There is some debate on how exactly to classify the Sprut. The Spurt would not be classified as an IFV since it does not carry an infantry squad. The debate is whether the Spurt is a light tank, Tank Destroyer or ?

In a hypothetical modern battlefield between 2 peer level foes. you would see MBTs at the forefront and very few, if any light tanks.

Or that firing the shells knocked the missile fire control out of alignment. Or that the Caseless Main Gun Ammo left a smoldering bag that had to be manually extracted. Or how firing the main gun lifted the front of the tank clear off the ground.

The US Tank Destroyer Doctrine also placed a premium on speed to counter blitzkrieg style breakthroughs. A bigger gun and smaller profile don’t mean much if you can’t get there fast enough to effect the outcome. The M10 could do 30 miles on roads, but it was a re-purposed Sherman Hull and gun for the M6 heavy tank.

Light tanks are pretty rare on the modern battlefield. With the exception of the 2s25 Sprut and some cold war left overs like the PT-76 and derivatives or the FV101 Scorpion. the Light Tank role has been usurped by IFV, ATGM vehicles and 8x8 LAV like the Italian B1 Centauro or Stryker MGS.

Light Tank or Airborne Tank

You do have to give him a little credit for hijacking Anthony Wiener’s Press Conference.

That sounds like Bombs Away LeMay. LeMay would have supported post war reconstruction efforts only so he would have something to bomb next time.

Why isn’t Matthew McConaughey driving a Lincoln?

A lot of times down here, in those situations of no license, registration or insurance. You can add no green card to the list of reasons for drivers to want to avoid the police.

Can’t go wrong with a few hours of Richard Pryor.

I’ve never tried it either, mostly because I hate dealing with the traffic in that area.

I live in Fort Worth and I agree.

yes, because the President has an (R) after his name.

Yeah, I drove by the one off of 20 and Cooper, going to Work and UTA and that drive thru was packed any time after opening.

Braums is only available with in 300 iirc miles of their dairy farms in Oklahoma, so they don’t get much further south than DFW.
