Absolutely mint. Despite the name, it's a new design rather than a build on from the previous Lynx KF38. Currently in bidding to replace current IFVs in Australia, Czech Republic and the United States.

>bidding to replace current IFVs in Czech Republic
nah, we're getting ASCODs
the trials are just something for army to do while lobbyists and politicians are busy planning out their new mansions
Daniel Barnes
That coaxial.
Mason Thompson
If it wins, what it will be replacing in Australia.
Jonathan Smith
What is so good about it in general?
Kevin Ortiz
Ryan Perry
Looks like they are copying Chinese.
Luke Bell
It looks decent enough but nothing stands out as revolutionary or new, its just a conservative evolution of NATO IFVs. It occupies an odd weight and protection level as well, it can't withstand a T-55 or older ATGMs but weighs as much as a T-72.
Parker Richardson
It looks like a taller CV90.
Exactly what makes it better then say a CV9035 Mk IV?
Aiden Evans
Who else is competing for Land 400?
Carson Wood
What in your opinion would be "revolutionary" instead of conservative evolution.
Also, damn, up to 50 tons at this point you might as well make IFV out of tank hull
Robert James
its german
David Murphy
Does it use CLARA and AMAP-ADS?
Lincoln Evans
Lynx is refubrished Marder.
Isaac Thompson
I assume different operational requirements. Same way a Bradley and CV90 are different since Bradleys were intended to support and shadow Abrams while CV90 is basically a fire support vehicle for infantry incase another IFV/APC shows up.
But there's no fucking point in these. Just fucking retrofit a bunch of M1A1 Abrams with diesel drivetrains, a Bradley turret and figure out how to have a troop compartment.
Or buy Merkavas.
It's just too heavy for what it is.
Cameron Anderson
The 38 is.

>50 tons IFV
Why? Those slap some cage armor or ERA on a 30 tons IFV.
Jaxson Gomez
APS for every fighting vehicle would be revolutionary.
Jacob Butler
>it can't withstand a T-55 or older ATGMs
Any proof on that?
Blake Campbell
If the customer wants it, yes.
Dylan Reyes
>Any proof on that?
It's in the advertisements, protection against autocannons only. There's plenty of pictures of the armor as well, it has 30mm or 40mm at best. It just occupies a very awkward weight range, heavier than bradleys or BMP-3 but too heavy to swim or easily be transported. Despite it's weight protection is likely well behind namer and t-15. It's ideal use is probably fighting insurgents with RPG-7s and zsu-23 technicals, it's largely immune to those unlike older IFVs, but against a proper military it seems questionable.
Samuel Phillips
How does it compare to the Puma?
Parker Clark
Why is it not mandatory at this point? I am pretty sure that both Russia and Ukraine out of all countries have plans to install their versions of ADS on IFV
Joshua Miller
Because its fucking expensive and most opponents only have a few ATGMs per battalion even to this day
Levi Long
Really shouldn't have gone with the smooth sided cheap movie prop look.
Liam Gray
Its passenger compartment was designed for people taller than 6 foot (184cm).
