OK, thanks. We don't have the BMMP. I'll look into that ( typically, more complications other sites call that the BMP-3F )

Ah, figured it out..... the BMMP has the BMP-2 turret and the 3F uses the standard BMP-3 turret but it's not clear if this actually made it to troops. The phrasing " has been developed" seems to suggest not as yet

This JANES's Ref contradicts the other sources on Russian use. But verifies the type is new and Indonesia apparently is the only user. They did recieve the further units noted here as well. If it's JANE's I'd almost would tend to hold off on Russian use though it's 1 against 4 or 5.
