I mean reverse engineering a BTR-80 sort of APC (if possible) may find some market.

good or not, it depends on the battlefield enviroment. But Russian still use BTR-80/90. very low in height. Vulnerable to ambush but they have other device to detect the enemy and aviod ambush.

So whats the reason for russia developing the Boomerang AFV,if its not due to the vulnerabilities of BTR-80 in today conflicts !

Somalia general killed by al-Shabab suicide car bomber

A Somali general and at least six of his bodyguards have been killed by a suicide car bomber, police say.
The attacker rammed a car carrying explosives into General Mohamed Jimale Goobale's convoy near the defence ministry headquarters in Mogadishu, Somalia's capital.
Al-Shabab claimed the attack and accused the general of plotting against them.
He had survived several previous assassination attempts.

I am not saying BTR-80 is not vulnerable. I am just saying it still has some.usage eg : low level threat

"Escorted by the legendary Rooivalk combat helicopter, Carte Blanche travels to a recently-captured military camp deep in the tropical forests north of Beni, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. John Webb gains exclusive access to the SANDF’s forward-operating bases in the infamous Triangle of Death in North Kivu province as we visit our soldiers on the frontline in the battle against ADF rebels. We find soldiers who have distinguished themselves both in the field of battle as well as in crucial."

Charismatic leader.
Strange that both him and his boss. The guys who were critical in defeating M23(which was said to be supported by some neighbouring nations) are now gone.

LOL, China does not have war for more than 30 years.WZ551 was designed in1980-90s, after the China-Vietnam border clashes.WZ551 has little battle experience in China,maybe has in other place of the world. BTR-80 is lower in height it was designed under the soviet doctrines" lower is safer".and in Russia or Eastern Europe flat plain or grassland.This could not be too wrong.And easy to embark or disembark .troops can sit on the top.easy to jump up and down.

however a higher vheicle also has it's advantage,especially for the gunner it can see farther ,more internal space etc.

which is better deponds on the user's enviroment.

Just incase people start wondering if the SAAF actually has black pilots . Display pilots at events like AAD will obviously have the most experience, hence the guys who crossed over from flying Cheetahs (mostly white). But the behind the scenes/everyday pilot numbers fast jet/heli/transport are looking more like this....

Henry240:


You are the one wondering, we aren't.

So you speak for everyone on here? Even people who might have started following this thread for a week? I put that smiley face as an indication that its a friendly comment. Maybe your comment might have held water if i was a SAAF "follower" posting from Haiti or something. Don't make your bad day ours.
