@Ruskarkand: It would probably be more effective if you nixed the two MGs and gave it a proper turret with a decent weapon. Something like a 30mm autocannon, or a few missile tubes capable of firing ATGMs.

We use the LY219 Ironheart APC. It has proven well in combat. We also use the RL TPz Fuschs APC. It has also proven well. The combination of APCs are what keeps Eastern Deralia feared.

Mm, The M-113 APC has been in use since the Viet Mai War, we don't intend to replace it any time soon either.

IFV wise,

The Bradley Infantry-Fighting-Vehicle and though it's not technically an IFV and more so a gunplatform, the Strkyer is around as well.

BMP-3 - it is a standard IFV of SovArms Armed Forces - with 1000 BMP-3's in service, 600 on order.

Image
This APC, build on Merkava chassis is used particularly extensively in MOUT combat. 700 in service, 250 in order.

We wanted to buy the BMPT - we thought it was an interesting concept, but the program was cancelled this year so we bought Namers instead.
