Fortunately the US will never have to deploy to Europe again nor visit littoral areas so armored cars will do just fine. Given that we won't have to cross anything wet. What could possibly go wrong?

@kylecole7068 A-10 go brrt when on-station. A-10 is not organic firepower. A-10 took plenty of damage during Desert Storm (I worked hot pit refuel at KKMC and saw them taxi by while fueling F-16s). A-10 is fine against people without an air force and should be kept for a while but drones already do everything but brrrt (and most A-10 AFV kills were by Hellfires). For what vulnerable A-10 costs to deploy (not to mention training and maintaining aircrew and the rest of the stagnormous support tail for a squadron) the US could darken the skies with drones that loiter longer, have tiny radar sigs, require vastly less support etc. Much love for A-10 but it's survivable use case gets smaller every year. Russian Frogfoot is as good (except for lacking podded engines) and those are getting Stingered on the reg in Ukraine.

Automatic cable slack adjusters go back to the earliest car and truck parking brakes and are also used on aircraft flight controls. Shit's easy to fix if engineers keep a real mechanic on staff to keep thing real...

@MrMattumbo Seizing opposed river crossings is rather important but the US hasn't done that in so long no one cares. Russians lost some of their pontoon bridges in Ukraine but apparently haven't forded much either due to lack of training and/or getting Stugna/NLAW/Javelin/etc etc when attempting it.

Anything not mounting hard-kill APS is gonna do a VDV impression on future battlefields. Nice ARMORED CAR but even constabulary operations/global love coercion will be up against shooters with better than RPG 7s and homebrew IED.
