If you've been reading my little blog here, you might have noticed that I've become fascinated with projects from the past that were left behind or not pursued.
Well, I found another promising project called the Expeditionary Tank. Want a surprising tidbit of information? It would have worked perfectly...as a matter of fact its main gun is being used on the Stryker!

This could be a good Unmanned vessel
ReplyDeletei'm not quite convinced that unmanned ground vehicles are viable yet.
ReplyDeleteit would make a good replacement for the M1 in the MEU though.
it would make a great vehicle for the Airborne forces too.
I think the M8 would be better suited to the MEU. A good way to slim down and not give up the firepower. It also has the add-on armor packages developed.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the article that turret was problematic and was re-used on the Stryker AGS. I have never heard anythig good about the Stryker gun system.
This also lost to the M8, that says something.
Then there was the AAI RDF lit tank with a 75mm auto-cannon. Weird looking thing...

I am talking in 25 years as complement.For now we are good with the M-1.Even in my opinion the M-1 should be use until 2050.
