"Armed with a powerful 100 mm gun and backed up by a 30 mm cannon with a coaxial 7.62 machine gun, the BMP-3 is a less expensive answer to the Bradley. Russia has consistently upgraded the firepower and maneuverability to match the systems of the West. It can also fire ATGWs and is fitted with NBC and outdated night vision equipment. Capable of road speeds up to 70 km per hour the BMP-3 is as swift as other armored personnel carriers and it does pack a punch."
