Thursday, March 18, 2004| Strategy Page reported that the Army has dispatched 8 prototype units of the M8 Armored Gun System to Iraq, to provide armor for the 82nd Airborne. The M8 has been cancelled / in limbo, and some hope that demonstration of performance by this light tank might get it back into the Army's budget. Apparently the Stryker Brigades (composed of uparmored LAVs) are performing well in Iraq, despite some initial doubts about their armor. Strategy page reports some Stryker's have sustained and survived RPG hits by guerilla fighters. |
