Greetings from New Zealand. I stumbled across your site a month ago and now come here every day. Just wanted to say keep up the good work and more obscure weapons please. Didn't even know they had tried the LOSAT on the M8 chassis.
awesome friend and welcome aboard. as far as obscure weapons you got it..especially armor! i was looking for info on the Rooikat when i stumbled across this. but i'm off on a tangent..thanks for the words and stay tuned!
ultimate tank destroyer. it has the LOSAT hit to kill missiles mounted on a M8 chassis which would give it outstanding mobility. they talked about the LOSAT as being able to pretty much destroy a bunker too but i wouldn't wast a missile doing such a thing. what got my attention and had me jazzed when i first saw it was 8 missiles per box and two boxes per vehicle. that's alot o f tank killing goodness.
Hey Sol, do you have any other pictures of this tank? I ask because I can only see six missiles per box instead of eight.
Also, this thing is a freakin beast we need in our arsenal! The CKEM which replaced the LOSAT was shorter, lighter, had a longer range, and was even faster! It could reach 2.5 kilometers per second with an 8 kilometer range. I mean DAYUUM!
i can't find any but i'm still looking. i count 8 because of the angle of the pic and what appears to me to be room for an additional two missiles. i could easily be wrong.

DeleteWhat is this vehicle's main purpose? Is it a tank destroyer? Fire support?
