how to fix this latest mistake?
>>65136047woops, wrong picI'm thinking, at least fabric covers and HVAC, because why not arrive a bit more fresh and less weather beaten. You know the plan will be "high speed low drag" but reality will be "hurry up and wait, and wait some more".How about a Hi-Low mix instead.Diesel powered Toyota Rav4 prime and Dodge 3500 Cummings/Allison diesel 4x4 crew cab.
>>65136053>>65136047This thing isn't a cope APC like uparmored humvees nor a replacement for normal ass transports, it's a disposable and airdroppable "get out of arty/drone range quicker" set of wheels to just give to units that aren't doing high intensity shit
>>65136209It was designed before drone era.
>>65136047>>65136053There is nothing wrong with this so long as it's used in a conventional war behind the front. The only problem is the US doesn't do conventional war and keeps getting into counter insurgency by trying regime change.
>>65136295Nigger we've been using drones for over 20 years at this point. Obama was often called the drone president for how much he loved launching predator missles on dune coons
>>65136341NTA but you didn't need to worry about Achmed using his MQ-1 Predator to launch Hellfire missiles. Things have changed with low cost drones being easily produced by countries with minimal industry.
>>65136343But man wouldn't that have been fun to have predator on predator dogfights? This is the future the chinks stole from you
>>65136053too bad Trump chickened out on deploying troops to Iran. niggas burning in one those these from FPV drones would have been kino
>>65136341>20 yearsJFK's brother was killed flying a drone in WW2. They have been around way longer than 20 years.
>>65136053>fabric covers and HVACDone. Hardy, knife-proof, unremovable covers are added and the radiator exhaust is always piped into the cabin when the engine is on-target like in the Volkswagen Kübelwagen. There are no window flaps.
>>65136903True, UAVs go back almost as long as planes themselves, but UAVs only really came to prominence during GWOT. That was the point where "drone warfare" was coined as a term
>>65136053it's giving M3A1
>>65136053There's nothing wrong with this. Everyone who will be riding in these would be walking otherwise. It's not a humvee/JLTV replacement, it's a golf cart for footsloggers.
>>65137832At what point did you stop defending the M10?
>>65136951>compass cope
>>65137840The only problem with the M10 was the contract terms. If you want an example of a bad procurement program, look at the M7.
>>65136209Why not a motorcycle? Heck, an EV motorcycle plus some solar panels.
>>65136341>Nigger we've been using drones for over 20 years at this point.Against opposition. Not against you and your infantry transport. This thing wasn't designed to survive against Reapers launching hellfires against it."Drone era" is post 2022 when people start to realize everyone can buy bunch of components in China and make Temu drones to attack your infantry and it's transport. And it would be cheaper than making RPG.
>>65136053>implying it’s broken… didn’t the jeep code get cracked during the last world war? Between it and the liberator we’ve known what works for going on a hundred years now. kids in secondary education up and down the acceptance rating have figured what’s needed improving in the interim. All you can do is remove the red tape and dashboard labubu’s
>>65136951Not for lack of trying.Both WW2 and Vietnam saw experimental battlefield use of armed drones but the technology wasn't there yet.One actually made it to serial production but in a very limited role that really isn't what we consider a UCAV today and it's performance was marginal.
>>65136305>as it's used in a conventional war behind the frontWhich it won't. Retards will use this in war zone. Again. Soldiers will start doing nigger riggered uparmoring. Again.MIC will react and make factory uparmored variants. Again.MIC will reinvent something fit to purpose like MRAPs. Again.Conclusions will be forgotten and a new light vehicle will be made afterwards. Again.
