More from rabbi-tom
This Soviet made BMP-1 was issued to the Iraqi's sometime in the late 70s and was found abandoned outside Kuwait City in 1991 and brought back as a war trophy.
The 'Bimp' was armed with a 73 MM smoothbore cannon and could use a sagger AT-3 anti-tank rocket fire from a launch rail above the base of the main gun.
A personnel carrier with amphibious capability, carried 8 men and a crew of 3, lightly armored and easily knocked out by a .50 caliber machine gun from the sides.
This vehicle is at Rock Island Arsenal

A-10s vs armor in general are generally a sad sight. I recall in GW1, an A-10 was loaded with practice rounds instead of the AP rounds....the sheer weight of volume against a few T-72s/62 literally sheered off the turrets and against a 62...caved in the turret!
They made two versions of all their equipment. Crap versions that they sold to anyone, and good versions they kept for themselves. The export versions generally lacked all but the most basic equipment, had cheap low performance engines, and the cheapest armor they could find. The difference between an export BMP-1 and a Soviet BMP-1 can be pretty damn huge.
I believe most countries that export weapons employ the same scheme though, so nothing odd about that.
