The number of landing positions is the same, though.
We probably need some netizens to try to 3d model her to compare dimensions.

Tests of the Russian robotic BMP-3 have begun. This is not a robot, the vehicle moves without a driver and gunner, the combat vehicle is controlled remotely by operators. This was done with the help of the Sinitsa combat module installed on the vehicle. Using the module, you can view the area 360 degrees, regardless of the time of day.
Rare footage has been published of the launch and landing of the Russian Orlan-10 UAV on the Project 11356R frigate Admiral Essen of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The drone from the ship is launched with a catapult, and landing is carried out on the grid on the ship.

SAU 2S3 "Acacia" was put into service in 1971 and proved to be excellent in military conflicts. Despite its age, the self-propelled guns are still in service with the Russian army. The 2S3 self-propelled guns are equipped with a 152-mm caliber gun and have a rate of fire of up to 4 rounds per minute, the self-propelled guns have 46 rounds of ammunition. Thermal firing limits: 30 rounds per 10 min or 75 rounds per hour. Firing range up to 24 km. The crew of the self-propelled guns is 4 people. Range up to 500 km, road speed 60 km/h.
At the Army-2022 military equipment forum, a new Russian K-17 infantry fighting vehicle on the Boomerang platform was shown. The infantry fighting vehicle K-17 carried out training firing at targets from all types of weapons installed on it, except for the AG-17 grenade launcher. In particular, the fire was fired from 7.62 mm. machine gun PKTM, ATGM "Kornet" and 30-mm. automatic gun 2A42. In this version, the Berezhok combat module is installed on the BMP. The crew of the infantry fighting vehicle is three people, the vehicle is capable of carrying 8 troops. The BMP has many electronic systems that facilitate the work of the crew. Booking BMP multi-layered with ceramic content. YaMZ-780 engine, 750 hp allows you to accelerate on the highway to 100 to 100 km / h. The declared power reserve is up to 800 km.
There are optical sensors all around the this robot，how can you operate it normally it you covered all the sensor with fabric？

Despite all new vehicles shown it seems that Russia is beginning to produce older BMP's instead of BMP-3's. Maybe cost and the fact that BMP-3 has been proven to be a death trap.
Maintenance is probably easier and they have stockpiles of spare parts could be the reason why. In any case, old types have probably no foreign parts.
Sometimes you are returning to older types, even with f-22 and f-35, the US still buy new f-15...

and i wonder how BMP-2 to be any less "death trap" than BMP-3's. Both types store munitions in practically the same space as the men it carries.
BMP-3 chassis also served already in several types of Russian vehicles e.g Khrizantema ATGM carriers and of course exports for parts.
The main constraint for the BMP family is the fact they were set to be amphibious, means they have to have low density. Thus large volume and being light at same time. This constraining their protection scheme. (46% of an IFV is the Armor) and for BMD.. they have to be air droppable which constraint weight even more due to limits of parachutes, IL-76 and rocket retarder.
I would take that TASS news with grain of salt.

BMP-3's combat load is up to 50(?) high explosive shells, stored vertically btw so those shells are more likely to get hit, and detonation is likely as we've seen many times in Ukraine, but vehicle with only 30mm rounds is less likely to suffer from such catastrophic explosion.
Eh you forget that BMP-2 also bring Konkurs ATGM with it.
Where do you think the spare missiles are stored.
