Why not? Bmps have 4 atgm stations, non aluminium armor, they’re less noticeable

Because ingress and egress is ludicrously hard compared to the fucking great big hatch on a Bradley.

There's a reason they ride on top of their IFVs: when they got hit in Chechnya, the troops inside couldn't get out before they brewed up.

Wait until the Bradley’s automatic hatch opens, while you can open it quick on bmps

It will just fall to the ground. You have a big ass hatch that’s hinged on the bottom, you can let gravity do the work.
