BMP-10 Infantry Fighting Vehicle

  The BMP-10 is Russia's standard Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). The original design dates back to the ever famous BMP-1. It had a 73mm cannon, with a top mounted AT-3 Sagger. The BMP-2, more improved, had a better armament package with a 30mmm chaingun and the option to use either the AT-4 or AT-5 ATGMs. The BMP-3, much more costly to operate, featured a 100mm cannon, with a coaxial 30mm, and 7.62mm machine guns. It to had the capability to mount the AT-4 and AT-5 missile systems. The BMP-4, introduced in the early millenium, focused more on protection, with the ability to mount low levels of reactive armor, and improved survivability, and was a direct modification to the BMP-2. The BMP-3, again costly to operate, was relegated to heavier regiments, and consequently was only deployed in limited numbers. The BMP-5, -6, -7, featured improved NBC improvements, engine performance, and better sighting systems. The BMP-8, was modified somewhat to perform airborne operations, and eventually replaced the BMD series of combat vehicles. The BMP-9, was an improvement in engine power and added range. The current version, the BMP-10, is the newer version of the BMP-8. Regardless of most changes, the overall configuration hasn't changed, with a crew of three (driver in front, with the gunner and tank commander in the turret) and the ability to carry a squad into battle. The BMP-10 is fully amphibious, and is NBC equipped. APPS is installed to protect against crashes as well. There is also the ability for mounting ablative armor to improve it's armor protection as well. The carried infantry squad enters and exits through two rear doors, which have firing ports for the standard issue rifles, and they each sit on a bucket seat that has the APPS system installed. The BMP-10 mounts a wide variety of weaponry on the turret. First is the 2A50 rotary autocannon with a coaxial AGS-30 grenade launcher and a coaxial PK medium machine gun. There is a pintle mount for an AT-27 "Spinner" missile and the vehicle carries six reloads for the vehicle. To the right of the AT-27 launcher is a spotlight.
