The turret itself can take a lot of beating and has no crew in it, but its optics can be easily detected when facing an enemy and it technically can be penetrated by 12.7. This is unfortunate, as the ammo belt is right behind the optics, allowing enemy to destroy the ammunition. Another weakness is the turret ring, as it allows autocannon armed tanks to destroy the vertical gun drive. The Puma has mediocre hull armour at first sight, supposedly barely withstanding 12.7 mm rounds, as it has at most 15 mm RHA. However, the external armour plates, spacing, internal RHA screens and modules make this vehicle a very capable one when it comes to survivability. The Hybrid Runner is for neutral runners who prefer minimal cushioning and little stability. It’s an everyday trainer best suited for short road runs and cross-training Victor, Nancy (28 January 2022). "Croatia Armed Forces to acquire 89 Bradley fighting vehicles". Army Technology .

Based on unofficial information from the Czech general staff, Puma might be selected based on its "technological superiority". [46] In December 2018, Puma was shortlisted together with the ASCOD, CV90 and Lynx [47] In October 2019 it was announced that the Puma was being withdrawn from the competition. The manufacturer said that the Czech Army requirements would require an expensive redesign to the existing Puma which it was unwilling to undertake. [48]

The midsole is comprised of two foams for cushioning and energy return, hence the “hybrid” in the sneaker’s moniker. The trippy, bumpy texture on the exterior of the Hybrid Runner is Puma’s NRGY midsole, composed of beads for cushion and comfort. Ignite foam also assists with propulsion and responsiveness. Because the foam is stiff, and designed to maximize energy return, the shoes feel fast despite the extra weight. As your foot strikes the ground, it feels like the midsole is working with you, popping off the pavement as you push off. One wear-tester was surprised to nab a 5K PR in the shoes, even though they felt heavy when first put on.
