Its really an interesting concept. They weigh in 10 tons more than a
T55 and lack a main gun or turret. So it means, lots more armor. They
have a smaller power pack too. So there's even that much more armor.

A really good idea for an APC meant to carry troops into urban areas
for an upclose assault. The capability for up to 4 MGs on the roof
certainly helps.
