Kurganets-25 vs Puma infantry fighting vehicle | Russian vs German IFV

Both vehicles have state-of-the-art technology like 360 degrees camera view around the IFV and thermal imaging sight for both gunner and commander. The Puma has an improved situational awareness system as well as the battle management system. While Kurganets-25 infantry fighting vehicle is equipped with an automatic fire control system that is able to select automatically the targets. Standard equipment of the Kurganets 25 could include a thermal imager, eye-safe laser rangefinder, inertial navigation system, and computerized fire control system.
Infantry fighting vehicles plays the important role in modern warfare as they serve as the mode of travel for the mechanized infantry and providing direct support fire. In this video, we will talk about the German PUMA and Russian Kurganets 25 IFV’s and compare them side by side.
Both IFVs are of new generation and feature high-class technology. PUMA entered service in 2015 and Germany has 300 plus units. While it is also exported to some other countries. On the other hand, Kurganets-25 was first seen in 2015 and its production was planned to begin by 2016 however it was delayed indefinitely in 2020.

Mybe in land battle kurganets 25 have a advanced, because can swimming in river and make a supprise from side enemy, . puma IFV cannot swimming but can accros river, just like MBT they need long snorkle,

[theinsomnia]

Correction for Kuganets-25 suspension is not Torsion but Hydro Pneumatic you can see it on 2:43

[shanghai]

We all know, when it comes to engineering and tanks, there is nobody better than the Germans.

[kuhluhOG]

Quite frankly, I don't think comparisons of IFVs are useful without knowing the doctrine of the army it is being used by.

[ericb.]

Hmmm... One IVF is proven and in production, the other has only a few prototypes. However never let it be said the Russians don't know how to build very good armored vehicles.

[utube]

How can you compare two machines, when first one is produced with about 300 units, but other one is only prototype with few unit for showcase reason during parades?

[svenhuber]

The have and the have not's. We are talking about an Russian IVF which does not exist, well done.

[deven]

It should be mentioned that the Kornet missile family mostly has fire and forget capability, however it was shown in testing that Russian forces preferred manual Guidance

[kudaclash]

Both are currently the best IFVs in the world. Way ahead of the other products on the market. Germany and Russia are def. building the best tanks these days.

[hymaera]

2025 battlefield in Ukraine - on Russia site in usage modest IFV named Zhiguli, Lada, or china electric bikes

[marko]

Vheicles are not in same class, Puma and T-15 are, so they should be comaped.

[refiandikrisnawan]

hello Armour_desia Military Hardware, I'm admin of the modelkitindo channel, I ask permission to hanging this video on my channel as a teaser, and I will enclose your channel name on the video and link in description ... thank you

[pandibbarman]

One is being used by the military and one is still in the shed 😂

[fredcollins]

US Army needs to immediate do a major mass purchase of Panzerfaust 3s, Pumas IFVs & UK Warrior IFVs, for starters, & tens of thousands of NLAWs

[momcilopucar]

Let me correct this video Host!! Kurganets-25 is better protected than Puma. It's built on armata platform and Armata is the best protected of all competitors at same category it has 30mm main gun + Coaccsal machne gun, explosive reactive armor, Aphganite protective system form RPG and ATGM. HAS 4 CORNET THAT ARE SELF GUIDED (fire and forget guided system) with range 10k. Video host degraded cornet to 8k and purposely degraded fire and forget guided system. Kurganets is better then puma in fire power and armor protections too. 👎Video host 👎 purposely 👎 downgraded Kurganets. End of story and speculation!! 👍Armata is well known as best protected platform presently!! 👍 Yet has adjustable suspension!!👍

[anonymusum]

So you believe the official Russian informations?

[stephanschmitz]

The best in the world from Germany the Puma

[AB-nggo]

yea im gonna go ahead and say the kurganets sounds way superior in every way based on these metrics

[Ghostrr]

The Puma has a built-in kettle and a toilet, no idea if thats the case in the kurganets.

[elusive]

The comparison is completely incorrect.
At least because with a full set of additional protection, the Puma weighs twice as much as the B-11, more than 50t against 28t. Kurganets-25 is a chassis for BMP and BTR, the difference is the tower and the level of protection.
The weight of the main tank with a heavy protection kit. With a very modest internal volume. No active protection, except for the jamer.
30mm gun, good, but outdated. Short range ATGM. An ordinary, albeit remotely controlled tower.
In fact, this is a mini version of Merkava. With the same mobility problems. In addition, she is not able to swim.
The Germans again tried to make a universal car for all cases, but increasing the protection exceeded the reasonable limits of the mass.
This is a regular BMP from the 70s, but with increased armor, which is still not enough.
Or only those countries that have mainly equipment of the 60-70s, such as old armored personnel carriers and BMP-1, were considered as opponents. Because even an upgraded BMP-2 will be a problem, not to mention the BMP-3 and subsequent ones.
The B-11 has a similar level of protection with almost half the weight. In addition, the old 30mm 2a42 is universal, but only a temporary measure, or an export one.
But even it has afpds and remote HE. In addition, there is already a new tower with 57mm low ballistics with hash shells and AFPDS, which are more compact and rational for hitting "weakly armored" targets, under the definition of which the Puma is quite suitable. With such a mass and dimensions, the resistance to kinetic impact is only from 50 mm, very mediocre.
For tanks and IFVs, there is not only a Cornet, but also a kinetic multi-purpose Bulat ATGM, a reduced analogue of the MRM-KE.
In addition, the active protection of the Drozd-2 works not only forward, but also in the upper hemisphere and to the sides, "shooting" behind the back is also possible, but this is already more difficult.
The project of 45mm telescopic ammunition is closed as too unreliable and expensive, besides not meeting modern requirements. But 57mm is quite suitable, the problem is the weight and dimensions of the projectile, but they are solved in low-ballistics guns by heavy HE and universal AFPDS. Which are lighter, more compact and cheaper.
