Light anti-AFV vehicle...


The JLTV issue continues but I saw this pic on the Survivable Combat Vehicle website and noticed that they have mounted an ATK light weight 25mm cannon onto one.

This is the real 'revolution' in military affairs that the theorist talk about but are unable to implement.  A humvee sized vehicle able to engage and defeat AFV's several tons heavier (if the proper ammo is equipped).

A motorized Marine Infantry Company would have the ability to range far and possible engage heavier forces or defeat larger infantry based forces with a little more out of the box thinking.  Granite/Textron...I like it!

UPDATE:
Specs on the ATK-25 mm gun can be found here....
