The 1990 Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe defines an infantry fighting vehicle as “an armoured combat vehicle which is designed and equipped primarily to transport a combat infantry squad, and which is armed with an integral or organic cannon of at least 20 millimeters calibre and sometimes an antitank missile launcher”
IFV means a fighting vehificle for infantry use not for fighting infantry. Before you goa around insulting folk try doing even the most cursoty of research.
The BMPT Terminator is a BMTP (Боевая машина поддержки танков - Tank Support Fighting Vehicle) not and IFV. Nobody classes it as an IFV.

Do little logic research, Terminator is still IFV. I understand that there is a lot of confusion among Russian “аналоговнет”. But according to videos with the terminator at Ukraine, it did not support tanks, it performed the functions of an IFV.

Tell me where BMPT carries infantry, thanks.
If they depart from the tank it’s not quite operable, no?

My bad, I forgot that Russia has High-tech Military Industry, capable of building Drone-tanks. You’re correct if course!

What are the differences between the CTWV:RCV and CTWV:ICV? Barring the obvious distinction of one carrying sensors and the other carrying people. Do they have different guns? The turrets seem to be slightly different.
The RCV and ICV/IFV share many similarities, including their turret, gun, and other core components.
However, the RCV is specifically tailored for reconnaissance missions and is equipped with specialized tools and equipment to excel in this role.
For instance, the RCV is designed with enhanced reconnaissance capabilities, featuring advanced sensors, communication systems, and surveillance tools optimized for gathering intelligence and conducting reconnaissance operations.
In the CG concept shown the telescopic mast when fully extended.

More armor is always good
For your consideration, I present the Bradley with hydropneumatic suspension.
Extra gun depression is never bad, after all.
