So this is pretty random thought I had. Do Stryker A1s actually have a numeric designation? Because I'm curious if it'd be M1126A1, M1256A1, or M1296A1? Or are they just sticking to XXXX-A1?
They weren't lying when they said it'd have scaled down Abrams turret. It does look better than I thought though. although I'm still rooting for the M8
Lookin' good. Is that one that's finally been delivered to an active unit? Wonder how long those mudflaps are going to stay though. I can see that going the way of the old retaining rings
Also seems like the 2018 SETC starts tomorrow, anybody got any details on the participates this year?
Just from some casual googling it looks like it's going to be Austria, America, UK, France, Sweden, German, Germany, Poland, and Ukraine.
I prefer the Tri color woodland, but a solid olive is nice too, certainly better than desert tan. That tank looks like it's finally the tan sandblasted off too, so the green looks much better. If they did paint over the tan they did a much better job than the some other Abrams I've seen.
