Kinda makes sense. It also explains the push to 40mm cannons and in the case of the US Army to 50mm (with Russia going to 57mm...don't know what China is doing).K21 Redback has protection exceeding the highest standard Level 6 of STANAG 4569 and has an Active Protection System - Iron Fist , and transparent armor Iron Vision.

Is there an armor rating that goes beyond level 6? If not then we're gonna need one.
Tried to do a quick search of "STANAG" and didn't find standardization for MEDIUM armored vehicles. Considering the advancement in vehicle weights I think they're behind the times in this one.
I would imagine that the Lynx meets this standard and hopefully so will the new ride the US Army is buying. I know the Israelis are exceeding this standard though I'm not sure if other IFV/APCs in use by NATO do.
If you can fill in the blanks I'd appreciate it.
