APCS,MIFV, AFVS, HUMVS

LORD!

APC s are not main battle tanks!

RPGs tend to blow through APCs like a finger through wet toilet paper!

MIFVs are not main battle tanks!

AFVs (armored cars) are not main battle tanks!

HUMVs are most	definately not main battle tanks!

i have seen US M-113 ACAVs and ARVN M-113s  blown apart when trying to
act like a tank. 

i have watched	for years as 3rd  world "soldiers"  equated wheeled or
tracked APCs with tanks, were  blown up and burned   in combat	 in
color on my TV screens. . . . .

then i watched russians  bite the big one on y TV screens in afghanistan
and chechtnya. . . . .

ditto for flyweight tanks that try to be main battle tanks (the sheridan
comes immediately to mind along with that tiny AMX tank and PT-76). 

i have one hell of a lot of respect for the old RPG-7 and its multiple
use capability.

i see no reason that this  will change	short of the  developement of a
mobile force field  in the  future  either.
