Top 10 Fire Support Vehicles

Sorry to say that but what you write is utterly crap...

Modern tanks with rubber pad endconector tracks used today by almost everyone... do no harm to any road...
Even super heavyweight tanks like Leo2 A7 or CH2 or M1A2 does not have a higher ground preassure per square inch or cm as a standing soldier in full gear...

Wheeled vehicles hava a MUCH higher ground preassur per square inch or cm than tracked vehicles and they are the reason why roads gets destoryed... (if many trucks use it)

Just compare the footprint of a 6 or 8wheeled 30to fire support vehicle with the track footprint of a 60to tank.

Anyway here is the topic of wheeled fire support vehicles.
There is no need to mix things.
 
That's a heavily modified (cut down and rebuilt) T-54/55 turret (100mm cannon) on BTR-60.

Cubans make interesting modifications of armor and combinations of vehicles and turrets e.g.

BTR-60 with PT-76 turret

these two vehicles do not exist, they are just the size and sewing, who has made these photomontage just wanted to see how they could appear, of this I am sure
 
returning to the reality of news and photos; the Cubans have developed a new version of their modernization of the BTR-60 transformed into tank destroyers with the modified T-55 turret and 100mm cannon, in this new version the engine has been moved to the front right of the driver, completely different the armored body of the vehicle, and used the modified turret of the T-62 and its 115mm cannon (which seems to have been shortened).

anyway I'm delighted to realize my interpretation of how this medium could look, by some called BTR-115, using as the few details found in the photos currently published

Saracen had me confusing it with the 6x6 Alvis Saracen but this here is a Ratel ifv based 8x8. This relation becomes instantly clear when you compare rear aspects. Turret same as on above vehicle.

Ratel, Rooikat both gave stellar performance.
Prior to Ratel, we had Elands out on front line; but these were pulled back once mine proof vehicles came forward.

Mecar short 90mm ammo -whose guns (Cockerill low pressure)are most spreaded in the world -may be best alternative for UrbanWarfare.
