@EGabrielK @TotherChris Not enough seats for dismounts, armor not thick enough, zero missile capability...

@TotherChris Still the M1283 has room for only 4 dismounts

I do not see the UK acquiring AMPV. While the platform is the most sensible next-step for Bradley replacement*, in the UK BAES Inc owners, BAES Plc, are in a Joint Venture with Rheinmetall (RBSL, based in Telford) which favours the KF41 Lynx family of AFV's. (*Opinion: US Army should sack off the OMFV and reinvest the funds elsewhere given how capable AMPV is in the AFV space)

@the_engi_nerd @marcusquest Been playing PC games since late 90s. Never once felt modern gaming sucks

@marcusquest Because modern video games mostly suck

why are people so desperate to live in the past? just "retro" and "nostalgia" everywhere. why are we encouraging this?

@actualjib @2805662 Just because it has an autocannon doesn't make it an IFV, depending which definition you are holding it against tho In this case it's most likely not going to be used at platoon level and below, so still not an IFV

@2805662 They re-Bradley'd the de-Bradley'd APC back into an IFV.

Bradley 2.

@SpaceborneMedic If you spend even 5 seconds looking at both vehicles, they have entirely different turrets!

That looks like they stuck the 30mm turret of the Stryker M1296 on top of a Bradley.

@RdHdSteppeson No one has ever said they are replacing M2s with these. Stop spreading bs Likely just up-gunned M1283s for rear echelons

>Make Bradley, but its not replacing your M113s so you keep those >Need to replace M113s, replace them with Turretless Bradleys >Put a turret on it, use it to replace Bradleys

@aimless1986 @1stCavalryDiv @USArmyEURAF @USArmy I know the M1283s are going to the company HQs and above. However it's a bit odd when these echelons are getting XM813s. I know people are gonna guess C-UAS but that role is usually for XM914 short 30mms

@zhinaslayer3000 @1stCavalryDiv @USArmyEURAF @USArmy you're right i got it mixed up, the ampv uses a redesigned bradley chassis.

Big news! The 1st Cavalry Division has just received the Army’s FIRST AMPV 30mm prototypes. Our troopers are leading the charge once again by integrating this next-generation capability into the formation and transforming how armored Divisions fight. #BeLegendary #PegasusCharge

@aimless1986 @1stCavalryDiv @USArmyEURAF @USArmy Bradley is going to be replaced by the XM30. This ain't it

@zhinaslayer3000 @1stCavalryDiv @USArmyEURAF @USArmy AMPV is the M113 replacement. these with the 30mm are being studied for eventual Bradley replacement i believe. I believe this is the same 30mm that some Strykers are outfitted with.

@BlackScholesMan @Defence_blog The hull isn't really modified, besides the top plate

@Defence_blog isn't this literally a Bradly hull modified?

U.S. Army fields first AMPV 30mm prototypes with 1st Cavalry Division. The vehicle, fitted with an unmanned MCT-30 turret, is designed to replace M113 roles while adding direct-fire capability to support formations. defence-blog.com/u-s-army-equip…

@HarbyOzie @minowagin2952 这些欧洲货直接搬过来是完全不符合美陆的要求和使用方式的，最好是XM1299换PzH 2000的炮管

@minowagin2952 毕竟有一个国家还在用155L39这种20年前就应该被XM2001取代的东西

#川粉TV 我看你美一边搞大陆军大海军一边没有大炮还怎么活😁 单纯是圣骑士火炮太菜了美军又不花钱买pzh2000或者凯撒而已

@noclador Unlikely, they just swapped their M1296 with new M1304

If the 2nd Cavalry Regiment leaves Germany for Poland and exchanges its Strykers for Bradley IFVs and Abrams MBTs... that would be excellent. If the 2nd Cavalry Regiment returns to CONUS... that would be very bad. So let's wait and see where they move the units based in Germany.

The M4 from #MW4 is actually in the game's files. It looks good, though the iron sights... (The 1st screenshot is from within Unreal Engine 5 for a high-quality screenshot with proper shading, done by a friend)

@ColbyBadhwar Both of the current submissions suck. Hopefully BAE can bring something that carries the spirit of the BFV

🇺🇸 Some news on the US Army's Bradley replacement program. The Army issued a new RFI in February, opening the door to possibly re-competing requirement, rather than proceeding with an award of the XM30 contract to either Rheinmetall USA or General Dynamics Land Systems.

@mecha_romancer @ronkainen7k15 Pretty sure Ukraine already uses HMMWVs and vanilla ICVs in a fashion similar to how many others use IFVs. Doesn't make these 2 platforms, or the M1296, or the M1304, an IFV.

@ronkainen7k15 Ah yes Like how the m10 wasn't a tank If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck Then troops will use the duck as a duck

A commonly misunderstood point is labeling the M1296 Dragoon & M1304 MCWS as Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). In reality, neither is a typical IFV. Both are employed as infantry carriers fitted with a 30mm Medium Caliber RWS rather than purpose-built infantry fighting vehicles.

@_BulgarianBread @ronkainen7k15 @Volke__ Pretty much the same reason the BTR-82A is still an APC.

@ronkainen7k15 @Volke__ So the Dragoon is more or less just an up-gunned APC

@UselesPoliszguy @ronkainen7k15 It's not crewed and protected like an IFV

@ronkainen7k15 It isn't IFV because it's armed like IFV, carries troops like IFV but it isn't IFV because semantics

@EricZhu15029 @Defence_Index @Polar000077 Is that Ravenfield or what?

@fxtrader 说个笑话，其他国家还需要大量vpn吗

@Phantom__1__ @Dispropoganda It's not a dictatorship

@Dispropoganda Yeah, I know what you’re getting at, but the US is the central power in NATO. Europe is now massively rearming and there’s talk about bringing back conscription exactly what America wanted.
