Carden-Llyold tankettes was made for one man at beginning,then they discovered that to work properly it need 2 persons.
But,with modern technology,we could have one-man tankettes with HMG and AT missile launcher.
Kind of poor man Astartes.

This "modern technology" is so expensive that you are better off sticking it on a proper tank.
Without inventing straight out of sci fi AI assistance or cybernetics, 2 will remain an effective minimum for ground vehicles due to the need for someone to do the driving and someone to do the fighting. Otherwise you get a very suboptimal vehicle that has to stop to fight properly like WW2 tanks, on a battlefield where others don't.

Pity.I hoped for cheap power armour,and it seems,that it is not possible.

I would think a theoretical powered exosuit would allow infantry to carry around something like a 20mm autocannon so probably more along the lines of turning a man into a infantry fighting vehicle depending on how good the armor part is.

George Friedman in his "Next 100 years" wrote about powerpuff USA making such things after 2050 - younger among us would see if he was right or not.
Personally i doubt - thanks to Biden and deep state i do not see powerpuff USA at all.

Corruption and laundering of Ukraine Military Aid is real. Apparently we're just selling Bradley Light Tanks to every random Slav who can afford one.




I would like to apologize to @PsihoKekec when he said that corruption of Ukrainian aid was overstated. He clearly has firsthand knowledge of this. 😔

Here's a little thing, corruption was part of why 2014 happened the way it did. The Ukrainian government has made surprising strides in crushing that corruption, but that takes time. The corruption-hunting wasn't complete when 2022 rolled around.

More in replacing one corruption group by another...
Maybe.But Moscov had old mongol tradition of making corruption part of their system,in which officials simply must take bribes.
Ukraine had those soviet traditions,too - but also european,where bribes are crime.

So,they could go out of this.Kgbstan could not.

They are not part of system.In Moscov system you must take bribes as official - only problem was,if you take too much compared to your rank.
In Europe it is still crime,and people still could act without bribes.In Moscov system it is not possible.

I wonder if the new turret got other advantages apart from weight, for example how fast is the autoloader and how many kinds of different ammunition you can select from the magazine.
