#U s army Wants A Parachuting Tank After years of service in wars--from Iraq to Afghanistan to Iraq again--the Humvee is on its way out.
Now the Army wants to fill its light and fast shoes and to do so they looked at three different vehicles last week during exercises in Fort Benning Georgia. Together the vehicles would enable the Army to do forcible entry missions
which is Pentagonese for land and operate in a hostile place. The first vehicle is in essence a light tank.
The next vehicles is the ultra-lightweight combat vehicle (ULCV. The ULCV is in essence a turbo jeep.
The Army also wants it to drive cross-country primary road secondary road and urban rubble during both day and night missions.
In essence the ULCV should get a squad into the fight right off the helicopter over unpaved ground
Lastly the Army is also looking at a light reconnaissance vehicle (LRV) also carried by Chinook helicopters both inside and underneath.
The LRV will carry six soldiers and their gear and it will go on rougher terrain than the other two Humvee replacements.
Under the solicitation category lethality the Army says it wants an LRV with the capability of defeating
and engaging hardened enemy bunkers light armored vehicles and dismounted personnel in machine gun and sniper positions.
Together these vehicles will let the Army arrive from the sky and start fighting on day one all

#Russia Orders Helicopters For Its New Amphibious assault Ships Russia recently ordered a batch of new attack helicopters,
including 32 that could go onto a new amphibious assault ship. There's just one hitch: France is building that ship,
or (in wars) go forth and take the beaches. The contract with French shipbuilders specified two Mistral class ships built in France,
They'll be the first amphibious assault ships for Russia. It's likely each of the four ships would only fly eight attack helicopters so the full order for 32 indicates that Russia expects full delivery of the ships.
what military use the Mistral would add to the war in Ukraine, even with the planned Ka-52k helicopters.
If Russia were to escalate its involvement in Ukraine's war from supporting separatists to formal participation,
should tensions like the 2008 Russia-Georgia war flare up again. Presently, the Mistral-class ships wouldn't let Russia do all that much more in the wars it's most likely to fight,
as Russia shares land borders with the neighbors they're most prone to invade. Regardless of actual military utility, the international community is excited less about the sale, especially after Russia's seizure of Crimea and Moscow's ongoing support for the separatists that shot down a Malaysian airliner.
