With IDEX 2017 going on I just happened to catch this on the show/exhibition news area. Looks like the Czech Army is seriously looking at the German PUMA IFV C3/P6. Understand I've got a couple of issues going right now, nothing bad, however I don't have the time to back check the German PUMA IFV. That being said three issues or non starters don't know...
1)
Fielded btwn Jan.-Apr. 2016.
2) Indicates all using SPIKE I believe it to be the
LR version as I think the IDF is still testing the latest version due this year to go into service with the IDF.
3) Is the German PUMA IFV configured with the "
soft kill" MUSS system as indicated in this article?

As a testing update for EITAN which will be equipped with the new SPIKE when fielded...

Probably will be ready for fielding by years end or very early next year by the pace of development. Nice to see someone run a defense industry with "
Their Sxxx one sock" for a change.
Gotta go!!
