I shot off an e-mail to the Vice President of Communications over at General Dynamics today asking about their version of the Marine Personnel Carrier.
Don't kick me. I followed instructions and that's where I was directed.
And this is the kicker. I keep vacillating on what I think they're up to. Yesterday I said it had to be the Pandur II. If not that vehicle then maybe an Amphibious Stryker.
Tonight?
I'm back to the amphibious Stryker as being my favorite. I initially said that it would be too hard for them to make it amphibious.
But a short conversation later and it dawned on me. THEY PUT FREAKING TRACKS ON A STRYKER!
Making one swim shouldn't be that hard a push, especially if you're going to go to the trouble of developing a tracked version. Expect some major exterior changes...developing a proper bow, putting on a swim vane and maybe widening it a bit.
Hopefully I'll get a response and if I do you can bet it'll be posted rickety quick.
