IFV suggestions for Brits/Russia/MEC

Now that PR has an IFV class vehicle Ive noticed that some factions dont have one yet. The US army has the stryker, PLA has an IFV {I dont remember the name} but the brits dont have one, the MEC kinda has one in the btr60 although I think that leans more towards an APC since it has a cannon and Russia also uses the btr60. It seems like to qualify as an IFV the vehicle must have the ability to carry alot of troops {like a whole squad} be relatively lightly armored, and have a machinegun for defense. APCs have heavier armor, and more powerful armament like cannons and missiles.

For brits I suggest the FV432 bulldog
Image
It has a semi exposed gunner position with a GPMG and has ample transport capability so I think it fits the IFV class perfect for the brits.

And for Russia and maybe even MEC too I suggest the MT-LB
Image
It only has a small machinegun turret for defense but lots of space for troops plus I think its amphibious. And while it may be an old vehicle its still in use by the russians and other countries they exported it to.

MT-LB is more APC than IFV, its usually used only for transport, MT-LB stands for light armoured multi-purpose tractor
i guess you messed APC and IFV, IFV is usually has a cannon and heavier armor
for russian army BTR and BMP pair would be better imo
though if anybody will make MT-LB it will give opportunity to make millions of other vehicles with different armament

yeah your right i think I meant AFV not IFV. Or um.. well you know all what I meant Im sure lol.

As for the MT-LB, yeah I know theres a million attachments for it but I was talking about the basic version with the PK gun turret.
