Looks plenty bad ass.
They’ll get the bugs out.
Bet it’s a tight squeeze in the back.
From the article...
-
“... Bofors based 40-millimeter autocannon ...
... autocannon ... rate of fire ... 300 rounds per minute ...
... autoloading carousel ... 24 ready rounds can be reloaded quickly ...”

Am I reading this right?
300 rounds/minute = 5 rounds/second.
24 rounds of 40mm fired in 5 seconds?
Good. They won’t need us anymore.
Two words: pentagon wars.
The A-10. Love it. Who out there has the most tanks to take out? I don’t think the Norks have the gasoline.
Jeez, we ought to open the production lines up again.
The Marine’s need them.
Why does South Korea need a light APC?
They are not a superpower deploying on short notice around the globe.
If you are in a shooting match in an APC, you have already lost. You have to protect 10 people instead of 3 or 4.
Use feet, helicopters or trucks to get the Infantry to the battlefield, then use big, tough and dependable APCs to close with the enemy.
That’s the way the IDF does it. Converted tanks as APC’s. Great protection. Compatible speeds. If you don’t have to fight “away games” thus is the way to protect your mechanized infantry and support your tanks.
Have you ever been on the Korean Ground, in Uniform as an Imfamtryman?
I can't even pronounce that. :-)
I remember lots of rice paddies.
No, I didn’t go to boot camp until years later. Fort Benning had some nasty swamps, though. I’ll take a ride any time.
With the exception of manpower, they don't have much of anything. Their air force consists of leftovers from the 50's and 60's, and Russian hand-me-downs from the 70's and 80's.......
That old adage that an army marches on it's stomach is true, their country is starving and so would their military if they would be stupid enough to go to war again.
Militarily they haven't advanced at all in the past 50 years but yet they posture and bluster for their own people with their military parades and constantly threaten S. Korea........
The financially prosperous S. Korea wouldn't have any problem with them..........
Yep, you are correct. That will put a hurt on you! Imagine the air burst shells fired at troops... 24 HE air burst shells in 5 seconds, there goes a few squads!
