…The Ripsaw fills the gap between wheeled and tracked vehicles the U.S. military is currently using. It's faster and more capable across extreme terrain than anything with tires, but it's significantly lighter, more agile and more maneuverable than an M1A2 Abrams or M2/M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle… Military: link |

Looks like something Vickers made for export in the 1930s. |

It is the smart move. Expect them to not buy it.
Maybe if the right hands get greased. |

Looks like it has promise … It will be integrated into the Combined Arms Team, I'd think. But we won't know for sure how effective it will be in combat. But again, this may turn out to be good weapon system. And I like the idea of making it unmanned, too. The Army is short troops so more of this type of weapon may fill some of the gapes. In the Sqds, Fire Tms, Plts, etc. that are short on troops. |

Yes does look like a Vickers contraption. |
