Comparing U.S. Army Assets vs. Everyone Else

Comparing U.S. Army Systems with Foreign Counterparts

Bring the heat, Bring the Stupid: A Comparison of US Army assets versus the state of the art elsewhere.

This Rand report is a couple years old. What’s interesting is that a fair number of the issues it raises are actually in the forefront of Army planning right now. One that comes quickly to mind is the current push to swap out the M2 .50cal on the Stryker ICV with either a 30mm cannon or a Javelin missile mount.

One other thing that strikes me. The emphasis placed on foreign MLRS range and capabilities. Reports from the fighting in Ukraine have repeatedly stressed that Russian artillery and MLRS strikes on maneuver forces have been utterly devastating.

WNU Editor: Xbradtc's comments on Russian capabilities is spot on.
