VN-20 Infantry Fighting Vehicle Most Fightingiest Fighting Vehicle!



At a thick fifty tons, the VN-20 MULTI-ROLE HEAVY DUTY Infantry Fighting Vehicle outweights the puny BMP, Bradley, and even the thick Puma and easily outclasses the anemic yet portly Namer. It (allegedly) has Level Six STANAG ballistic protection meaning even 30mm armor piercing cannon fire cannot penetrate its powerful chassis (at ranges of 500 meters or higher).

It comes with a half dozen different weapon emplacements including a 100mm cannon, a 30mm co-axial cannon, two ATGM missile launchers on the turret, abd two remote controlled rear facing heavy machine guns.

Wait two rear facing heavy machine guns?

On either side of the rear door??

*shrug*

With three crewmembers to operate and can carry six fully equipped infantrymen or twenty malnourished Red Guards.

Okay I made that last part up. But it could be true.

Heavy infantry carriers like that or the Merkva are good at a defensive war in a confined region, but bad if you strategic needs call for some get up and go. The more common formula for an IFV is essentially a self propelled heavy machinegun nest that is immune to small arms. Its a formula that work because it has a good balance between costs and benefits.

No, that's the description of an average APC, M113, Stryker and BTR are not IFVs.
Sure, if someone can handle the cost and logistical demands of having a certain number of IFVs with the material support needs of a tank that's gonna work fine for them... if.

Yeah this is happening.

 

[DarthOne]

Yeah this is happening.

Meanwhile, in the West, kids are taught gender theory, LGBTQ propaganda and multicultural wokist nonsense.

While I’m not saying I want to have western kids taught to chat ‘kill X!’, there’s a middle ground between that and what they’re taught now which is much, much healthier.

The Chinese are pulling a world war 2 Japan territory making the populace hate the US because they see us as enemies.

To be fair, we are.

Any martial training taught to a child should be done by the parents if they want their kid to have certain skills. I am not a fan of the state teaching children such things.

To be fair, we are.

The only reason why that is a thing is because China wants to rule the world. They see anyone who is not Han Chinese as lesser beings And that everything on Earth belongs to them. The US is kinda standing in the way of that dream.

Agreed on all points.

 

[Tiamat]

Yeah this is happening.

Distressingly familiar, it is. Japan was teaching something like this not long before WW2. History continues to rhyme.

Deep Dive into the CCP Navy corruption and technical issues.

This is the public consumption demo. I will bet you $100 Dollars cash money and actual way more advanced squad of Robots that make this thing look like a toy already exists.

That's CGI. Corridor is an internet hobbyist studio. They also made a movie about Boston Dynamics' finest fighting back against the torments of Hockey Stick Guy.

That said, you're not wrong per say about robotic infantry. Both the Americans and Chinese have their own actual versions.

Oh this is going to end in a nightmare.

 

[PsihoKekec]

That is if the maintenance backlog does not do the USN in.

Tell us more about this.

 

[Husky_Khan]

Tell us more about this.

Wrong thread for it I think unless there's been a change in power I'm unaware of recently.

 

[PsihoKekec]

Tell us more about this.

GAO report for 2022 notes increase in ships waiting for both repairs and regular maintenance, the trend that has been going for over a decade. While it's normal to have 20-30% of ships undergoing maintenance at any time, the only way the USN can sustain current commitments is by declaring ships in need of maintenance as mission ready.

Yeah, we need rebuild our naval industrial capacity.

Good luck with that.

I wonder if War Thunder is responsible for these leaks as well.
