Countermeasures

The hull and turret are made of aluminium, with the front being provided with a layer of spaced armour. Over the frontal 60 degree arc, the vehicle is protected against 30 mm armour-piercing rounds of 2A42 gun at a range of 300 m. In an effort to improve battlefield survivability, the fuel tanks are also located in the floor of the vehicle.

The BMP-3 can lay its own smoke screen by injecting fuel into the exhaust.[14][15] A chemical agent detector, an FVU filtration system, an automatic fire extinguisher and six 902V "Tucha-2" 81mm smoke grenade launchers are standard.

An explosive reactive armour kit is currently available, providing increased protection. However, using ERA on an IFV is considered problematic by some experts, since in the event of the malfunction of the ERA, it can possibly pose a threat to friendly troops located in the vicinity of the vehicle.[16]

The BMP-3 also has the ability to carry a Shtora electro-optical jammer that disrupts semiautomatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) antitank guided missiles, laser rangefinders and target designators. Shtora is a soft-kill, or passive-countermeasure system.

More than likely the Russians made a presentation and they announce that the AFP is interested, As per MBLT, the AFP evaluated and rejected it because it did not conform to how the AFP intended to fight. That's why they're buying AAV's from the Koreans instead,besides the Marines still have that LAV-300 that can do the same thing maybe upgrade it to LAV-600 instead.

The downside of it's is: Higher speed, agile, but low fire power.
