Re: Paratroops Question
AFAIK Russians have tested dropping BMD's with crews in, but due to extreme risk they've decided to limit it only to commander and driver and IIRC later on they've abandoned the practise completely.
IIRC one of the main reasons - after the overall risk - was very bad psychical state of crew during the drop in the vehicle, as they were closed for a long time inside that small metal coffin, with all periscopes covered by bags with parachutes, and they were just waiting until they'll be thrown out of the plane. Not too comforting feeling I'd guess.
