Wah-Lao......You all really don't know this, is it?
Now our army's style is for every Bionix 25, there is one Bionix
40/50. I thought this already very clear by now, and no big secret
either.
I don't know how they structure the thing but every armour unit has
SM1, Bionix 25, Bionix 40/50, mix mix lah.
Even the Ang-mohs also know this already. The Military Balance
(from IISS) states that we have 250 bionix 25, and 250 bionix
40/50.
And concerning Israel, the thing about IFV and APC. Well originally
the idea was that APC just drive the troopers to a location then
come out and fight. But for IFV, supposed to fight from WITHIN the
vehicle.
Anyway all that was nonsense as the Westerners realised it's a
stupid idea, so nowadays new IFVs don't have firing ports anymore.
So IFVs still used like APC, troopers must debus to fight.
But of course, by now the difference is that IFV have more
firepower and more armour protection.
And Israelis have APCs that are even heavier than IFV, so better
protection. DOn't need IFV.
