developement history:

 

The Puma (formerly also  named Igel and Panther ) started as a follow-up project to the German mid-90s "NGP" project (Neue Gepanzerte Plattformen, "New Armored Platforms"). Its aim was to collect ideas for a common base vehicle that could be used for a variety of tasks including that of the APC, IFV, airdefence and replacing/amending the MBT in the frontline combat role. The NGP project was ended in 2001.

I like it, but I can't help but think that the 'I' in IFV is perhaps a bit small. 6 dismounts, is it?
