  • General Dynamics Land Systems won the Army’s Mobile Protected Firepower competition in 2022 and will deliver the combat vehicle recently named the M10 Booker. The Booker has commonality with the Abrams SEPv3 turret systems and is designed with larger-caliber main gun growth capability to provide protected firepower and unmatched lethality to Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCTs). The Booker features add-on armor panels and under-vehicle IED protection, plus proven ammunition compartmentalization for crew safety. Its high power-to-weight ratio and hydro-pneumatic suspension provide outstanding speed and cross-country maneuverability. The Booker is built to meet all transport mode specifications and is recoverable with organic IBCT assets.

      I think it's gonna be 19Ks, but I think the army is also going to stop having soldiers constantly switch between light, stryker, and mechanized units - a tanker who crews an M10 probably won't spend much time in an M1, since the doctrine for the two vehicles is different.

I'm not saying it doesn't have new stuff cuz I'm not familiar with it but it just kind of looks like a repeat. It's the same 105 mm gun same coax, track system looks the same as well. What I mean if it's a better version of the old M1 that's great but National Guard Armories are full of m1's, M1A1s, m1a2s, yeah just saying

The T90M is that, and to be used in multiple purposes. The M10 is *not* that. It's an assault gun, meant to be air-droppable and rapid response for airborne units like the 82nd.

      Because of it's size, survivability, probable decent armor, and high power engine. I also never said it doesn't have the features of a T-90, I just said isn't an MBT. You can't expect it to have the same capabilities as one. Anyways, the T-90 is much smaller, but still requires the high caliber and high armor required of an MBT, which is probably why it gets it weight. If it was the same size as a Booker, or even an Abrams, it would weigh much more.

    Just curious if there’s a reason why the smoke launchers were mounted on the turret instead of just underneath the lip of the turret? Wouldn’t it be a bit cleaner looking and also give room to install a potential trophy system additive?
    Just curious - thanks

      @fallingjustice29 10 месяцев назад +1

      They need to face up and out, so putting them on the underside of the lip would just make it need struts to put the launchers out far enough to point up, potentially giving even less room for other systems. Unless you mean to mount it on the top hull, which would mean that a smoke or two may get shot out, bounce off the barrel, and land on the vehicle

    This tank was selected by the US Army over the competing M8 Buford light tank, even though the M10 Booker has identical weapons, has less protection, costs and weighs 3 times as much, can't be airdropped, and can't be airlifted in a C-130 Hercules.
    The M10 Booker also weighs the same as China's Type 96 Main Battle Tank, yet has the armor of an APC.
    This tank is peak Post-Kabul Pentagon.

      @@tablesizeproductions4360 That anyone can promote the M10 Booker with a straight face is baffling; you can see how worthless it is just by comparing it's most basic stats to those of any other tank.
      However, consider Argentina's TAM Medium Tank, which --- like the M210 Booker --- was derived from an IFV (in this case the VCTP, which is effectively a clone of the Marder 1). Both use 105mm main guns proofed to fire exactly the same ammunition, but the TAM has thicker and stronger armor while weighing 33 short tons, compared to 45 for the M10 Booker. The TAM also costs several times less, even after later modernizations that brought it's electronics to a much closer parity with the M10.
      More importantly, the TAM was developed in the 1970s, and over 40 years later, GDLS and the Pentagon STILL can't do anything right.

      So then what was the reason they chose the M10 over the M8?

    • @BlacktailDefense
      @BlacktailDefense 10 месяцев назад +2

      @@Trainboy1EJR The real reason is what the Pentagon rationalizes it as "preservation of the industrial base", but is actually just cutting favors for sweetheart manufacturers that no longer have the competence to be competitive.
      An infamous example was the AMSA program (later re-dubbed the B-1 program) in the late 1960s, in which the Rockwell proposal was declared the winner. The USAF later admitted that the Boeing proposal was both cheaper and better performing, but they chose the Rockwell B-1 for "preservation of the industrial base", because Boeing (fresh from B-52 production and with tons of missile programs, in addition to a range of successful civilian airliners) was thriving and healthy, while Rockwell (with no ongoing aircraft programs other than the last orders for the CV-10 Bronco and C-123 Provider) was circling the drain. It was all for naught; the 240 authorized Mach 2.4 B-1As devolved into 100 Mach 1.3 B-1Bs (the rest of the B-1 fiasco is a whole other can of worms), after which Rockwell was never able to sell anyone on any other aircraft designs, and ended up merging with Boeing anyway.
      At present, look at US armored vehicle production, and it's instantly obvious that the M1 Booker was a GDLS bailout. The M1 Abrams is in trouble, as the last new-build chassis' were constructed in the 1990s, ending the possibility of more units being built (other than 77 M1A2s, all other M1A2s built for the US Army were converted from M1s and IPM1s built before 1984!), the US Army getting rid of all of it's M1A1s, and the USMC quitting the tank business altogether. GDLS also had the Stryker, but that ship has sailed. The Army has abandoned several Stryker variants altogether (including the once-celebrated M1128 Stryker MGS, which were all purged from the inventory a couple years ago), new-build sales to them are winding-down, the USMC won't touch it with a 10-foot pole, and the US State Department has been struggling for decades to find export customers.
      Meanwhile, BAE Systems uis raking-in the dough, winning the AMPV Competition aimed at producing a replacement for the M113, upgrading the M109A6 Paladin into the M109A7 Paladin PIM, new major orders for M777 howitzers all over the world, and winning the ACV competition meant to furnish the USC with a replacement for the LAV 8x8 armored vehicles, just to name a few.
      That the M8 Buford is the correct choice for the US Army has been self-evident since the 1990s, but BAe (who now owns rights to it, having absorbed UDLP) keeps winning and winning and winning, while GDLS keeps losing and losing and losing. Without selling the M10 Booker to the US Army, GDLS would be at risk of having to fold their US branch.

    All well and good on the looks. How well will it take a hit in today’s battlefield? Glad they got with the program and put the power pack up front. That was long overdue. After watching RPG's take out a Leopard 2 by hitting the engine and fuel, I got to ask if this thing will do the same? I would love for the designers and builders to have live in one of these for three or four weeks as well as take a hit or two......just like the real soldiers will have to do.
    I remember back in the late 80’s they were trying to sell the Army a Recon tank that had to put extra armor on the inside if it went to war. It couldn’t take a hit of any kind. If the auto loader went out, you had to get outside to load it. When we asked the company rep about these issues, he got flustered and walked away.
