    It’s quite a decent MCI for the movement of personnel to the place of hostilities .. A turret with internal control gives it a certain combat look .. But it is not practical to use it during combat operations .. RPG-7 flashes through and through .. Suitable for use against terrorists who do not anti-tank facilities

        MRAP is not an armored personnel carrier, nor an BMP .. It is an armored truck created against the actions of partisan detachments in Africa .. It is necessary to ensure the safety of personnel from mine traps during transportation, and not for fighting ..

        And even better - with "Typhoon-VDV" - these are just machines of the ONE class (both in weight and in the number of axles). "Tiger" is a lighter class car (7 tons versus 14 tons).

            In the Sukchen and Sunchon districts, very good conditions for the deployment of forces to the regiment of the Airborne Forces in the rear, followed by a march and combat deployment at well-known frontiers. crossings across the Amur River and along the convoy transport routes of the PLA.

    South African Marauder is very severe and brutal ..
    He has modifications for the infantry, ambulance and command center.
    He is able to carry an explosion of 14 kg of TNT under the wheels and 7 kg under the body, which makes him one of the most protected vehicles in the world.
    Cruising range can be increased by 500 km due to the installation of additional tanks.
    A marauder is able to overcome a ford at a depth of half its height.
    Comfort inside the car provides a climate control system.
    The machine is capable of pulling a trailer weighing 18 tons.

      Well, why do you call him "Predator" - "marauder" ?! Marauder is more correctly translated as "predator" (this word has several meanings in English: raptor; predator; marauder). And the Russian "marauder" comes from the French maraudingur - a robber. By the way, in English "marauder" usually sounds like plunger or looter. It's just that this is some kind of illiterate "Vasya" in Wikipedia, scolded ..... But that's all, so - "philology" .....

                    And WHY to make a Yuarovsky on the units of the "Ural" when there ALREADY a ready-made "Ural" ("Typhoon-U"), which is no worse than the South African (by the way and the American "Cougar" - too!)? Just so that there was something to do?
                    Well, I understand - the Yuarists riveted "from what was" ("at hand"). And for the units of the "Ural" - to go far ("overseas a heifer - for" half ", but the ruble must be paid for transportation").
