Re: APC Development and related topics.
Well they're here! Well really not so much here as much as over there-Germany to be more precise. The 2nd Cav. just received it's first new " DRAGOON" STRYKER w? 30mm. End user field tests are to start in Apr. 2018. If all goes well, the rest will arrive somewhere between ~Jul. 2018 into early 2019. Still can't confirm ATGW system as of now and of course the picture has the turret covered  .
Anyway...

The test kit consists of four PMPV 6X6 vehicles, which will be tested by the Finnish Defense Forces in field conditions in 2018-2020. The acquisition will provide information on the performance and availability of the vehicle for the future needs of the Defense Forces.

Re: APC Development and related topics.
To say I've been following it's development for awhile would be an understatement. This program for the USA, USMC and CADF has finally reached it's apex now that the USMC has begun fielding their version. I personally would recommend a JAN 2018 FOC+ date allowing for unit integration and crew certification training.
So for my Marine friend I don't have the time to pursue this further (We have something of a " BIG" event over a couple of weeks that'll soon garner most of my attention at work.) everything has already been posted, this might already be in the game only requiring a date change (Don't know.) but I know this is the final piece of the puzzle.
For CADF looks like yours is closer to the USA version. And they did not convert all of them to APC's back in 2007.
The ref. covers all of the above. Again this from DID which means further info/links are in the highlighted words or phrases of the articles with refs. listed at the bottom.
So " get hot" my indubitable MARINE, the USMC needs them as noted above.  You'd almost think I liked the CORPS, that thought scares the crap out of me!?!

I on the other hand need some sleep.
