well depend on doctrine for apc.
Some treat it as low cost disposable battle taxi but it only apply on those whose have large quantities of infantry.
some prefer high qualities of apc and ifv to provide valuable fire support, intel, scouts, anti tank, anti air and protection for its infantry.
lots of country going toward quality values
AV8 is supposed to be backbone for the 'future' malaysian army.the condor is old as shit but still workable
why would the MA buy something that would be obsolete once its on the ground?the AV-8 is going to be the main vehicle for the next 30-40 years
the Anoa was developed out of desperation.they needed an APC that could be made quick and cheap,doesnt care if its shit
can something like the anoa provide a cheap solution to the condor?yes for the immediate future.is it any better than the condor?no
TNI wants to establish more motorized units,thus it can be understandable for them to use the Anoa.the MA is trying to move forward to a new phase of fighting capability,the cheap Anoa is not what they need
btw,as a vehicle commander the notion that IFVs are disposable is
