Missiles and shoulder fired stuff coming at you like a hive of bees.
Why doesn’t the Bradley fill this role?
The final result...
How about a 152mm on an under 20 ton vehicle. We did that with the Sheridan and it was not fun. Also screwed up the missile guidance system. Worked well enough on an M-60 chassis, the M-60A2.
One big problem with big tanks like the Abrams, is they are too heavy for most Third World bridges, and too wide for slot of roads. They are great for Europe and the deserts of the Middle East, though.
Been there, had that. The T-92. The Army got the Sheridan instead.
AMX-13 - French
Brit - Scorpion light tank. I get the needs, but there are a host of other things, IMO< more important than another pork-barrel Beltway Bandit fund-fest.
Which came first? The design of the T-92 or the French AMX-13?
