True.

I just copied and pasted it and threw it in here for interest sake. I did test it by thinking of a couple of obscure (but operational rather than concept) vehicles and they were in there.
Which is what made me think whoever put this list together, did their homework well.
Note that both Netherlands and Canadian Lynx are listed rather than just "Lynx".
Likewise the Aussie Saladin and Scorpion turreted variants of the M113A1.

I still think the idea of an M113 with a jet engine in it was a strange idea, can't see how that would have been a success?

Regards
Doug

So if the mission was suited for an unarmoured 'carrier', then the M548 would have been the building block.

If you edited the list to group it by base vehicles, it would be more manageable.
