Default Re: Interesting Note on Canadian Future Armor.

The XM8 will never be an option. Any vehicles produced domestically will always be given the contracts, no matter how inadequate they are on the battlefield. The Cougar and Grizzly are prime examples of this. Too much defense spending abroad=political suicide.
Also I think that the consideration is more for air-transportablity rather than air-dropablity.
