The rear-engined design precludes doors at the back of the vehicle, so access is via a two-piece hatch at the front next to the driver&#8217;s station. There are also two hatches at the rear of the superstructure for emergency exit over the engine deck or for use as firing ports. The position of the hatch means that the BMP-BM needs to be carefully positioned by the driver before exiting under fire.<\/p>\n<p>The BMP-BM has a crew of two &#8211; a driver who sits at the front right of the vehicle, and a commander seated directly behind him. Armament consists of two tri-barrel 3cm autocannon in a turret controlled remotely by the commander.<\/p>\n<p>Today we&#8217;re releasing the 6mm BMP-BM &#8211; the 15mm one will arrive next week, although I will have some on the stand at <a href=\"http:\/\/nrwc.org.uk\/colours-2017\">Colours<\/a> tomorrow if you want to get in early. The release also includes a Guards Infantry Company with eight BMP-BM, a Lisa command vehicle and 48 infantry.
