this is a group, (like the tank and aircraft lovers) is dedicated to the IFV (infantry fighting vehicle) like the BMP-2 the M2A2 bradly and so on and so forth, from made up to real life, and anything in between. from treads to wheels to hover, this is for all you people who enjoy those rumbling rolling armored vehicles, that when on the target drop their ramps to emit a large group of infantry.

Description

I have taken a choice to finally put some up photos up in this group. Especially since it was months since a last update.

General info: the K-21 or NIFV (Next Infantry Fighting Vehicle), was developed in South Korea to replace the ageing KIFV. Development commenced in 1999. Production of the new IFV started in 2008 and approximately 900 vehicles are planned to be built. First vehicles were fielded in 2009. It is claimed that the K-21 is superior to most of the current IFVs. It also costs twice cheaper to build this vehicle comparing with the M2 Bradley IFV. It is expected that this armored vehicle will have some export success due to its low price.
