man is like an old cartoon, an ant floating down a river on a left screaming raise the drawbridge.
