"The Bradley was designed to 'outdo' the BMP-1, but its designers didn't
realise what the BMP-1 design mission requirements were."

The mission of the BMP-1 was to provide mobility for infantry so they
could keep pace with the armored elements and to provide supporting
direct fire and anti-armor capability to those infantry.

The mission of the Bradely is to provide mobility for infantry so they
can keep pace with the armor and to provide supporting direct fire and
anti-armor capability to those infantry.

I am not seeing a failure here particularly in light of the successes in
actually killing T-55 and T-72 tanks with 25mm rounds.

So just what do you think the BMP-1's mission was?
