Yup, clearly. Just wanted to be bit "patriotic"

Well wasnīt the first real IFV the BMP1 ?

I always thought, that the Marder was a bit to heavy and high (bigger target) compared to BMP. Also the 20mm cannon isnīt as good as 30mm. While i admit that for a timespan the MArder was a good IFV with 20mm, Mg and Milan rockets. Probably a battlegroup mixed with Leopards were quite powerful.
