It not a tank, it an armor fighting vehicle. Troops carrier with light armour and I dunno 105mm main gun? It still way better than saf bionix infantry fighting vehicle. Saf BX only 3km/hr in water, so if meet a 3km/hr current, it basically hentakaki. BX main body is under the waterline, with only some canvas and scaffolding preventing the water from overwhelming the BX. The VC suppose to stand on a temporary platform at the front of the BX peeping over the canvas to guide the driver. The VC will be expose to small arms fire during the crossing, a couple of 7.62 rounds can either kill the VC or cause the canvas aka floatation device to collapse.
Who the fark in DSTA think hmm... it a great idea and implemented a confirm die floatation kit? I had a frightening experience night crossing in 80m wide still water reservoir in LCK. No way and nobody can make me do it again.
Many here like to see Chicom no up but their equipments only no combat experience whereas America are old stuff. The USMC EFV was scrapped due to no money.
Anyway Chicom equipments 是骡是马, 要拿出来溜溜才知道好不好。
