A [[Soviet]] motorised rifle company could be mounted in either [[BTR (vehicle)|BTR]] [[armoured personnel carrier]]s or [[Boyevaya Mashina Pekhoty|BMP]] [[infantry fighting vehicle]]s, with the former being more numerous into the late 1980s. A BTR rifle company consisted of a company headquarters, three motorised rifle [[platoon]]s and a machine gun/antitank platoon equipped with three<!--As per FM 100-2-3--> [[PK machine gun]]s and three [[AT-7 Saxhorn]] launchers for a total of 110 personnel and 12 BTRs. A BMP rifle company had the same number of personnel and carriers and consisted of a company headquarters, three motorised rifle platoons and a machine gun platoon equipped with six [[RPK-74]]s. While seemingly containing less firepower, US commanders were advised to include the BMP's heavier weaponry in their calculations.<ref>US Army, ''FM 100-2-3 The Soviet Army: Troops, Organization and Equipment'', 4–26</ref>
