M113 Gavin with Applique' Armor IDF Tank-Infantry Exercise

Military Channel Top Ten APCs, the M-113 was ranked number 1. I had a blast being a TC on one in Germany in the 70s. Shooting the MA deuce was just as fun.

"I was a 19D Scout for 11 years, the first six on 113s, then the piece of s**t Brads. For Scouts, it couldn't get worse than the Bradley....too big, too heavy, too loud, too complex, and too slow to keep up with the M1s it's supposed to support. A 113A3 runs rings around it, the only advantage a Brad has is firepower, but if you're a bigger target than a tank without the armor to take hits like a tank, a Brad's firepower doesn't mean a thing."

The Israelis, Egyptians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Saudis, Iranians, Kuwaitis, Iraqis, and Pakistanis may not like each other, but there is one thing they ALL universally agree upon that is reflected in the composition of thier respective militaries --- they ALL agree that the M113 Gavin is the best APC in the world!
