Some minor things:

• HitFist isn't the name of the IFV, is the name of the Oto Melara turret (HITFIST TC-25).
• In Italy there isn't any rumors of an 105 mm version.
• There isn't any anti-tank version in service, the first 200 vehicles batch is only standard version whithout anti-tank missiles. The proposed anti-tank version shares Spike-LR whith the VBM Freccia and don't use TOW missiles.
• The commander of the vehicle is also the commander of the dismounted squad and he get down whith the squad...this is becouse of the seven troops new italian squad configuration. (added on 12:56, 1 June 2007 by user:79.2.240.130)

I just saw your criticism, I agree with you and changed the following:

• Hitfist is the turret and the vehicle is the Dardo Y Done
• The Anti Tank version may come and it will have the Spike-LR Y Done
• as for the 105mm variant; i heard rumors that some consider it; so lets keep it in the article Y Done
• Commander, is this relevant??

No, it's not so relevant....it's only a information for the article. In the case of the VBM Freccia, the other Italian IFV, the commander of the dismounted squad isn't the vehicle commander.
