Incidents like that make a strong case for the active defence systems the IDF are using in my opinion.

This morning, I googled RPG-29 and found myself going off on a tangent. I became interested in the Russian Ratnik program. It was the attempt to improve their military equipment.

The first thing I noticed was the BMP-4's improvements. The most obvious was the addition of what appears a long barreled gun along side the main gun. This would make it's bite worse than the BMP-1&2s were! Does anyone have any additional data on this battle buggy?

Next was the AK-12 rifle in 5.56x39 caliber. It looks like a move toward the M-4/M-16 theory of light ammo size.

It's a 100mm cannon that doubles up as a launcher for ATGM.

It's not an ATGM launcher...google BMP-4 and look at the smaller barrel next to the main gun.

I thought that was the one you meant. The other barrel is the 30mm that was on it originally. The 100mm is the one that has been added.
