>>65615986THE COWARDS!!!
Yes my lord
>>65616006THE FOOLS!!!!!
M113 APC is cute! CUTE!
>>65615972>blue triangle in orange circlethese are fire engines of the civil defense?
>>65615972Gavins will be airdropping onto Mars.
>>65616218They're actually a splinter Circle Trigon faction.
Belong to french firefighters in Corsica.https://sis2b.corsica/les-equipes-specialisees/elp/
>>65615972a simple troop transport that wont be mistaken for a tank and can carry a full squadthe true M113 successor rather than a well-armed snowblower
>>65616202We will...take away their metal BAWKSES.
>>65616718it always amused me that the space marines got the M113-clone but not an M60A1 clonethe predator is an upgunned rhino and the razorback is like the maus was turned into a troop transport but still kept its main guns
>>65616698>mistaken for a tankbiggest meme in history
>>65615972It is still being made in licensed modernized versions to this day.
>>65615972Looks like the Rhino from Dawn of War.
>>65616698>rather than a well-armed snowblowerThat well-armed snowblower is awesome, it can quickly roll in tons of really heavy fire support for the G.Is on foot.Hell, that well-armed snowblower can roll with a couple of APCs to escort them, they drop off the boys, and then the APCs roll back home while the well-armed snowblower fights along said lads.
>>65615972RHINOS?!?!
>>65615972Imagine if GW donated theirs' to the Ukes.>>65617190The rhino is based on it.
>>65616718SSSSSSSINDRIIII
>Bolters: Exist>Rhinos: ExistWhat a time to be alive.
>>65615972METAL BAWKES THE CABARDS! THE PHOOLS!
>>65616698>won't be mistaken for a tankAll that means the other side knows they can also use an autocannon to slaughter an entire squad of your men. An outcome that is more than worth expending an anti-tank missile for, btw.
>>65616731Yeah the only people doing that are turdworlders.>>65615972I was a driver for one of those in the Army. Why the paint job? Was it repurposed as a firefighting vehicle for wildfires or something? I've always wanted to own a surplus one.
Before you ask: no, I have no idea why, who, or where.
>>65620202I don't know how to feel about this
as cool as the M113 TOW was, it apparently sucked assand the M113 ITV that replaced it sucked almost as muchM113 TDs are just cursed
>>65620174I'm sure it would be a maintenance nightmare, but I've always wanted an M548. It seems like the most practical surplus tracked vehicle.
>>65615972I was a driver for one of these ask me anything, just kidding, don't, I hate these.
>>65620202damn thats cursed
>>65620880whyd you hate them?
>>65621508It's a cramped, unairconditioned aluminum box from the 60s.
>>65621508>get in box>dont have bloody knuckles>get out of box>have bloody knucklesWhy? How? Why? Every time.
what if they removed the gunner and just made it an automated turret?
>>65623087Possible AI assisted anti drone defense carrier, might be cool.
>>65620834I've always liked this thing
>>65620805I was in an ITV the only good thing about it was the thermal sight.
what would it take to slap a 105mm gun on the M113?pic not related, only has a 20mm cannon
>>65618417Saw this in person and resisted the burning urge to climb on it and get a picture, not sure why I did - the thing is a fucking tank for god's sake and there's no barriers around itNext time
>>65620174Yes, they are French firefighting M113s, though I think they got the vehicles themselves from elsewhere. The tubing on the top is firefighting equipment.
>>65623211Never got why we haven't shipped them to Ukraine by the hundreds. Have they all been scrapped?
>>65623851Stupid question but are these specially outfitted to survive extreme temperatures while protecting the passengers? Like, can it just drive through a forest fire unworried by the flames? The normal Gavin can't do that, right?
>>65623344Strictly speaking they carried plenty of mortars and recoilless rifles in that caliber
>>65623344Reject modernity, embrace casemate.
>>65623862I only google fu'd it so I couldn't tell you with any certainty, but I believe these two may specifically be able to douse themselves in water. Don't take my word for it, however.
>>65623860>Have they all been scrapped?not scrapped but sold off, almost entirely to smaller countries like morocco who still have themthough given their infamous reliability, i dont think they want to have to foot the bill for spare parts if they send them to ukraine and barely work even on the parade ground
>>65620202>>65620410>>65621048GIT SUM
