@Beliserius1 Hmm amphibious armor personnel carrier vs Landing Craft Air Cushion. Wow all most the same thing in what they both do. That is carry troops to the shore and deploying them.

[starknight97]

@Beliserius1 No but i can say the C-5 is a better troop carrier then the LCAC because it can deploy tanks & troops and at a faster speed there to.

[Beliserius1]

DIFFERENT ROLES. YOU CANNOT SAY A LANDING CRAFT IS BETTER THAN AN AMPHIBEOUS APC.

You CANNOT say the C-5 Galaxy is Better than the M551 Sheridan because the C-5 can deploy M1 Abrams tanks.

Im done talking to you.

@Beliserius1 The over all fact is the zubr better then EFV why it faster, more fire power and a hell of a lot bigger. Then as far as the the secondary role of IFV the BMP3 is better which the zubr can carry 9 to 10 of to the fight faster then a EFV can go. the main comparison here is the best landing vehicle. The EFV not even cheaper for as long as it been in development and the cost over runs.

@Beliserius1 It's was compared for a surprise attack. How are you gonna stop a zubr if your airforce has been defeated MBT & Arty of course. the zubr will return fire on most arty with it mid range rockets. verse MBT it best weapons is it own MBT it carries. yes the Zubr has over the horizon capability more so then the EFV for the 3rd time 300 miles vs water: 120 km (74 miles). meaning the ship it launched from has too less then 75 miles away. wile the barge you launch a zubr off of can be 300

@starknight97

EFVs advantages are surprise attacks. You don't launch a surprise attack with a full battalion. The over the horizon capability is very important for this.

Zubrs are NOT designed to fight inland. Stop comparing it to APCs or MBTs.

[starknight97]

@Beliserius1 Then as far as air-force the Zubr can fight some but if you attacking a second world country and up you better have at least 1 carrier near or a helicopter carrier at least. The EFV has these same flaws minus 1 or 2 may go unnoticed. Though 10+ will be noticed and sonar net will see them very easy yet not a Zubr as easy though.

[starknight97]

@Beliserius1 True radar or observation planes may see it coming. i say may because Israel hacked the enemy radar and feed a blank screen on one of their attacks. So surprise or ruse is always has a chance. The zubr top speed is 63 knots = 72.4991052 mph. This faster then any MBT or EQ too carrier them. In sort as long as you attack a point as far from their tank force which as is a far as the Zubr can be seen then you Drop off before they get their in today's world. If the trips 1 way it would.

@starknight97

WW2 had limited abilities to acquire intel. Today, any competent defense force will be able to detect the Zubr the moment it nears the beach, and deploy countermeasures.

Zubr won't be actively fighting in the field once it has dropped off the troops, it is too big of a target. Not even navy destroyers dare venture within line of sight of a hostile beach.
