The Mi-17 is a good option too. It doesn't have the speed performance of the V-22 Osprey but can carry the same number of troops and be used for airborne operations. It also has better armaments. The BMP-3 falls into the same category as the Israeli Namer or the American Bradley. It cannot lift 17 troops in one hall; meaning we cannot put a full squad on one vehicle. We would need 8 vehicles per platoon. That is excessive. That would be 26 vehicles per company.
