"It seems that US Army is testing a new M2 IFV variant with unmanned Kongsberg turret, exactly the same turret is tested on new Stryker APC variant.

It might be attempt to unify armament between both vehicles, but also solve some problems with M2, by use of unmanned turret, more space is avaiable inside hull, thus M2 should be capable to carry 3 men crew and 9 dismounts"

Well … there has been talk about doing more upgrades on both the M2 and Strykers … Sounds like a good idea … Combat and battlefield experiences many times ID's the directions where those upgrades should go …

While more space inside the Bradley's hull would be nice, that's a really BIG turret. And the Bradley isn't exactly short to begin with…

It makes it look like a tank-and will be treated as such on the battlefield…

Hopefully, doctrine, training, etc. will make it what is was supposed to be … an IFV …
