I am speaking from AI point of view in terms of spacious.
11 has extra PC & runner.
11A has extra PS & medic.
11B well, we all know it's too small to contain any more troopers.
We all squeeze inside like sardines. Even worse during ICT, most of us have put on weight.
Why our BX2 is rejected by US Army is for the same reason.
Think for a moment.

Whole Picture
UMNO's 60th birthday
Mahathir has a gift
A long DVD attack on its leaders as 'lacking courage' and also touches on ties with Singapore. Blogger Jeff Ooi.
May 12, 2006Call it coincidence, but timing couldn't be more perfect.
As Umno celebrates its 60th anniversary today, a two-hour DVD depicting former Umno president Dr Mahathir Mohamad criticising the current crop of leaders for "lacking courage" makes it to the market.
The DVD is a recording of Mahathir's speech - titled 'Current Issues in Malaysian Politics' - and Q&A with 100 Malay professionals last December. It was a by-invitation-only event organised by think-tank Institute of Economic and Political Studies (Ikape).
For the record, Ikape is headed by former New Straits Times editor-in-chief Abdullah Ahmad aka Dollah Kok Lanas (DKL).
A quote from Mahathir in the DVD:
"If you want things to be right, you have to take the risk. But what I see now is a desire to avoid risks at all cost even if the country goes to the dogs."
Going to the dogs? You ain't heard nothing yet. "We are also not good at negotiating," said Mahathir. Quote:
I want to tell you, we had wanted to buy Russian MiGs (fighter planes). You know Russians, they are very inferior. Somehow or other, it was wangled without my knowledge, that part of the money (only to be used to purchase MiGs was also used) to buy (the American made) F-18 (planes). The very good American aircraft costs twice as much as the MiGs. And then, we acquired eight F-18s and 18 MiGs. MiGs are sold to us without any condition. If we feel like bombing Singapore, for example, the Russians are not going to object. Any Singaporeans here? Or ex-Singaporeans?
But this great aircraft called F-18 which we bought from America, after buying it, after several months, I got to know that these aircraft cannot be used for any attacks against any country even if it is not Singapore, because the Americans sold the aircraft, but the source code is kept by them. So you cannot plan anything, you cannot fly them to carry out any bombing attacks against anybody but you have this wonderful aircraft, which you can see at Lima (the Langkawi International Maritime and Aviation Exhibition). So, we spent this huge sum of money and they actually negotiated and agreed to these terms.
So that's why I say we are not very good at negotiating.
Mahathir also said Umno members were afraid of putting their heads on the chopping block and thus opted for silence when things went wrong.

Our neighbour used to have Hornets. Would SG be so stupid to buy something inferior to theirs. lol
Ex-Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed said in a speech recently:
"...(the) MIGs are given, are sold to us without any condition, if you feel like bombing Singapore, for example, the Russians are not going to object.
[laughter]
Any Singaporeans here? Or ex-Singaporeans?"
Dr M continues in the later part of the speech:...but this great aircraft called F-18, which we bought from America, after buying it, after several months, I got to know that this aircraft cannot be used for any attacks against any country, even if this is not Singapore.

At the time it achieved independence in 1965 however, Singapore's military consisted of only two infantry regiments, commanded by British officers and made up of mostly non-Singapore residents. The small nation, surrounded by its much larger neighbors believed that it needed a larger force. To that end, Singapore secretly contacted Israel, which sent military advisers who helped Singapore set up a defence force modeled in part after the IDF.[3]
