To descriptions to BMP-1 and BMP-2 - it is written that them armour can to protect them about splinters of shells, bullets and small-caliber shells autocannons. I think that it fairly for front and side armour - though is not assured.
Then why were appliquè kits for the side armor issued in Afghanistan? It was vulnerable to HMG fire on the sides, that's why. Remember that it was supposed to float as well so trade offs in the armor schemes had to be made somewhere.
