“US Speeds Plan for New Armored Vehicle and Sends Older Models to Ukraine”
“Army to send Ukraine vehicles now, restock with improved model”
“The US Army plans to use $867 million in Ukraine emergency funding for a new contract and accelerated production of an improved armored personnel carrier from BAE Systems Plc to replenish its own inventory.
The Armored Multiple-Purpose Vehicle will replace the M113 carrier, a workhorse introduced in the Vietnam War era. Under drawdowns of Pentagon stockpiles authorized by President Joe Biden, 200 of the older M113s will be sent to Ukraine by the active-duty Army and the Army National Guard.”
More cannon-fodder.
Woot?
I’m very interested in Poland’s massive military build-up and modernization, and I look forward to when discussions get started on that.
