M113 Gavins on roads: high speed tracks dynmicpara

[almostconcerned]

Those little 113s also get between the trees easier than the Bradleys. I know that from personal experience.

[andrekrepsky]

It looks like brazilian army, but could be another south american country as they share similar trucks and road signs.

[blzhang]

hmm what country is this? it allows m113 to go on public roads without escorts?

[John234pwns]

Well, honestly speaking, a large IED / mine could easily immobile a Gavin. But, it'd do the same to a Stryker or Bradley, and much worse to a Humvee.

The M113 does seem to have significant advantages in other categories.

The Israelis use them quite effectively, that should mean something.

[dynmicpara]

That advantage Strykers and Brads do not have is CROSS-COUNTRY MOBILITY to AVOID the land mines in the first place.

[mathiastheok]

The politicians gave the Army a choice:

STRYKER wheeled vehicles.

Or shopping carts with trash can lids zip tied to their sides.

Both offer the same mobility and force protection.

Time to go back to tracks....

Well there you have it --- time for the US military to get back of the "fast track"!
