Our own Army still operates 6000 M-113s. Those are a 1960 design. Israel uses 500 of them. And then we need to talk about the B-52. You know, as in 1952!
And did you know AK-47s date back from the late 40s? And lord, that geriatric AR-15 design from 1962.
And if you add together, 1950, 6000, 113, 47 and 1952, they add up to 9062! And if you divide that by four, it comes to 2265.5.
So that means they will keep fighting until the year 2265 when the war will end in June of that year.
I am so glad that you and your Farrakhan warfare numerology has opened my eyes.
Yeah. And how many US Army infantry units are equipped with M1113s as armored personnel carriers in 2023? None.
How many US Army infantry units are equipped with M1113A1s as armored personnel carriers in 2023? None.
How many US Army infantry units are equipped with M1113A2s as armored personnel carrier in 2023? None.
How many US Army infantry units are equipped with M1113A3s as armored personnel carriers in 2023? I do not know the answer to that. But I suspect the answer is none.
Are there lots of M1113A2s and M1113A3s on the Army's books? Sure. But they are mortar carriers, command posts, cargo carriers, repair and recovery vehicles, or moving dismounts for armored units, and the like. And they have been upgraded significantly since the M113. And US Army infantry units aren't sending infantry squads into combat in them.
But go ahead, watch the video, and then tell post to your fellow Freepers how is demonstrates Russia's strength.
Do talk. Tell me, just how many radio tubes are in the B-52s flying today. What rank is the guy, err, airman, who mans the .50 machine guns in the tail?
Everything in a B-52, except portions of the frame, has been replaced, often many times over.
You may be on to something with the numerology. You executed it badly. And should not have combined it with an attempt at a substantive answer. But it at least shows a spark of imagination, and stands in contrast to the paint-by-numbers hackery of your fellow Putin [REDACTED].
