    AMPV mortar carrier being tested at Yuma.

    Not to scale and not at the same angle, I used the best looking pictures I could find at the time I made it (M724A1E1 is now M724A2). I left out the M416 WP round because I couldn't find anything about it still being in use.

    The 105mm M68 gun, not a 105mm howitzer. As far as I am aware the US just has 'dumb' ammunition in stock. Airburst as in it explodes at a set distance and sprays the target area with fragments. My assumption is they want a single round to replace HEP/HEAT/Canister.

    The Pentagon reverses the planned 2019 deadline on limiting cluster weapon use to weapons with 99%+ reliability. This also applies to artillery like DPICM.

    I missed this but back in August a feeler was put out for an airburst capable 105mm round. Presumably it would be for both the MPF and Stryker MGS. IMI is the only company I am aware of offering such a round. ATK does make a multipurpose round but I don’t consider a proximity fuse to be airburst.

    I find it interesting that out of everything Trump said they chose “Trump doesn’t have high expectations” to justify taking their ball and going home.

    If we are talking active guidance and not INS/GPS my opinion is that -I am really disappointed the XM1111 MRM got cancelled in a rash of short sighted cost cutting. -Guided rounds fall into the special purpose niche that gun launched ATGMs do. -Programmable airburst rounds (both the HE and KE variety) seem to have superseded guided rounds due to cost effectiveness. -NLOS is an attractive potential.

    Not to defend O’Keefe’s motivations, but I have to ask a philosophical question. If O’Keefe uses a shady method to reveal a bias or narrative, does that shady method invalidate the ‘whistleblowing’? Edit: To give an example, if WaPo had ran this story would the lack of due diligence/fact-checking/journalistic ethic be excused because O’Keefe tricked them.

    They must be a bit more wary of bait now that O'Keefe has caught them several times with the Russia nothingburger.

    When your career is in the toilet surely the best way to become un-"blacklisted" is to make everyone think you are a psycho and a crybully.

    I haven’t read the thread, did anyone point out that if the second comic is Islamophobic it means the first comic is misandrist?

    The RFP for the Mobile Protected Firepower vehicle was finally published.

    The headline is intentional, for all the media’s handwringing they are more than willing to do the same lies / misleading statements / hyperbole they attack Trump for.

    Well it's past the 19th in most time zones, I think it's safe to say we survived another prophesied collision with Nibiru. 'When' they find Planet Nine they need to name it Nibiru just to mess with conspiracy theorists.

    Yemen is probably going to last a long time as a proxy.

    The way Reddit names things vs. the way 4chan does, /pol instead of /pol/.

    A redditor visits 4chan.

    The 15 (eventually 16) ABCTs include the National Guard units. My understanding is there are 1,605 M1A2 SEP/SEPv2 and 791 M1A1 SA, with the rest being older M1A1s. The USMC only has 3 active tank battalions out of their 403 M1A1 FEP. This isn't accounting for the new SEPv3 made out of M1A1s.
