I think a double V hull Bison would have been the epitome of the 8x8 LAV. Modular RPG Cage and some add on armor, but still Herc transportable. That would be an APC, I could get behind for a RSW setup, or a stabilized 40mm GMG and M2 .50 turret. When it started to grow into the LAV III...

The LAV 6.0 is not really a Medium, at 32 tons Combat Weight, I can't for the life of me see how anyone believes that is a Light, let alone Medium vehicle. The LAV 6.0 MkII ISC (otherwise know as the LAV 700, but name changed to try be an unnoticeable ECP) with the 35mm cannon etc is running...

I do not think that one chassis options are viable. You need a Heavy, a Medium, and a Light for Tracked, and at least a Light and Medium for wheeled. I think the Boxer is a lot of lies for the price of one. I think that loitering munitions are just one of the many threats that is needed to...

The Super Hornet at least was fielded by the USN at that point and not solely a potential aircraft on CAD loosely based on a previous airframe from the company. Hey the old MDD crew used the CA’s C3 to C3A1 analogy when they pitched the Super Hornet to the USN and USMC. It’s just an ECP if...

Agreed, but then you ran into the issue that all of a sudden yourself isolated to it now has a hole from the crew/troop compartment to the turret. It takes space and the person needs to be able to operate so you end up with sort of the same space requirement as a manned turret, but without the...

While RWS do keep folks from being exposed, any of the ones that are non penetrating require reloading the RWS weapons and conducting any sort of immediate action drills for someone to hop out and be exposed. So I put them in a good for Convoy Escort, Rear Area Security, and similar tasks —...

The answer is LocMart needs to make a HIMARS plant in Oshawa...

Except that specific missile only covers an area less than 10SQKM . Don't get caught up on the term he is used -- just accept the physical specifics. It is a efficient system - as it requires a Anti-Missile Missile to intercept it before payload release, and those are expensive - and it is...

I’m a fan of overlapping capabilities. I was not a fan of the MMEV in the Canadian setting simply as you’d get less than half of what you needed for each task, and it would be called done. However for the IFV, I disagree with @FJAG as while I see the appeal of the non penetrating ‘modular’...

Blast radius being in the above, being the area of dispersion. 20 submunitions in a 8km wide circle. It is a terror weapon, nothing more. Some of variants have a fragmentation payload, others an incendiary.

In the video I posted it’s simply a cluster bomb rocket. There is no main warhead - it’s just the carrier ‘shell’. Inert / but large enough to fall and damage things.

I think he’s using radius in a total area stand point, like blast radius or damage radius is done / not as in radius of a circle. See my above.

What’s the odds for him making past 24hrs…

So basically DPICM but at significant altitude. Hard to counter even with a lot of gun systems, if you don’t hit it before it separates. Earlier interceptions required.

I lol’d

I see the BM2 35mm as a stop gap. It can be retrofitted into M242 setups (Bradley and LAV-25). The 40mm Casetelescope Ammo (CTA) cannons are inherently superior for reliability and ammunition storage (it is like a large beer can). Polymer casing is much lighter and due to shape packs...

Honestly, it’s pretty likely they overflew KSA, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria. Longer route would be Turkey. No idea on the permissions, but they used a lot of non stealthy stuff. So I’m guessing that based on what’s occurred that whomever was overflown got a short notice warning of the...

US Army wanted 50-65mm, (the MICV requirement document had that range), in which they still believe is an autocannon in a 45-50t vehicle. The entire theory in that is multiple rounds in short succession to defeat a MBT, and a large enough payload for HE/HEI on dismounted troops. I think...

Not wrong.

Carl G with new optics… It’s a lot more practical than a towed gun or a light armored vehicle someone will try to use as a tank…
