CV90-40mm

[Weasel]

Canada has a habit of buying crap. We bought 1 1/4 ton trucks to replace our aging GM fleet from FIAT (Fix It Again Tony) and we kept them for less then 15 years. The breaks squealed no matter what you did to them...real tactical.

In the first Gulf war we were offered M1A1s for FREE, all Canada had to do was agree to buy the parts from the US. Nope, can't have that, Bombardier only survives through government contracts (and of course it is in Quebec, got to keep those people happy). When we went to replace our hueys the US again offered us Blackhawks at basically free prices. Nope, got to buy parts from you, can't have that.

That bofors gun rocks. The 40mm round going through 140mm of armour is sweet, but the best part is the cannister rounds especially against helos. I would love to see this vehicle in MBT.
