I wasn't sure which thread to put this in but felt it important enough as it will affect the
game and have an impact for any
scenario folks where the use of
USMC is concerned.
The first unit (
3rd Marine Littoral Regiment) had already been testing the new concept. The
3rd MLR was activated earlier this year using
the new squad in the regiment’s
littoral combat team and the following will show what it looks like and finally it'll allow us to transport this
NEW configuration much more easily.
This is part of what the
2030 Plan wanted to accomplish.

I always try to use the
best resources available when they're available.
So, some tank news concerning heavy armor for the
Ukraine coming from the West. The last one caught me a
little "off guard" but not too much.

It was also mentioned a modernization of the M-60A3 could be considered, I hope we could do better. If it should go that way, it should be an updated combination of the 120S or better the M-60A3 SLEP.

If
I remember correctly there was mention in the above concerning the F-16 (Specifically the
F-16V.) this isn't the first mention by the
USAF putting the
Ukraine and the
F-16 in the same sentence.
I first read about this around
mid-March concerning the
competency of their pilots to be
able to fly those jets. I would see this again
~May and
July/Aug all from
O6's and one O7 (?).
I believe the training has already started. We'll see.
I didn't look into this much until a few minutes ago and it looks "like a thing" now.

I just remembered I had also posted the following before a couple of years back, this is another M-60 option...

As ALWAYS, I'll be tracking these developments.
