The guys on the left and right of the driver in both cases fire the weapons you're asking about. Here's some pics:
I believe that all monuments build in memory of WWII herous are touching everyone of us. Too expensive price has been payed for we could easily forgive againt who did these people fought. It has been build for our grands (thanks God my grandmom born in 1922 is still alive) for their given highest price and sacrifice of millions of lifes layed down for the future of humanity and us. While seeing such an act of vandalism can you imagine feelings of vets of WWII, who were ancientors of you and me, brits, americans, french, russians etc. and gave everything they had and even more for the Day of Sacret Victory. What a shame!Today pro US georgian leader ordered to blowup WWII ally soldiers devoted monument. It's your pet, pals, make him behave.

In the case of BMPT their only function is to fire their AGS-17. You must understand BMPT is supposed to provide cover for tanks in urban environments and will probably have to engage multiple targets in different positions at the same time. Having those two extra crew members will mean that BMPT can engage targets to the front, while the turret gunner is engaging targets to the side or rear.
In the case of BMP-3, the two guys on the sides of the driver are members of the infantry squad that is carried by the vehicle, not the BMP-3 crew. They are there to provide covering fire for the rest of the squad as it dismounts, then they will join the squad when it's in position.
PS. Gotta love those sideview mirrors.
aha, thx !

Those mirros would be the first casualties of BMPT entering the cities and smashing through obstacles
Don't know the exact numbers, but judging by the picture +/- 30 degrees vertical and +/- 50-60 degrees horizontal. I could be totally wrong though.What are rotating angles of AGS-17 mounted on BMPT?

any info how much BMPT's russia now operates? i readed 1 year ago it was about 40... any info for today
Ummm, as far as I know it is still in the process of passing state trials and hasnt been accepted into service.
I don't know where did you get this information but afaik there is NO such vehicles at current service. So take it easy.
Also take a look at BPM-97 trials for the some possible arab purchaser. (If someone will translate what he speaks about - will be much appreciated). BPM-97 is an Armored Vehicle of Border Guard (it could be, but it is not because of the default of 1998).

They are several, maybe 4, not 40. It passed state trials and a few are ordered in 2010
Thanks for that info....I was certain I read that more than 40 (not sure the exact number) were ordered but delivery will be over several years.
well... wikipedia in russian says that more then 40 were build, and that data is already over a year old
