It sounds like the Russians have stolen the naming conventions right from the Ikea catalog.

Not being particularly military, it would be nice to have the acronym “AFV” defined.

We too would have an entire new generation of Future Combat Systems if Congress hadn’t made it a welfare program and laden it with every enviro-nut agenda. Instead we spent more than enough to develop all new vehicles and didn’t get even one. But plenty of individuals walked away richer for the experience.

I believe that should be “Medium Tank” rather than “Middle Tank”. Interesting they didn’t develop a new heavy tank.
