This is the posting equivalent of a drunk guy in the bar starting an argument on a subject he learned about five minutes ago. I wouldn't even call this post misinformed, because I can guarantee no actual research went into it. Its more blind conjecture oriented around an unshakable belief that all things Western are inherently good, and everything Russian is trash, and extending that formula to everything imaginable.

The M2 Bradley, one of Ukraine's latest wunderwaffe's, is famously cramped (because they had to fit all the missiles and auto-cannon rounds somewhere) and even in Iraq never came with AC, or much of anything else in the way of crew comforts. Real life cross-section's of the Leopard 1 also show that they're similarly crowded and uncomfortable for the crew. By contrast late-Soviet designs like the BMP-3 or BTR-90 did make some efforts to improve passenger ergonomics with both featuring more cubic space and better stabilizers than comparable NATO designs, while also managing to fit in such quality of life improvements as toilets and AC.
