Griffin II competes with the M8 and NGAFV-105 for the US Army's Mobile Protected Firepower program, a light tank for Infantry BCT.

Not sure of Jihad enough, but...

Great Kharkovite godlike tanks

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/87mv/NGc3PoEpo/ "The TARDEC Story: Sixty-five Years of Innovation 1946-2010", downloaded via some means from GoogleBooks, and ... welll, it lacks some 50 pages (out of 3 hundreed) which they do not show
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/KL5T/U8pbM6iL7 "The Bradley and how it Got that Way: Technology, Institutions, and the Problem of Mechanized Infantry in the United States Army", which GoogleBooks also has, - it also lacks about 50 pages (out of 2 hundreed)
 
Also, Archive.org has a some sort of online library, which allowes to borrow some of their scanned books - so one user could see that book, and enyone else willing to do the same at the same time should wait in line, as if it was not a bunch of .img/.png files but a real physical copy of the book. Anyway, among some things thay show that way,  there is a scan of Burton's Pentagon Wars https://cloud.mail.ru/public/A1qi/Yem6Npsi8
 
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/ES1e/pSRmx6NzH several dozens of articles and small notes (predominantly in english) on Bradley and tracked APCs and IFVs in general, and how they should be employed, which appeared in 50s-80s in those  magazines which I was able to find on the internet - mostly in Army, Armor, Infanry, Military Review, Soldiers, - and also some articles from newspapers like New York Times on scandals around Bradley development and acquizition

more books there https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Jjk9/mHuYG7piH

Now there are I guess about 40 volumes of Infantry available in full view on the same link,
and I've asked them about Army magazine and got 69 volumes so far https://books.google.ru/books?uid=115590142161999487031&as_coll=1006 - also they've denied my requests for 13 volumes (which are available on Hathitrust anyway).

Apparently they've also scanned some Soviet and Russian magazines - like this one https://books.google.ru/books?uid=115590142161999487031&as_coll=1010 (Soviet Miitary Review, english language edition of soviet propaganda magazine about Soviet Army) - also it seems to me that in this case copyright status is confusing and noone knows for sure whether it's in Public Domain or not, which is why my requests on that were mostly denied.
 
those and other "bookshelves" (folders) are available there https://books.google.ru/books?uid=115590142161999487031

Oh, and this is finally the heavy version from Rheinmetall
 

US tanks also occasionally have them, not just to protect the crew but also spare the topside equipment (such as antennas or even cameras) from being accidentally shorn off or damaged by low-hanging wires.
 

 
Those wire cutters are usually more commonplace on helicopters (to protect the main rotor mast), though.

Wire cutters? Americans used them too.

Wire cutters have been standard on most british vehicles for a while:

about the “Oplot”, I think this is a “triumph” of the T-64 series ... and its followers.  But this is not a 21st century tank.
 Morozov’s followers on both sides of the border sawn the old concept, time showed how far ahead of time it was.  But sometimes it is worth stopping and thinking about something new (I’m not talking about Armata and not even about T-95).

ISIS in Nigeria is planning to open their own museum of old tanks. For this purpose they captured additional Vickers MBT

You are a communist, Ivan! Communist looks into the sight - sees the enemy

I still remember what one ex-Soviet tank company commander told me after he went to Israel and served on Merkavas - "Agava sights are such type of sights where when you look in it, you are not sure if it is broken or should work like this"
