Given that most of the T2k timelines eliminate or tone down the Peace Dividend drawdowns, BMP-55 seems a likely candidate for at least partial-scale production and, therefore, would have made an appearance on the battlefields of the Twilight War. Dang, it's kind of a looker.

Damn, that's a sweet looking IFV. At first, I thought "what kind of weird Marder variant is that? It looks so huge and got no turret." Then my gaze hit the suspension and roadwheeles and I was like "What abomination is that?"
