	FV101 Scorpion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Intended to be a fast and air-transportable reconnaissance vehicle, the Scorpion is built from mainly aluminium armour and mounts a L23A1 76 mm gun firing HE, HESH, Smoke, and Canister rounds.
		With a 'footprint' lighter than that of a man, it was one of the few vehicles capable of operating in the extreme conditions of the Falklands land mass (wheeled vehicles had almost no use away from established roads).
		The hulls have been reused with the turrets from the FV 721 Fox wheeled reconnaissance vehicle to form a new vehicle Sabre which is very similar in appearance to the Scimitar.

		As part of the UK MoD's CVRT (Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance Tracked) rationalisation programme both the tracked Scorpion with its 76mm gun and the wheeled Fox with its 30mm Rarden Cannon were withdrawn from service and a hybrid vehicle - Sabre was produced.
		Created from the body of the Scorpion, and the turret of the Fox the Sabre is fitted with the standard 30mm Rarden Cannon found on similar British Army vehicles of the CVRT class.
		Modifications were made to the manually operated turret of the Fox to include redesigned smoke grenade launchers and the 7.62mm Chain Gun replacing the standard 7.62mm machine gun, for anti-personnel use.

		These vehicles are designed with peacekeeping and other operations where the idea that there is some US unit that has marginal firepower is going to be enough of a deterrent to prevent a larger conflict.
		The combat vehicle features armor protection equal to that of the battle tank and powerful armament capable of neutralizing and defeating antiarmor-capable targets and manpower, and operates in a common battle formation.These features help significantly increase combat effectiveness of tank units and decrease their losses from enemy close-combat assets.
		The next generation of armoured personnel carriers and mech infantry combat vehicles are based on tank chassis, as with the Russian rebuilds of T72s and the Israeli T157 and Centurion tank rebuilds.

		The concept seems practical in the sense that a dune buggy is intended for desert scouting and support of infantry, not necessarily carrying soldiers while wading through volumes of fire or serving in the midst of front-line combat.
		my idea came from remambering visiting a tank museum, there was a demo of armoured vehicles and their purposes.
		They wouldn't be all that much use to advanced reconnaisance in the PHB day and age, I reckon.

		It'd do nicely as a light armor or unarmored vehicle killer with het or DU HVAP projectiles, would work nicely against troops in the open [particularly if a canister round for close-up work was fielded] and might even fulfill some of the roll DIVADS/Sgt York was meant to.
		I worry that we are pushing hard for a Future Combat Vehicle that is based, as far as I have been able to tell, on a concept that in the next half a dozen years or so we will develop a composite material that has incredible strength yet is very lightweight.
		And if it's not the vehicle for the job, and that vehicle isn't there, we'll not only lose Stryker crews finding that out, but those they were expected to support, and more when some other vehicle has to be brought up to speed to accomplish the same task.

		While it's not heavily armoured, the G-Wagon was welcomed by the military as a vehicle that could better protect soldiers, even if it didn't lend itself well to Canada's so-called "hearts-minds" strategy of winning support of the locals in Afghanistan by being approachable during patrols.
		The robust Mercedes-built vehicle is a large step up from the light and open Iltis, which was criticized after separate blasts earlier in the mission killed three soldiers, said Major-General Christian Barabé, who led the investigation into one of those incidents.
		He said that the already sturdy vehicle, properly known as a Gelaendenwagen, had been substantially modified for the Afghanistan mission and that soldiers using it were better protected as a result.

		Since the Iraq conflict began, the Army has been pressing ahead to produce the armor necessary at a rate that they believe — it’s a greatly expanded rate from what existed previously, but a rate that they believe is the rate that is all that can be accomplished at this moment.
		I can assure you that General Schoomaker and the leadership in the Army and certainly General Whitcomb are sensitive to the fact that not every vehicle has the degree of armor that would be desirable for it to have, but that they’re working at it at a good clip.
		And you can go down and, the vehicle, the goal we have is to have as many of those vehicles as is humanly possible with the appropriate level of armor available for the troops.
