The Army should kill its light tank before enemies do that for us.
The U.S. Army is preparing a soldier vehicle assessment of two different light tank prototypes for infantry brigade combat teams that will start in January 2021 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
The assessment will run through June 2021, according to the service.
BAE Systems and General Dynamics Land Systems were chosen in December 2018 to each build 12 prototypes of the Army’s future mobile protected firepower, or MPF, vehicle identified in the service’s ground combat vehicle strategy published in 2015. The service had found the capability one the service lacks.
I eagerly await the outcome of the test to see which vehicle provides a more spectacular catastrophic kill explosion when hit to become the official Future Burned Out Hulk prototype.
Just give our infantry brigades actual Abrams tanks, as I wrote in Army magazine.
