Post; Crusader Replacement?


http://www.gizmag.co.uk/go/4304/

Donald Rumsfeld has made some controversial decisions but it looks like canceling the Crusader Cannon was right after all.. the new NLOS-C is a lot more mobile at half the weight and just as deadly. Check it out.

Yeah, I was against the cancellation of the Crusader but after reading much more about the millitary's budget and the extreme weight of the Crusader I'm with Rumsfeld.

The NLOS-C seems to be comming along very well, though.

This kind of makes me sad I was hoping for even better artillety for the US army. Since I'm a firm beliver in artillery power (maybe I'll get points from Redleg for saying this, lol ).
