Although not a BMP per se, one might be able to use this hover vehicle as inspiration for a BMP development:

Meet Vladimir Levkov and his incredible impossible invasion machines.





These pics are obviously of a 1950's B movie prop vehicle. I'm sure it's crewed by men and women in silver "space suits", with the women's suits especially tight fitting.

They don't seem to get the concept that you need to keep the doors shut to keep the hull watertight.

Interesting to see mention of the West German origins - Blohm+Voss with Clouth Gummiwerke - of this composite perforated armour plate approach. I'm guessing that this RWS is a development of Progress' KBA-105ТB Shkval-А station.
