This very capable system is indeed "DIW" due to economic reasons vice a lack of interest. The ANDERS would have represented a major step forward for Polands armed forces. It was meant to possibly replace the BWP-2000 also an indigenous IFV but cancelled itself. Don't know why I didn't post the ANDERS specific info last Sept. vice just the site, but here you go.

NOTE: Both systems were intended to replace the current Russian BMP-1 varients and others.

I didn't even know about IFV version - I'll have to wait until next MSPO military industry fair in September to touch it

Lately I've made some photos of 120mm version there, but there was awful light.

I believe, that Anders IFV should replace BWP-2000 in the Polish oob (#442) - BWP-2000 definitely has no future. Even at the moment of its debut, it was just APC with a turret - too high and lightly armoured (I've touched it as well)
