@bendbadgersteve @sentdefender It’s not a HMMWV, it’s a JLTV or M1281 Close Combat Weapons Carrier (CCWC).

Humvees have been phased out of combat for front line units.

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@prezalar @TheDeadDistrict ERA would be redundant because the armor underneath has NERA, I’m gonna assume those are plates meant to simulate extra weight but I’m not too sure

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@pwm2vape @JP03880617 @sentdefender Why would it be perceived as a threat lol

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@WKoumrian @BrandonFDW The M4 is getting replaced with a better weapon called XM8

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@Jusoon3 @specialopsmag you sure you’re not thinking of the MP9

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@ibew_sparky @je11703 @WarMonitor3 Less of an Israel vs Iran issue, and more of an Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain vs Iran issue.

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@capamerica2025 @sentdefender It’s just simpler

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@stevefoxwick @AutumnDerg @WarFlash_2630 there is 25 rnd mag capacity

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@goodname100 @CerebralCereal0 @XLB_God Sig Sauer is Swiss, not German. SIG that made the M17 and M7 broke off from the Swiss branch more than 20 years ago. US military does use German weapons but those two are not it

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@goodname100 @CerebralCereal0 @XLB_God are you talking about the M27

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@PotatoLord8185 @rmyguy11 @XLB_God A lot of strange design choice with this weapon like no rails for accessories and the hand guard being so thick

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@JP_0095 @reidhslaughter @XLB_God What’s so outdated about it

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@c_l_a_d_d_i_x @Remnantize There’s 25 round mag for 6.8x51

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@Bloodbringer2 @WarMonitor3 @hey_itsmyturn Provides minute by minute updates but there’s nothing happening currently

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@timishigh @chckrbordx57 @Kathleen_Tyson_ @infantrydort Eisenhower was a member of the army while Cooper is a member of the navy, different traditions and standards. Maybe the navy encourages to wear more, especially during formal settings.

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@GarlicRamo56720 @infantrydort They’re Army officers.

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@jfksburneracc @sentdefender (2/2) The Blackhawk is getting replaced because it’s too slow for INDOPACOM. MV-75 is faster, carries more troop and cargo. Big army is gearing up for potential conflict with China.

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@jfksburneracc @sentdefender (1/2) Yeah. Unlike on the osprey where the entire engine and rotor assembly tilt, the engine is fixed on the MV-75 and only the rotors and gearboxes tilt. It’s way more simpler.

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@jfksburneracc @sentdefender Both are tilt rotors but the MV-75 uses a more reliable assembly, it’s not the same.

[GI Joe @GIJoeaj]

@knotgrumpy @sentdefender They look to be the same size. This rotor and the wing takes about the same space as the black hawk and its main rotor.
