Interesting Note on Canadian Future Armor.

Food for thought, fodder for RPGs.

The C2 Leopard has been deployed to Afganistan. The Canadian government paid to have them shipped air cargo. It is likely that the striker program will be re-thought based upon recient combat experiences.

Now that Hizbolla, North Korea, Syria ,Iran...etc... have a lot of Kornet and Metis it doesn't make any difference: neither the C2 nor the Stryker are able to stand against that: it'seems clear to me that the problem should not be considered on an armor basis...

Yup, because the soviets had lot´s of armor and more forces in A´stan. Result was ? And don´t post, that we (the western nations) are better than the soviets. At least we are occupieres for most of the population. Neither in Iraq nor in A´stan the ppl. like western occupation.
