KomradeX posted:Isn't the Bradley replacement even bigger than the Bradley. It sounds like they literarily did Pentagon Wars with that one From what i can find there isn’t one anymore. Just cancellation after cancellation until they threw up their hands and said ‘uh we’ll replace everything including the m1 in 2035’

Looks like its going ahead but delayed from this year to 2025, then delayed again till production start 2030 so yeah 2035 sounds about right for general adoption https://www.defensenews.com/land/2021/10/11/us-army-gets-its-first-look-at-bradley-replacement-options/ At least some of the delay appears to be because the mic got pissy with the military expecting the arms companies to front some of the cost causing it to fall through and the military to apologise and offer more of their own funding KomradeX posted:I must have missed that, they mentioned it on an episode of Well There's Your Problem last year. I didn't realize it had been cancelled Yeah sorry cancelled wasn’t the right word, just significantly delayed

Filthy Hans posted:apart from grift, I don't see the point of lighter tanks, the Abrams is 70 tons partially because it carries enough armor and equipment to stop man-portable antitank weapons generally the best way to survive is to not get hit even for tanks the best bet is to not test the armor. Light tanks are made with the assumption they'll survive long enough to complete missions

yeah the whole thing with Ukraine gives me the impression this is the first moves against China and why the west can't keep a lid on wanting Russia broken up. China is an aberration on neoliberal domination. There isn't supposed to be another way to live. But there is China. And they loving hate it for that. I don't see how the tension doesn't spiral into something worse with the future climate crisis and/or resource shortages.

KomradeX posted:Ukraine war has made it easier for US to isolate China in the Pacific at the very least they're being remarkably open about their true intent almost every geopolitical crisis of today centers around containing China. I'd just have thought they'd want to keep up at least some political facade for the sake of diplomacy. I don't get why China isn't just openly sending weapons to Russia at this point. Cats out the bag.

i think they tested it in so much as they dropped one in a pool of water and it didn't immediately flood whether it would work when dropped in the channel and you were totally blind and had limited time to reach the coast and then hope you can actually drive up and out... ehhh i would let someone else do it
