Re: The Tank is dead
And what of the US Stryker AFV. It carries 9 troops, a crew of two, excellent maintenance records (better than the tracked Bradley).
Perfect speed and mobility for MOUT operations.
It comes in a variety of packages to complete a mission: an essential battle taxi, gun vehicle, ATGM, reconnaissance vehicles, mortar, engineer, and a C3 wagon.
No one vehicle does it all as the BMP and series.
And with the wire cage bolt on it take survive an single shaped RPG.
Plus it plays great in winspmbt.
The thing about MRAP, we make a modification and the enemy makes stronger IED's. The cycle continues.
Plus, these groups in Syria and Iraq change allegiance on a dime (or a quarter or a dollar). Point being, you give a group TOWs and next month a splinter group is using those ATGMs against us. The MRAP is short gapped.
