Would the Jaguar be a good replacement for the Marines LAV25 in the Armored Recon battalions?
>>64229025No, and for two extremly simple reasons: 1. the LAV carries troops, the EBRC doesn't; 2. the LAV is amphibious, the EBRC isn't.
>>64229073The LAV25 carries 3-4 dismount scouts.The French pair 3 Jaguars and 3 VBL scout cars in a troop, the scouts could be in an accompanying scout car.
>>64229025Jaguar has smaller IR signature. Armament and sensor is setup question but I think Jaguar can carry heavier turret then LAV25
>>64229025>light-armoured vehicle with loads of ammo when the modern battlefield is a swarm of drones that can smoke it in minutes...Lmao unc is still fighting desert coons in the mid 2000s.
>>64229114it has a 40mm gun and two ATGM, LAV25 has 25mm gun - ATGM is in a seperate weapons platoon
>>64229025Marines are refitting to essentially be a mobile missile force to take island chains around Taiwan and launch missile strikes on Chinese ships and aircraft or intercept missile strikes. I don't know if the Jaguar fits that mission profile.
>>64229025No.
>>64229209This, we aren't fighting inland with terrestrial threats anymore.
>>64229088Ok, and that's not how LAR does things.If anything, the replacement will be just another AMV Clone
This is the 10th fucking time this week that you've made a jaguar thread you disgusting frogfucker, find some new material.
