Good to know, will look it up.
It just doesn't fit. Mechanised infantry usually use either soft skinned vehicles (J-8, Humvee etc.) with wire guided anti tank missiles attached to it or APC's with the same, we certainly have not seen any indication or move to induct LAVs with large caliber guns or LAVs for that matter, I think there is only one type in service, the BMR-600.
That must have not been a successful procurement since there was no repeat or move towards inducting other types or any indication of doing so, instead we are starting to see MRAPs pop up and talk of MRAVs being inducted. I'm pretty sure they will stick to IFVs or soft skinned vehicles carrying anti tank missiles than shifting towards dedicated anti tank platforms.
There is a growing move away from MBTs towards LAVs with large caliber guns, however, I still think MBTs will be absolutlely necessary in the future, its role has always been questioned (the tank that is) after every major conflict, however, it always seems to find a way to reassert itself.
Modularity brother, if that is even a word lol. Imagine a common platform (vehicle) that can replace all of those you mentioned above! How much that will save in coast and maintenance! It is possible and that is the future! I'm talking about a broader doctrine here. I have a question for you, are u based in Egypt or outside? If you don't mind me asking

plus Egypt has over 250 BMR-600s if I remember correctly, I think those are more than enough and they must have been very useful to Egypt otherwise they won't have bought so many!!
