I'm wondering what kind of ammo stowage that turret has. Hardly any extra space behind the crew space, where main gun ammo is usually stowed.

The autoloader carries 22 rounds, another 18 stowed under the commander and gunner.Originally posted by Goldie fish View Post

I take it only small people need apply to operate the turret.

It's worth noting that Soviet Union brought most ot their infantry and reconnaissance units around in wheeled vehicles - BTR60/70/80, BRDM - even after they developed the BMP. The French are to replace the AMX10-P with the VBCI. Despite the economic and maintenance advantages there will always be a place for tracked IFV/reconnaissance vehicles, albeit a smaller percentage than wheels. Also of significance, the Soviets only trusted tracks(PT-76 and BMP-1) to carry heavier guns, something the Russians are continuing with the BMP-3, BMD-4 and Sprut-sd
its also intresting that the British FREs programme is divided between a wheeled utility (Boxer, Piranha V or VBCI) vehicle, but a tracked reconnaissance vehicle ( Cv90 and Ascod).Comment
