This is the posting equivalent of a drunk guy in the bar starting an argument on a subject he learned about five minutes ago. I wouldn’t even call this post misinformed, because I can guarantee no actual research went into it. Its more blind conjecture oriented around an unshakable belief that all things Western are inherently good, and everything Russian is trash, and extending that formula to everything imaginable.
The M2 Bradley, one of Ukraine’s latest wunderwaffe’s, is famously cramped (because they had to fit all the missiles and auto-cannon rounds somewhere) and even in Iraq never came with AC, or much of anything else in the way of crew comforts. Real life cross-section’s of the Leopard 1 also show that they’re similarly crowded and uncomfortable for the crew. By contrast late-Soviet designs like the BMP-3 or BTR-90 did make some efforts to improve passenger ergonomics with both featuring more cubic space and better stabilizers than comparable NATO designs, while also managing to fit in such quality of life improvements as toilets and AC.

Folks watch the Pentagon Wars movie and you’ll quickly see how jank our military is.

I honestly cannot even pin the blame for this on them, they’re bombarded with garbage articles like “Putin’s desperation as ex-Army officer claims Russia nukes may no longer even work”.
“Boy I sure do wish we got to ride in all these comfortable, expensive, heavy Western vehicles that bunched up and were destroyed in a minefield instead of our still functioning, not blown up BMP”

The more this guy punches me, the more he risks breaking his hand or getting tired. Intellectual checkmate.
Some tacticians say a soldier’s armor should allow him to blend into the environment, so he’ll be harder to spot and hit.
The Galactic Empire staunchly disagrees with this premise.
If the enemy cannot see your glorious white plasteel armor, how will they marvel in your excellence??
