PM: Several images taken at a U.S. Army workshop show a very rough idea of a possible replacement for the long-serving M1 Abrams tank. The images seem to depict at least three concept tanks, including one behemoth that dwarfs the 70-ton Abrams. The Army plans to make a decision about if and how to replace the Abrams in 2023.
he event, a three-day workshop, was held in early October at the U.S. Army’s Ground Vehicle Systems Center at Detroit Arsenal. According to the Army, the event paired soldiers “with a team of industrial designers and Subject Matter Experts” to explore topics “from crew size to unmanned and autonomous considerations.” The team also “explored levels of desired lethality, mobility, and survivability applied to a number of concept platforms.” more here
I saw the headline and thought artillery. I saw the photo and can’t stop laughing
How so you get to 285? Eat a lot of snacks and drink lots of Coke, use drive in’s a lot.
Hopefully with a crew of 3 and Reliable Auto load.
It would be a huge advantage if it also was less of a fuel pig for improved range and less likely to out run the fuel trucks.
You already passed 285 a while back…
Praying the TRUTH TANK will be mowing over the fraudsters.

Every person who was involved in any of the many fraud schemes needs to be prosecuted. Send a strong message to those who think voting more than once is no biggie.

Back in the early 90’s I was a non-traditional college student at GA Southern which is 45 miles from Ft Stewart. I was in the guard and using my GI Bill for college. I also would shop at the commissary on Ft Stewart. I was going for groceries and traveling down the road by the ranges and tank trails. I was running 55mph and had a tank pass me on the tank trail that ran parallel to the road. That and video of Tankers in Desert Storm impress me.
LOL…. GREAT LINK…..LOL
Links to an article with blurred out pictures of the competing tank designs. clicking on links from that page brings you to a subscription page that you MUST join before you can go any further.
Please oh PLEASE do NOT turn into the drudge…. with a page full of useless links that only leads to “stories/pictures” that you cannot access without paying money AND disabling your ad-blockers before you spend the 3 seconds you wanted to spend checking out the info that made you click the link in the first place!!!
If your “source” article requires membership to view can you put a money sign next to it so people know NOT to waste their time or identify it in some other easy way so your faithful readers do not smash anymore keyboards in frustration and/or anger over yet another screw-job and theft of seconds of our lives we will never get back from the new clickbate (pay-per-view links) of the 2020’s?!?!?
there….rant over. At least this keyboard survived the Monday morning piss-off.
Related, Stephen Colbert’s sole guest tonight is Tank Abrams.
If you guessed that he is inviting her on to roll her around in flour and look for the wet spot to congratulate her for singlehoofedly turning Georgia blue…well, congratulations. Because that image is my appetite suppressant today.
I see that the army has made great strides in optical camouflage, I found it difficult to focus on the models, so imagine how hard it will be for targeting systems.
If you field dressed her, her gut pile would weigh more than most women.
