Are we sure that image is correct? It looks like one of the 100mm gun-launcher and 30mm autocannon combinations but the artical only mentions the 30mm gun. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.101.218.193 (talk) 05:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

APC or IFV[edit]

The article and other places call it an APC,but it has the armarment of an IFV. Dudtz 10/26/06 7:00 PM ET

If the best sources call it an APC, then we should go with that. But it's okay to point out that it has characteristics comparable to IFVs. It can be hard to be precise with vehicles which have not seen a lot of active service. —Michael Z. 2006-10-27 03:18 Z

All the references clearly state that it is an armoured personnel carrier. I have changed IFV to APC in the infobox and lead section. But I haven't added the comparison to IFVs, since no source indicates that and might go down as original research. Chamal ^Talk ± 08:36, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, never mind.
