Interesting idea. Any update on this?

Re: New Greek Fire support vehicle
Just conducted an active search for any BMP-1 modernization efforts and the result is the following that I had already put into my APC folder that I don't think was posted in the APC Thread since this a " Tracking" issue with no orders placed since this was released in May.

Re: New Greek Fire support vehicle
I'm not sure but it seems these vehicles represent two different efforts. The Ukrainian and the Greek BMP-1 do just seem like different vehicles.
In the Greek BMP I don't see the raised rear section that is prominent on the Ukrainian vehicle. The turrets appear different as well.
If I were to purchase one or the other design, I'd favor the Ukrainian version.

Well, they do have way different turrets, to say the least. I don't know about the Ukrainian, but the Greek version appears to be a budget solution, all things considered.
