That is one sweet lookin' ride. I bet it's airdroppable, too. Maybe we'll soon see the reactivation of the 3/73 Armor Bn.

7 months is pretty darn fast.
The Marines should be interested in light tanks too.

| Very Nice, an M8 AGS with hybrid drive, band tracks, and better armor it appears!! Hybrid electric drive and band tracks are the future of tracked combat vehicles IMO. I'd love to hear the Army's excuse for buying the Stryker MGS over this.

Delta,
My guess their first answer would be commonality of parts.

In other words this thing here doesnt have parts that are common to the Amry? hell it dont take much to change that, 3 orders in 3 months gets you one on hand, 7 orders in 3 months gets you 3 on hand and then 2 orders per month to sustian it. To easy!

In that case, tell United Defense to build an APC on the same chassis.
