#1 My idea is to have a air-transportable vehicle and you build the armour out of concrete when you get to the destination.

Should stop IEDs and with a little bit of mixing magic EFPs.

#2 The vehicle weighs 140,000 pounds, more than twice as much as a Bradley and costs 4 times as much. It also weighs more than an M-1 Abrams and carries a 25 mm gun.

Too heavy, too expensive, not enough firepower.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
