When I was in the US Army, the Bradley had not yet come on line, we still had M-113s. The BMP-1 was still a big deal, and the firing ports for the infantry was considered a really big deal; designed to be used while buttoned up in a nuclear environment. As it turned out, the firing ports turned out to be somewhat useless overall. A post-Soviet documentary on the BMP series gave a pretty good account of the development and deployment of them; they were considered quite expensive, and initially only one battalion per infantry regiment had them for years. BMP's were designed for the European theater, with river crossing in mind. In armies in Africa, the BMP's have a pretty good reputation. When I was in, we were in awe of the early Marder, it just looked like an IFV should; much better looking than Bradley, or Warrior, or any of the BMP's. Today, the best all-around IFV seems to be the BMP-3.
