| #4 Way before my time. M-113s were the main APC when I was served. |

| #3 You can see two open hatches in the rear. That is Soviet design. US designs have a ramp w/ one oval escape hatch. The size and square shape of the 2 rear doors suggest a variant of an up-gunned MTLB. |

| #2 The back "hatch" doesn't match well with a Bradley. Don't know for sure as I wasn't an 11M (mechanized infantry), but it doesn't fit perfectly with the ones I have seen. Very well might be, but I lean on the "no" side currently. Bradley's are really awesome IFV, but they aren't invulnerable. A RPG to the side or ass will still kill one. That is why they have infantry to clear out areas before they move in and they can support that with their Bushmaster. |

| #1 Quotes from the author of the actual article: "No matter how loud and long they cry... I count two visible road wheels to the rear, and the return roller at the absolute rear... side skirt/glacis, as well as a turret in the proper distance/spacing for a Brad. Rear Troop Hatch popped open as well: Even has the sponson boxes on either side of the Troop door." The videos are poor and blurred, but his assessment seems reasonable. F3 confidence |
