Check out these sweet little German "tankettes", the Weasel and Weasel 2
Light enough to be slung under a helicopter, can be configured for TOW missiles, 20mm cannon, missile systems, ambulance or mobile TOC configurations... had never even heard of them until today, a great idea to give light airborne infantry the extra mobility and punch they often need https://warisboring.com/the-german-w...cae#.etptui8pz |

They are made by the same company that makes our 120mm smoothbore guns for tanks. |

They aren't that much different from a Bradley. 20mm cannon, TOW, and the Vulcan can all be mounted on a Bradley

The Bradley is a size larger and too heavy for that What I really prefer for our infantry guys is something like the Weasel 1, just look at the rearview mirrors to get an idea of its actual size... those are basically pickup truck mirrors Put APS on that little dude and its the perfect light infantry accompaniment, able to be taken to places where the Bradley cant instantly be |
