Issue should now be resolved. The BMP-2M differs from previous mods for the following...
1. Multiple sights and first with TI vs. IR in previous mods. This is why ref. 1 notes a new power pack mounted to support new FCS power requirements and other features to include AC for
electronics and people.
2. This mod is the only one to have the 9M133-1 KORNET-E AT-14
3rd Gen ATGM. See ref. 1 for 2nd Gen ATGM ones used on earlier mods.
3. In lieu of ATGM can have AG-17 mounted on the Port Side for Infantry support. See pics in ref. 4. Might mean adding a new UNIT?
4. Armor upgrade package available. Improved firing efficiency of 30mm main gun.
These are the main issues. See ref. 4 the manufactuers site, should link to the BMP-2 Modernization link then click on links on the left for FCS Specs etc. India has finalized a deal to upgrade their BMP-2 fleet to this standard as has I believe both Malaysia and Indonesia but, that's for another time and not this year from me anyway.

And I agree the BOOMERANG for now anyway looks like the "new" PARS/HAVOC (USMC testing if keeping up.) 8x8.
I'm off to bed.
