FNSS 8x8 Pars



In service with the Malaysian Army....

The Brazilians are putting into service the VBTP-MR.  The Russians have the BTR-82A, the Chinese are putting into service several different vehicles.  The Poles have the Patria AMV, the Italians the IVECO Super AV, the US Army has the Stryker, the future AMPV and they're upgrading the Bradley.

Meanwhile the USMC is operating the AAV.

40 + years old.

IED vulnerable.

Antiquated weapon system.

No replacement in sight (realistically speaking).

But we do have expensive airplanes and helicopters!  We need an Assistant Commandant for the Ground Combat Element.

  3. I would move out of this picture the BTR-82A, it's only updated BTR-80 with almost all it's pretty strong weaknesses. But Russians work on Bumerang family and it's look like modern design.
