I consider this to be the most important vehicle being delivered to ground forces this decade...

Luv the Redback IFV. Like the Boxer and the Lynx. The Patria 8x8 will always be a favorite. The Turks are putting out some fierce and quite capable armored vehicles. The ACV looks awesome on land but I'm unsure about it crossing the surf and its swim speed.

All of the above is good and I'm betting will only get better.

BUT!

In light of the drone threat I believe the bad boy at the top of this blogpost is the most important vehicle to hit US land forces this decade.

The only problem?

The USMC probably won't get any (and FD2030 almost requires it!) and it doesn't swim.

Then again those anti-ship missiles on JLTVs won't swim either so maybe we don't need to reinvent the wheel or even put it on another platform.

Just add Strykers to the setup or integrate Army vehicles/anti-air units into our formations.  I mean we're doing it with tanks right?
