Description
In the 80s & 90s the US military had good ideas then threw them out.
The new Eurotanks(Russia T14,Germany & France MGCS) will have auto loaders. The MGCS will also have a 130mm cannon.
While the DODs idea of a new tank is adding crap to the M1. The A3 won't arrive until sometime after 2030.
Not T-15, but T-14. T-15 is an IFV(BMPT replacement to be correct)
Fixed.
BMPT not be in Russian Armed Forces, only operator of BMPT - Kazahstan. RF still use BMP-1, 2 and 3.
off-topic
T-15 seems to be designated as a heavy AFV, with the Kurganets-25 simply being an "AFV". BMPT project is still around, it just hasn't been fully adopted. I think it's an excellent idea for some of the older T-72 hulls.
And I deleted a convo by accident when I wanted to fix my own grammar errors. Modbd needs a better commenting system.
