| At the time it was produced, M-80 had similar characteristics with existing IFVs like Russian BMP-1 or French AMX 10P. Although many foreign experts compare M-80 with Russian BMP-1, the Yugoslav IFV is a true original design. Unlike BMP-1 which had 6 support wheels and was armed with 73 mm gun, M-80 had 5 support wheels and had 20 mm gun. M-80 incorporates numerous elements from the newer BMP-2 and the French AMX-10 giving it more power and better protection over its counterpart. All M-80 are amphibious. For anti-tank warfare, M-80s are equipped with twin launcher for ATGM-3 Maljutka which are now being replaced by more modern weapons. It was used extensively through the Yugoslav wars to great effect by all sides. Its loss rate was considered fairly low and proved very valuable to ground forces alike. It was often used alongside M-84 tanks. Today they are being modernized by Serbia and Croatia separately in an effort to enable them to serve 10 years more. |

There are already too many APC's in the PA.
The M-80 we don't need for the AFP!
