Aloha everyone!!

Could someone clarify this for me. In my current batch of Concord books depicting joint exercises between former Warsaw Pact nations and Western nations (IE: Poland, Hungary) I only see the BMP-1 being used. My question is, is this due to the fact that the BMP-2 never went into full production for these "satelite" countries before the end of the Cold War? I thought the BMP-2 was sold in large numbers to other Warsaw Pact nations, so I'm a little mystified.

Thank You in Advance!!

Do you mean the Concord title "Arsenal for agression"? (It's clearer if you add the title of the book you mean.)
It does feature non USSR BMP-2's.
