Did you know that the LAV is not only amphibious but it can also be airdroped?...The US Army test them in the 1980s but congress didnt aprove funding for it...
ReplyDeletewell aware. not impressed by it though. air transport wll never be able to deliver enough vehicles at distance to make the idea of airborne armor appealing. logistics alone will render it a non-factor
DeleteDidnt they just adopt the same turret as the Striker?
ReplyDeletethe exact same one. they're making this harder than it has to be. the Army did the work, just harvest their results and roll with it.
Deletebut don't get me wrong. i'm happy to see the Marine Corps falling in on Army gear when it works.
