As a crewman I still dont see where CV90120 fits. Ive thought about our Second World War Reconnaissance Regiment and I guess they can fit in a similar role as the 6 pounders then (regimental DFS) but I dont know if the juice is really worth the squeeze. Autocannons and missiles would be plenty...

That radar dome getting hit looks expensive. Credit where its due, Shaheds really are an Iranian stroke of genius. Low cost and effective as hell. Every $4,000,000 patriot missile used on a $30,000 shahed is one not being used on a future missile strike.

Reports arecoming in that the Iranians have closed the Straits of Hormuz. Unsure if that means theyve mined it.

Is there any releases from Davie saying how many non-ship's company pers can embark? A Coy? A Bn?

Naval infantry sounds like a good role for a "break glass in case of emergency" light infantry regiment thats being stood. Doesnt need to be the USMC but the Royal Marines are a fantastic analogue.

Apparently Khomeini's residence was blown up by Israel

The armour of a modern Western MBT is very different than the armour of a 50 year old T72. The very fact a tank was alone without a fireteam partner and no intimate support in an urban area is what killed that tank, not the 25mm per se. In our doctrine that Bradley would have bern dead by round...

Base in Bahrain being struck by missiles.

Didnt he say their nuclear program was completely destroyed?

Nor should it be. One of the inherent risks of living in a free and democratic society is less security. Thats a trade Im willing to make.

Man theyre huge.

Man does Wab ever continue to crush polls.

What about normalizing trade to pre-Meng Wanzhou levels makes them besties? Especially when our largest customer, who stabbed us in the back in said case, has decided to self-immolate?

Because its a GWagon replacement program. Not an LS/ML replacement.
