As this appears to remove about 300 degrees of turret traverse, its essentially indicating that one of WWII’s more effective and lower cost AFV’s, the turretless tank destroyer, should see a significant renaissance in it’s creation, production and use with these “sheds” over them...

And the whole low cost high mobility drone and UAV field may end up putting the whole AFV environment back up for battlefield evolutionary grabs. Drones are probably going to end up being far more effective and engaging the light vehicle/on-foot heavy AT teams firing more sophisticated missiles than they will be in punching through these tracked Quonset huts which themselves will start seeing more active vehicle to vehicle engagements.

Lower cost AFV’s? Looks like Ivan is being creative to keep himself relevant. But none of these variations can survive a buzz by a Ground Hog. Tell me again why our dumbass Air Farce is wanting to retire them?
