@troglodyte righto ! noted . But unless a certain war machinery is tried and tested in a real war like scenario no one can gauze its capabilities Beside US as always has the all mighty DOLLAR doing the talk .Buying the best and equipping their armies is no big deal with that sort of money . US raised its already-gargantuan defence budget for the first time in seven years, ending an era of belt-tightening imposed by Congress. The boost reflected the Trump administration’s embrace of what it calls “great power competition” with Russia and China— and is committing vast sums to its armed forces. Over $600 billion which equates to the total spends if seven countries defence budget is put together Does it have to be outrageously expensive when their spendings are so high earmarked only and only as the Defence Budget

@blucon
Survivable? Tell that to the GIs who were in Iraq. For no reason,
the U.S. Army did not buy the outrageously expensive M-ATV . . .

@troglodyte High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles are mainly used to distract and cause diversions HMMWVs are maintainable, reliable and survivable.It must perform in a wide variety of terrain, from deserts to jungles, for long periods of time, with minimal maintenance. It has to carry its cargo and occupants in safety while dodging instruments of war — bullets, bombs and mines. They are for a specific purpose and many countries have them in their inventory Landmines on the other hand are highly deceptive and unless the path isn't booby trapped everything is fine but the minute any vehicle goes over it can get blown to smitreens in a second .

A typical problem with such lightly armored vehicles: Some military
genii consider them combat vehicles, which they just aren't. Was alrea-
dy strictly forbidden in the Wehrmacht, but hardly anyone stuck to it . . .
