Los,
     I am the first to admit that I am not up on the modern armor
capabilities.	However, I think that the BMP-3 only mounts a 30MM
auto cannon as its main weapon.   If the ATGM capability exists,
it exists in the same form as on the BMP-2 (75MM gun, I think),
as a launching rail atop the main gun.	 (Yes, getting out to fit 
another missile in a combat situation will be very hazardous to 
ones health, but thats why armored infantry get the extra pay and 
'elite' status.)

Bye for now,
