We need a FAAFO smiley around here.

I have a subdued patch laying around somewhere that has the caption "f**k around" across the top and "find out" across the bottom.
In the center is a Honey Badger.

The 113 is a good vehicle. The 113A3? Excellent vehicle that is possibly the best of the "battle taxis" made.

The M3 is perhaps the best "battle taxi" around.

This is by no means putting the one-thirteen down, as it's been proven worthy on many levels.

The M2/M3 are not battle taxis though. They're IFVs and that's a very different type of vehicle that is best used in _very_ different ways.

Of course, it depends on the Bradley variant, which could carry almost half the heads of the one-thirteen's capacity.

But if push came to shove, I'd rather be rattled about in a Bradley, as it can fight back on a much higher level.

Gladly we're sending some 50 Bradleys too. 25mm chain gun, troop transport capability, and let's stick some ATGMs on it too.

America should renege on the sale of F-35s to them, then.

I agree.

Third lot of Ukraine-destined M113 variants arriving from the US now/soon also. Was watching some of them load the other day.

The article didn't say what the equipment was, but checking equipment made by Switzerland finds that Spain has several Swiss made AFVs: Piranha III and Piranha V - Spain also is a user of Swiss made shouldered weapons, too.

If anyone has any shares in Swiss weapons manufacturers, I suggest you sell them now because no country is going to buy anything else from them.

Only their languages. As has been noted more than once...

Most definitely. Anyone interested in the history of English language should read this:

Ukraine says Russian troops are marching over bodies of their own dead in Soledar

Russia says its forces are edging closer to capturing a salt-mining town in eastern Ukraine, which would mark an elusive victory for the Kremlin but come at the cost of heavy Russian casualties and extensive destruction of the territory they claim.

Let's not forget the English language is classified as a Germanic language.

The book in question goes well beyond that
