very good, nerotika was looking for somthing like this to add to our new military. We are trying to revise our old APC's and tanks. So do you happen to have a package for sale? If not we will take 20-30 of them, depending on production time and such. How long do you estimate would it take for 20 to go down and be produced? If to long we would like to buy the plans from your company so as to produce them at our own factories.

With the weapon systems that it possesses (25mm Cannon, TOW2 ATGMs and FIM-92 Stinger SAMs) it would not be able to carry a full compliment of ten infantrymen and their equipment. Increased firepower unfortunately has to be balanced with decreased passenger capacity. You need to make room for the turret ring, extra ammunition for the vehicle's weapons and systems such as FCS and thermal viewers.

Other than that, it's a well-designed system and would be a fairly formidable enemy in the field.
