Merkava tank production to stop within four years.

Leaders of the project decided that the benefits do not justify the cost of the product.

The combat support vehicle currently under development at the Ural Tank Factory may be a step in the right direction. However the firepower system envisaged for this vehicle, essentially a doubled 30 mm automatic cannon and four ATGMs, is far from ideal, and should be replaced with a 50-60 mm cannon that can fire fragmentation or shrapnel rounds with high explosive fill ratio and preformed subprojectiles.

It surprised me to hear a 98% successful interception rate for Trophy versus RPG's.

2. Are commando's part of the army, navy, or a SF group under it's own command?

3. Where do commando's mainly recruit from?

4. Are the royal marines also called commando's as well, making this whole thread pointless? feeds@yuku.com (saltandgin) http://jpspanzers.yuku.com/topic/754 Sat, 02 Sep 2006 07:08:27 GMT <![CDATA[ M-1A1SA ]]> http://jpspanzers.yuku.com/topic/751/t/M-1A1SA.html learned some lessons in Iraq.
