it turned Out that "Cougar" is not designed for off road use, until the gun is impossible to reach without a ladder, with a small roll it is impossible to turn the tower, and fast reload of the gun is difficult.  And, according to the report, these are just some of the drawbacks of Ukrainian armored vehicles.



in addition, the "Cougar" is not equipped with special wheel rates, allowing us to move even with broken wheels, which is very important when the machine is under fire. Quickly replace the tyre is also impossible: repair kit contains tools that are designed for standard chassis Toyota Land Cruiser, but not a "Cougar".
