I know we didn't rely on our french VABs one bit regarding protection, and I believe it's the same or even worse for the M-113. I'd say at least the BMP has a lower profile, IMO in comparison it's better than the others. Now is it really safer outside than inside is another question  |
All APCs were intended to do is protect the troops from shrapnel caused by nearby artillery bursts. They were never intended to protect them from mines or direct fire weapons.
