- The Army's XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle program has awarded a contract for prototypes to General Dynamics Land Systems Inc. and American Rheinmetall Vehicles LLC. The contracts will prepare a vehicle to replace the M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, which is designed for reconnaissance and provides protection, transportation, and small-arms firepower.
Booker is not to replace M1 abrams. There is already a prototype for the next tank. The booker is a light tank. They are 2 distinct tanks
It did say it was to be a gap between the M1 and the Stryker.
I missed that. I thought he said it was to replace in one part. oh well.. no biggie, as long as we build it.😄@@robandcheryls
The booker is NOT a light tank. 🙄🤦♂️. It’s an infantry support gun.
Canada needs thousands of these. Including Bradley's ifv
IN THE MEANTIME... ( like the next 5 to 8 years) just put a 50 mm main gun on the Bradleys.
M10 booker is more expensive and carries a smaller cannon(105mm). What happens if it encounters enemy tanks with 125mm cannon?
M1 is still the best tank for the army for now. In terms of speed, firepower and armor protection, the m1 design has proven itself in engagements. It. Is also arguably cheaper in price tag vs M10 booker.
They will then deploy the same system as the Bradley and fire off a Hellfire missle or a TOW missle if they encounter heavy armor.
Keep in mind how much footage has come out of the war in Ukraine and how little of it involves tank on tank battle. That said, 105mm is a lot more than 25mm. And 25mm has proven effective at close range to current MBTs (not of a western design).
Immediate loss of credibility once it called the booker a lite tank 🤬. This has been addressed from day 1. It is NOT a tank. It’s an infantry support gun
They are not "MBTs" and They are not being replaced
It’s not air droppable like the Sheridan Booker makes sense for the USMC an LCAC can carry two of them and it’s weight might be just Reduced enough to negotiate beach landings in soft sand airborne troops should adopt some thing like the black knight the reduced weight might be enough to be Deployed with paratroopers
FYI - Rheinmetall isn't pronounced "rain-metal", but "rhine-me-tall".
True but as a German I dont mind. Raining Metal sounds way cooler than how its actually pronounced 😄..
Hopefully general dynamics will make big effort to get UK Ajax fixed and in service.
Lessons learnt will stand them well for the Griffin 3
The 50mm cannon firing programmable air-burst munitions is perfect for defeating troops in defilade like those in trenches or behind walls. If Ukraine had this capability, breaking thru Russian lines would be a lot simpler.
Don't be ashamed being a teenager, your knowledge is very good. But you should use your own voice, nit a synthetic voice.
Yep, we need newer tanks to face those T72s... $$$$
2S25 Sprut-SDM1 laughs in Russian
God forbid the army consolidates its platforms............
Unbelievable.
Well thar willbe a huge whole fill by dropping your MBT the Abram's with 120mm smooth bore cannon to go to a Light Tank with a 105mm smooth bore cannon you may find your self in deep shit with that mòve, l have seen the upgraded Abram's shown on UA-cam with a diesel engine auto loaded and far more.
M10 comes up against the Russian T14 by by A10.
Get rid of the computer voice….
Griffin looks horrible
Enough with the AI voice in the video
american military hardware is expensive, because of cuts, kickbacks, commissions, under the table😂
Mainly NIH and spread the love ( i.e. Spread the Dollariedoos to as many congress-critters' districts as possible .)
I was told that high commission rates cut down corruption. That's not necessarily true, though.
