YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Hanwha AS21 Redback is Australia’s new infantry fighting vehicle, and one of the more interesting armored vehicles in the global IFV market.
It has a 30 mm cannon, Spike LR2 missiles, active protection, advanced sensors, and a heavy survivability pitch built for a battlefield where drones, anti-tank missiles, and artillery are everywhere. But Australia is still the only confirmed buyer — and the export fight against Lynx, CV90, ASCOD, Borsuk, and others is brutal.
So is the Redback a serious contender for the future of mechanized infantry, or just one very good Australian win?
