Alternative to Mobile Gun System

[Roger Lucy]

As experience is showing that the streets of Kandahar are too narrow, for 8x8 20 tonne armoured vehicles, and as resources must also be fouid for heavy-lift aircraft, the Canadian Forces are considering an alternative choice for a fire support vehicle.

This new design, to be called the Shrew (a ferocious little beast that punches far above its weight) can go anywhere to deliver its 75mm rounds. Needless to say it is very fuel efficient, and its crew of one allows considerable personnel savings.
