Fixes for the iraqi OOB

[DRG]

If you want to know what the "standard" will be for units of Russian origin look at the Russian OOB. When it conflicts with other nations I change the other nations with very few exceptions ( I have already corrected a couple of minor inconsistencies in the Russian OOB this year but these were all fixed a couple years back within the limitations of the game code )

If you want to debate those values I can point you to the Russians who provided the information and you can debate the issue with them and get back to me then I'll decide if it's worthwhile.

In some cases those vehicles carry a specialist unit, in others it's a couple of scout sections that cannot be reduced to 5 from 6 men and in the end it really all matters about this . .....||.... . much at the end of a battle.

....however, in this case I will review the issue again when I get to it but as I already noted in another thread there is little chance now that every "error" report issued in this latest feeding frenzy will be addressed this time around.

To make it clear: only BMD issue concerns the Russian oob directly.
As for BMP, I can only guess, that not all the vehicle's capacity (2+9) was actually used, as it was in case of Poland and Czechoslovakia, but it was only for information. Moreover, I have a sketch of East German usage in a book, which shows 9 men only seated in BMP ("als Fahrzeug der mot. Schuetzengruppe" - I don't know German terminology well).

As a point of interest, I attach cross-sections of BMD-1.

Unit 551 BM-14 SP has a picture of BM-21 - proper is 29336 or 65362.
