This is apparently the newest thing in personal military transport, apparently the Israelis are considering adopting it, too. What with this and the Stryker, what's next?

LOL.
I liked the Israeli Paratroopers with the Galil and the S.C.U.T.R!
You made my day red!

Is this seriouse?

Yes. Very.



Hey, sherman, it's a lot easier to airlift a couple hundred S.C.U.T.R.s than it is to drop in trucks.

I do not believe you at all. Those things do not increase speed, they increase distance only a little and they aren't rugged enough for the majority of terrains we fight in unless all wars from now on are going to be fought solely in cities.

obvcours its not real. Cant you see the photos been messed around with?
besides, what Israeli would take that thing...can you imagin it in the desert dunes....Besides, even compared with Stryker, its really not safe....

Nawwwww, come on now, they spent like a hundred dollars in the R and D of this new technical marvel, don't knock it.

Nice to know all that money from the Commanche project is going to go to some good use

Moved this one now..
