re: #134 wlewisiii

Interesting thought. Can you point to a link about the Russians & the 113? I, personally, always hated the damn death traps. The aluminium armor was worse than useless and the lack of real fire power was a serious problem.

Of course only the US could go from bad to worse with the Bradley system. Finally realizing the problems there they go and buy the worst of the bunch in the Stryker.

I am _so_ glad I am not still on active duty.

I’ll look when I get a chance. But it was a ‘Soviet’ vehicle in many ways: Designed to be cheap and easy to maintain, its comparatively easy to use and effective if used correctly. In fact, it is still in production today.
