Bradley is a P.O.S. by comparison.

Apples and Oranges.
Bradley is 1970's technology.
Puma is ermm, under development according to the site cited.
And-uh it may never be deployed.

So, I'll put together a team with oh say a battalion's worth
of Bradley scouts, you do the same with Pumas and we'll do the
High Noon thing. Air deliver to some remote site using oh say
C130 aircraft.
Oh wait, you can't...

i remember when people critized the bradely cause it had Tow missles
on it, people said why dose a IFV need Tows, etc. But as soon as the
first Gulf War was over, everybody wanted to put ATG missles on their
own IFV. People somehow forgot that the role of the IFV was to support
the troops, not just operate as a Taxi. Those Tows sure came in handy
when going up against Bunkers and machine gun nests.
just my $.02

Speaking of European projects, how is the A4000 transport that was
supposed to enter service by now comeing along????
