25 mm cannons too heavy that is why the are carried by Aircrafts,Frigates and Destroyers not a lightweight Russian ICV...That there should a 30mm auto cannon 2A72..Standard Russian muscle.

I agree they are heavy. However It isn't uncommon to see Cannons mounted on pick-up trucks. They are used by the camerounians, Niger, and of course the libyans popularised it, but the Chadians first used them in the toyota wars against the libyan army.

I just didn't think the N.A would mount AA's on APC's.

That is the beauty of a BMP because it combines the properties of an APC with a light fast attack battle tank allowing troops to operate from a relatively safe armoured envirionment,increase infantry squad mobilty,provide suppression fire suoport and in plusher circumstances fight alongs side main tanks......BH's technicals are mostly standard 73 mm and they are mere tissue paper compared to our Russians..

the civilian JTF do mop up and pick up wounded enemy and stragglers.
they are the reason you see enemy KIA without "trousers".
they are not frontline shock troops.
