The puma is a German infantry fighting vehicle that was meant to replace the German army’s outdated model IFVs. The first batch of 350 automobiles began production in 2010 and is expected to be completed by August 2020. The financing for the second batch of 210 pumas has been approved. The puma is now the world’s most protected production IFV. It has modular add-on armor and three different protective levels to meet Puma’s operational needs. The puma is heavier than a t72 main battle tank, and it appears that the most protected variant would withstand 120 and 125-millimeter tank projectiles over the front arc, as well as mine blast equivalent to 10 kilograms of TNT. Furthermore, the puma is equipped with an advanced threat warning system, proving survivability.

Thoughts:

Top-10-Infantry-Fighting-Vehicles
Top-10-Infantry-Fighting-Vehicles

The German Puma recently failed its combat test, and it is still far from the top rank. I’d say the CV90 is the greatest, the K21 is second, and the Bradley is third. Both the CV90 and the Bradley are battle-proven, but the Bradley, really, doesn’t have a chance against the K21 in hard testing. It’s simply too old. Before anyone gets too worked up over the CV90, during an international test, all of the IFVs failed to reach the starting line due to the rugged terrain, except the CV90, which had to PULL the rest there. It’s a beast, and since IFVs are designed to move troops quickly through rugged terrain while packing a powerful punch to support them, the CV90 excels at this task (it can even carry 2 extra people compared to the Bradley). Not to add that the US military has urged Sweden to provide more information about the CV90 because it could be a successor for the Bradley, indicating that even the Pentagon believes the CV90 is superior to the Bradley Also, keep in mind that the Lynx has yet to be deployed anywhere, therefore it shouldn’t be on the list. The same can be said for Russia’s Kurg-25, which was “indefinitely postponed” in late 2020.
