At this point Russia and China (and Iran for that matter) can just run around and do whatever they want... Sure the little guy might a get a missile/bomb here and there but they will never be touched and they know it.

I definitely foresee a huge increase in sales for South Korea

The APC shortage in Russia must be getting serious if they're using tank chassis as makeshift APCs along with motorcycles.

Didn’t Israel do the same with old Sherman’s and captured T something or other?

⚡️ The Russian Federation transferred 30,000 troops to the Kursk direction from Ukraine, — Syrsky

According to the commander, Ukrainian fighters continue to advance. To date, 100 settlements have been taken under control in Kurshchyna, and 594 Russian servicemen have already been captured.

However, the Russians are only increasing their efforts in the Pokrovsky direction.

What about an SPG that doesn't have the full armored turret, sporting a long range 105 gun, maybe based on a larger vehicle than the HMMV?

I'm sure they will work it out if that becomes a requirement. They are one of at least 4 other companies I know offering the lower cost cruise missiles for the U.S. and allies.

Using $100,000 short range air to air missiles to take down Russian million dollar cruise missiles is still on the good side of the cost curve.

Russia is preparing a base to deploy personnel and launch an attack towards Zhytomyr, Berdychiv, Vinnytsia, Kryzhopil, and potentially further, coordinating with a strike from Transnistria. It seems that the Russians have such plans. Meanwhile, Lukashenko is either signaling that an attack could come from that direction or is not in control of the situation, as the Belarusian army is insufficient for such an operation, SBU Colonel Mykhailo Prytula said.

That thing looks awesome. It's interesting how S. Africa always has excellent artillery designs. I also liked the SA Denel 556 and 762 ammo when it was available. I forgot the commercial brand name. Too bad they are turning commie/fascist.

I think the Israeli concept of the heavy APC is great. If it doesn't need to be air-mobile, like US designs, then add in all the weight/protection you can. I specially like how they used all those captured T54/55 chassis.

But I'm sure a lot of changes will need to be made to the concept due to the new drone threat.
