Well,so far the comparison has not been really fair.Why not we
evaluate the following 3 pieces of equipment?The S'pore Light
Strike Vehicle [LSV], American Desert Patrol Vehicle [DPV] and
lastly the British SAS Pink Panther?
The above are all largely/completely unarmoured and are vehicles
built specifically for the Strike purpose.Well,to begin with, the
DPV and SAS Pink Panther has a capability which our LSV is not
capable of.The DPV is able to operate and fire all its weapons
systems onboard while its on the move at high speed with the
gunnner seated down as well as the Pink Panther.But the LSV,the
rear-gunner has to stand up to fire his weapon.And the DPV and Pink
Panther can both be fitted with external self-sealing fuel bladders
and tires which can with-stand a hit by up to a .50 cal.
weapon.
So far,I have only seen the LSV being able to be fitted with the
CIS 40mm Automatic Grenade Launcher,Milan ATM,Spike ATM and a GPMG
at the front passenger's side.Can it be equipped with a .50 cal. at
the back?Please share if it is possible.
Though the LSV has a slight disadvantage,it is nonetheless a good
vehicle as it has a superb X-country capability.Meybe DSTA could
consider mounting a Minigun on the passenger side instead of a
GPMG?Hahah,that would be a truly fearsome sight for the enemy man.
But anyweay,its alittle impracitcal too as it
uses ammunition way to quickly,perhaps they could control the
cyclic so that it will not be able to fire higher then 2000 rounds
a min or sumthing?Hahah,well just a suggestion.
