In the most recent development, the Army now seems to have realized that something has gone wrong. At its training grounds in Fort Campbell, eight of the 11 bridges it crossed cracked under the weight of the “light tank,” making it too heavy for the Amy’s needs.

The M10 Booker seems to be the latest victim of a broken requirements process that is more concerned with checking boxes than actually evaluating the needs of the Army.
If true that would be a game changer

The US OOB has one ( 1 ) drone and it's unarmed so there will be additions.... just what they are is TBD..........FORTUNATELY we have the extention OOB in place so we can add many more...... the first unit in the extentions was the M10..........grumble
