EVO-105 Self Propelled 105mm howitzer

maybe Malaysia can start by this since we got many 105mm gun and HICOM 5 tan trucks  smile.gif

Just the fire control and communication system mayb need outside purchase

meh,one of the reasons why people go for 105s is because it can be man handled.if vehicle based baik go all out for larger guns

So not all AV8 are amphibious due to different weight? hahaha that's ridiculous design flaw right there laugh.gif

naw man.for an IFV to be amphibious it needs to sacrifice a lot of things.Armour,carrying capacity,the exhaust,electronics,firepower

making it less of a vehicle at a higher price.

Strange if FNSS and Deftech haven't factored it all during design phase. Lack of amphibious ability in some variants still seems like a significant handicap for the AV8 to me. 

AFAIK all AV8 hulls are by default amphibious, but some variants can cause the ability to be removed? sounds like design oversight to me.
*
the base hull is amphibious but it is a modular design.the add-on armour packages will make it too heavy to float

so why not just remove the propellers on the versions that will be used to escort tanks?can get heavier armour and more powahh

If not amphibious 1 bridge over river destroyed=all apc useless

Malaysian IFVs work in mixed battle groups

the Adnan/KIFV is amphib. and so is versions of the av8.they can secure the bridgehead and the more armoured AV8 would proceed with the attack

a single vehicle cannot be used for all roles,for example the Bradley.a recce vehicle too big and slow,a transporter that couldn't carry a full section and a hunter that didn't have enough room to store ammo

Is this original version or recon variant? Too plain-looking for me. I was expecting some sort of opto-electronic gear like IR unit or long range cameras in a recon unit.
*
Its for old school recce.the american way of recon.probe,draw fire and run.

So many variants for one platform, av8 12-variants seems so few ady

But I belip av8 also got potential, we ady got the platform
*
that's the point of the AV8,it has the potential to be more so in the next 5-10 years if army planners want a ground vehicle they can use the AV8 as a base design.no need for retooling and an already familiar design
