The eARMOR Magazine.
The website is very well laid out so we know a Soldier didn't do it, but I digress. Information galore! The real treasure is located in the archives for back issues of the magazine.
So do yourself a favor and check them out.

Thanks Sol, I'll check out the website.
ReplyDeleteWish we had a little more info/details about some of the issues/struggles the Chinese Navy is having but this reminds some that war is also about logistics, logistics, logistics, not just front line hardware.....something to ponder about when it comes to China and possible invasion of islands.

Since you have found Armor, how about some Infantry and Fires?

BEYOND AWESOME! THANKS!
DeleteNice artwork. Too bad that the M-1, Bradley and Stryker are a bad fit for Army needs. (Unless of course if your Army retirement includes working for GD Land and others).
ReplyDeleteThe Abrams, our front-line main battle tank for 30+ years now has been a bad fit for Army needs? Nonsense, the Abrams has proven adaptable, upgradable, extremely survivable, and possessing all of the qualities of its Leopard 2 and Challenger siblings.
DeleteThe Bradley despite some flaws has adapted and matured into a very useful part of our armored and mechanized units. We can certainly design a superior vehicle to it today but the "turretless Bradley" is the most logical choice to replace all of the old M113s employed by such units in support tasks.
The Stryker is a mixed bag. The once "Interim Armored Vehicle" is not here for the short term. It has its good and bad qualities, the key factor being how it is used.
I loved reading the older ARMOR stuff from the '80s and '90s, I didn't realize newer stuff could be accessed online now, great find.
ReplyDeleteGREAT! I recall as a youth of 17 wanting to drive tanks for the Marines, I told the recruiter I want Armor, He said, The Commandant prefers his tanks be driven by more mature Marines than 17 I was crushed.
ReplyDeleteMade me an 0351 though, at the time it had an anti Tank mission as well as assault.
Used a 106mm in that role, almost but not quite a tank, hell I would have washed dishes just to be a Marine back then.
Which I did a lot of pot shack and scullery work LOL
