The torch of Airborne warfare progress was dropped by us Americans in 1960 when M113s were not supplied to Airborne/Light units as intended and the next phase of M113 development into an effective light tank languished as the AR/AAV got heavier and heavier. What we needed then and need now is a mini-STUG assault gun on a M113 chassis that would also do what the M551 Sheridan AR/AAV was/is too heavy to do: fly by helicopters for VTOL mission profiles. The Russians were terrified at the thought of dispersed American infantry and tanks under armor maneuvering and not dying under their nuclear first strikes and actually repelling them if they stayed with conventional HE and KE weaponry. For the first time the American Army had the greatest mobile infantry on earth. http://www.combatreform2.com/airbornetoc.htm Aluminum alloy armor enabled the Russians to create their own M113, but theirs would have a turret and act as its own fire support light tank. A small turret with 73mm cannon and Sagger anti-tank guided missile as well as 7.62mm medium machine guns made their BMD what our M113s would have become had we kept innovating. YOUTUBE has excellent videos showing later BMD models with stabilized autocannon and even a 100mm/30mm/7.62mm turret that is simply incredible firepower in EVERY RUSSIAN AIRBORNE SQUAD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piwS3Vbdvvc The puny machine guns and small autocannon on American infantry-carrying tanks pales in comparison. http://www.geocities.com/armorhistory BMDs would play the starring role in the seizure of Afghanistan in 1979 and are today the world's standard in Airborne warfare. The BMD-3 is so good at swimming with its waterjets the Russian Naval Infantry use them to swim from ship-to-shore. Compare this to the USMC's bloated amtracks that we can't seem to even get ANY large cannon onto despite being twice the size, twice the target at 10 times the cost. We have the world's most expensive incompetent military money can buy. Want to know more?
