A minor change: the article states ASCOD IFV can transport 3 crew plus 7 troopers but it carries, actually, 8 soldiers.

I've read in quite a few forums, that the ASCOD originated through a requirement from the Greek Army for a new IFV to be named "Alexander", and was jointly designed by Steyer and ELBO. After Greece withdrew from the programm Steyer continued the development with a new partner - Santa Barbara. Is this true? Does anyone have any information? elgreco77 20:04, 13 November 2009
Are there any details about other changes to the general specifications ? At present the article states the crew is 3+8 which is way to many for a reconnaissance/scout vehicle. --Jim Sweeney (talk) 14:12, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
There is no section on the design of the vehicle, ie detailing where the power pack, gearbox, or drive sprockets are located, nor detailing the type of infantry door/ramp. Perhaps someone in the know could add a Design section to better describe the vehicle itself.FreeFlow99 (talk) 10:51, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

The text under the picture showing the Spanish version says something about ERA. Are you sure? That doesn't look to me like explosive tiles, just rather thin steel plates that are mounted with an air gap above the main armor to disturb projeciles and jets of shaped charges so they can't hit the main armor optimally anymore. The Austrian one has the same principle, just different plating. Explosive tiles of ERA would have to be considerably thicker to carry enough explosive mass to have an effect (see the tiles on a T-72B or T90 or M1A2-TUSK, or the SPz Puma with level C armor modules), so at least a few centimeters, while I see merely one centimeter if at all on the picture. Maybe someone with enough knowledge can say something about that.--91.41.39.190 (talk) 05:05, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
Some over-excited Philippines military fans are trying to labeled Sabrah ASCOD 2 Light Tank as "Medium Main Battle Tank (MMBT)". Sabrah ASCOD 2 clearly mentioned as Light Tanks by the manufacturer and no such term "MMBT" exists in military classification. Nafis Fuad Ayon (talk) 20:11, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

The Map in the Operators Section is currently out of date as it is missing both The United States and The Philippines as Operators represented in Blue on the Map. StarryDam (talk) 14:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
