Back to Philippines in a post in the MBT Thread of them putting their SABRA Light Tanks (From Isreal.) through acceptance trials I believe they were equipped with SPIKE ER as well.

Also, I can't remember if they got Infantry launchers of same.

I think the post was made around the time I submitted the "KAPLAN" for Indonesia.

I gotta get ready for work.

Pat

We don't include the Philippines in the list of OOBs, so what they have is irrelevant to MBT

USMC has settled on the size of its Rifle Squad.

Suhiir brought this up about 6-7 years ago I believe. The final decision was to leave it as 13.

Appears the USMC concurs with her astute assessment concerning her game decision.

Might have some added value as one will be a drone operator. And you know what that probably means, though I would speculate for a battlefield surveillance drone.

You just never know who's looking in on us. So, to them welcome and to you!?!

Germany to Replace G36 Rifle with New H&K G95A1 to Enhance Infantry Lethality.

On May 19, 2025, Heckler & Koch officially commenced deliveries of the G95A1 and KA1 assault rifles to the German Armed Forces, marking a new chapter in the German Armed Forces’ small arms modernization program. These rifles, developed by the German manufacturer Heckler & Koch headquartered in Oberndorf, Baden-Württemberg, represent the outcome of a lengthy and complex European tender launched in 2017 to replace the aging G36 rifles. With the Bundeswehr preparing for significant structural expansion and modernization, the G95A1 program plays a pivotal role in enhancing the infantry’s lethality and adaptability across modern battlefields. The G95A1 assault rifle is based on the HK416 A8 platform, one of the most field-proven modular rifles in NATO forces. The standard G95A1 is equipped with a 16.5-inch (420 mm) barrel, while the shorter KA1 variant features a 14.5-inch (368 mm) barrel. The weapon incorporates a free-floating handguard, gas piston operating system, and an ambidextrous fire control group. In contrast to the polymer-heavy G36, the G95A1 uses more aluminum components, increasing durability and accuracy but also adding weight. The rifle is fitted with an ELCAN Specter DR optic offering 1x to 4x magnification, though reports indicate integration delays with this sight. A mechanical backup sight remains available, ensuring redundancy in combat. The first deliveries included 390 units and accessories, with testing performed in diverse environments such as Arctic, desert, and jungle conditions.
