Recently, US First Cavalry Division front-line deployed on Polish . A squad of the 3rd Armored Brigade M3 infantry fighting chariot was in concert with infantry drills. I wondered that this thing has not had much presence since it emerged during the Gulf War . The lens appearance rate is lower than that of the same period. The Strek wheeled chariot.

M2 was a hit back then and there were many developed models, including but not limited to engineering vehicles, bridge vehicles, mortar car, mine car , etc. The M3 cavalry fighting vehicle mainly added more communication equipment and sensors. In the mid-1990s, the US military had plans to upgrade its turret separately, but it was later left unresolved. The stock of the two vehicles is still relatively large. It is estimated that the US Army and the National Guard have a large number of tanks, and there should be more than 4,000 vehicles in the warehouse.

In short, as time goes by, I feel that this guy is a bit useless, it is not considered old, it started in the 1980s, and if you want to talk about new things, it has also been upgraded several times. It is said that the latest modification is equipped with new automatic guns, new anti-tank missile , Iron Fist active defense system plus BRAT II reaction armor, and even the powertrain Chengdu has changed, but these efforts are just to prolong life.

If you want to say it is suitable for the Gulf War, the opponent is really weak, so it has given it a chance to perform well. Its firepower is definitely better than many main battle tanks except anti-tank missiles. The protection cannot be compared with the main battle tanks no matter how hard it is. Moreover, it is a little helpless and tearless when encountering landmines and improvised explosive device in the future. Some people say that it can run, it depends on who it compares with. At that time, it was compared with the old M113 and so on. It is impossible to run any more than the wheel! Finally, these goods are expensive and not cheap. But infantry always need vehicles, so it continues to prolong their lifespan, that's all.
