JNT11593 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Nice, any word on when LPCROWS will make its way to Europe or Korea? I want to see it with a superior woodland aesthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramlaen Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 BAE Systems has submitted its proposal to the U.S. Army to build and test the Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF) vehicle for use by the Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT).

JNT11593 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Good lord that's sexy. I seriously hope the U.S. Army selects it, and I can't think of a good reason they wouldn't. It's the only purposed built light tank. Has been ready for production since the 90s, domestically designed and built, and I'd imagine if the need arose the could drop the XM360E1 in it for addition firepower, even if ammo capacity did take a hit.

The camo there looks decidedly Chinese. I like the thing and find it funny that after 25-some years and one cancellation it still has a chance of being adopted. 4 minutes ago, Ramlaen said: I never realized they reloaded it like that.

Scolopax Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I can't say I've thought to much about it, but I guess I always assumed a truck or something would pull up along side (outside of combat) and they'd reach over and load it from there. The above makes a lot more sense. I've never seen a reload for the setup on the M901 and LAV-AT. I assume it is similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious if the M8 having been type classified would allow BAE to skip some of the testing song and dance. There also doesn’t seem to be an independent commanders sight.

Surprised you didn't say Nordic as patterns similar to that one have been a common sight on Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish vehicles for years now. (In Norway's case it was introduced already in the late 80s, and even though plain green has been slowly taking over since the early 2000s, it's still around). But anyway, love to see the M8 making comeback. Looks wicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
