Could you be a dear and list prices of M2Bradley and Puma. Production costs, not export prices. It would be easier for readers to understand that way instead of chewing me out.

Well as far as I know the current price of m2a2 is approximately $3,166,000 (from wikipedia, not verified)
and Puma costs nearly 7million euros = $9.5million currently(Not kidding)

I must let you now that i didn't mean to be disrespectful.

I must let you now that i didn't mean to be disrespectful.

I was joking bud, I know you did not mean it that way. I'm sorry if it felt as if I was complaining. It was unintentional.

Next step should be to compare major electronics each of these 3 particular ifv's have and do not have.

P.S Also please put your flags of country of origin and present location in your options.

Rear ramp opened
The K21 is able to carry a total of 9 passengers and 3 more vehicle crew members.

BMS of passenger compartment
With the Battle Management System, the vehicle crew and passengers inside the vehicle can be instantly notified about the environment around them, improving their situational awareness. A 15-inch screen is installed inside the passenger compartment, which provides various data from the BMS. The vehicle is mounted with an external CCD camera, and the passengers inside can survey the environment using the same screen.

Installed fuel tank.
It is no surprised that the K-21 has a fuel tank of self-sealing ability

right next to it you'll find a ready rack of 40mm cannon

SAMSUNG THALES is a manufacturer of FCS components and sensors for K-21

Thanks to its Battle Management System(C4I) K21 is capable of Network Centric Warfare(NCW) which is essential to the modern battlefield.

(from what i've heard, it would be a same level as FBCB)

Yet another single most significantly distinguishable feature of K-21 would be its automated 40mm gun loading system.

The cartridge is divided into 3 sections and each of the sections is consists of different rounds (HE-T, APFSDS-T, MMFA)
Which could be loaded up to a total quantity of 24 rounds (3x8)

This provides an adequate fire consistency for the IFV.

and the whole process of this could be taken place within just 7 secs. Quite reliable

Watch from 4:56

+
if it's needed(or having troubles) you could just load it up manually.

AAV concept for the K21

I don't know why but the army rejected this propositon unfortunately

It's so upsetting to know how stupid they're enough to make another of those K-30s(비호)
