Looks like clockwork.

Looks like they're well drilled.

Still takes too long.  Once this is detected...and on the modern battlefield a river crossing will be detected...then it can be killed.

Combat Engineers have got to figure out a better way.

Gross pilot error.

I wonder how many batteries they go thru a day.

The Marine Corps should buy a few "squad recharger banks"!

We all focused on the RWS on the ACV. They did something with the "armor" too...

Look at both pics. Tried to get them coming out of the water. Did you notice the difference (besides the turret mounted weapon...don't be a smart ass).

Still don't see it?  Check out this pic of one on land.

Still don't see it?  Geez, you guys aren't paying attention.  Ok.  I'll highlight it for ya.

We were all focused on the RWS but it appears they added what I'm GUESSING is hydrodynamic improvements to the vehicle.

I'm going in that direction because of the mission set.  Sustained land combat is out right?  I was kinda leaning toward maybe a beefed up armor package but .... Hell I don't know.  What do you guys think?

This coach is 100% stud! Freaking awesome work.

You should have already heard the story. If not then do a google search. The pic says it all but the video is even more impressive. This coach is 100% stud. Freaking awesome work.

Random acts of crime...

Lawrence Gaillard, a patient advocate at the Atlanta VA, brutally beat 73 yr old Vietnam Veteran. This man is still employed by the VA. This is sickening. Who is protecting our vets? Fulton County DA Fanni Willis what say you? @fultoninfo @DeptVetAffairs pic.twitter.com/5oiwifJ2eD

Germany triggers the "alert level" of the gas emergency plan.

JUST IN - Germany triggers the "alert level" of the gas emergency plan. The country is now in short supply, natural gas is used as a weapon by Russia against us, says economy minister Habeck.

Ok. My readers want max shoot & scoot capability on wheeled artillery vehicles? Then you want BAE's Archer

ARCHER’s armored cabin makes it safer to operate the 155mm mobile howitzer from inside the vehicle. ARCHER allows soldiers to provide long-range fire and quickly depart its position for increased survivability—to “shoot and scoot.”#ARCHER #howitzer #Eurosatory2022 pic.twitter.com/rUW0hShb98

Logistics is gonna have to be on point. I believe it carries only 18 rounds ready to go (need to check but no time). But if shooting and scooting is the key to survival then this is hard to beat.

FNSS product overview...

Note. I'm an unashamed fan of FNSS. Great products and they're working hard to be the best everyday. Glad to see them putting out vids again.
