Some Things Should not Fly Edition
> What's this thread about?
As usual this thread is for the discussion and pics of tracked and wheeled AFVs of all kinds from MBTs to supertanks to self propelled AA guns. Please keep it civil and cite sources for statistics.
The M113 was, and continues to be, the most enduring and recognisable APC in use around the world. Two key designs proved to be antecedents to the M113. The first of these was the M75, which was a steel vehicle capable of carrying ten individuals, based heavily on the M41 tank. After the Food Machinery and Chemical Corporation was drafted into production, over 1700 vehicles were produced by 1954, yet the adjusted unit cost was a staggering $100,000 for each, bringing serial production to an end. The other vehicle was the lighter M59 developed from 1951-1953, and just over 4000 of these amphibious APCs were produced until 1960, whereupon they were axed due to their inability to keep up with M48 tanks. In 1956, the Army Ordnance Tank Automotive Command initiated a new APC project to "provide a lightweight APC for armor and infantry" while being amphibious, airdroppable, with long range and able to be modifiable with kits. In June 1956, with a test bed already produced, the APC was put out to tender, with FMC being successful. Two distinct prototypes emerged, one being the T113 with aluminium armour and the T117 with steel armour. It was found that the T113 offered superior ballistic protection while being substantially lighter and economical to produce. FMC then developed two sub-prototypes, the T113E1 and T113E2. The gasoline T113E1 was introduced in 1960 as the M113, part of a batch of 900, with the T113E2 becoming the diesel M113A1 in 1964.

OP: As always, feedback, suggestions wanted and appreciated.
Apologies if I haven't gone as extensively into the colourful history of the M113 as much as some of you may have liked. Information on the M113 is so detailed and the range of modifications, deployments and developments so extensive, that I would like to defer these details (particularly the myriad variants and specialisations) to another thread. This thread then, is just a look at the very early origins of the APC. Later on, a look at the APC's performance in theatres such as Vietnam and even later in more contemporary conflicts such as the Gulf Wars may be a possibility as well. In addition, iterative improvements to the M113 in domestic US service ought to be examined as well; I intend to track the M113 from 1960 to 2017 as the AMPV is set to become integrated into the US military.

More tank news, as per the new format.
If you have more queries regarding a news story, just point it out, and I'll further elaborate and provide links.
Finland's Patria are now offering an improved variant of the XA 6x6 APC, designated the XA-220. The vehicle now sports a Cummins ISLe 8.9 diesel engine in place of the Valmet as well as an upgraded electrical system and lighting.
Estonia has expressed interest in acquiring K9 Thunder howitzers alongside Finland, to be delivered by 2021 in a batch of 12.
Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) is set to deliver 90 Fuchs 6x6 APCs to the German Army that have been upgraded to the 1A8 standard throughout 2017 in a deal projected to be worth at least $107 million USD. The modifications in the package are extensive, from overhauled protection to the addition of a limited number of KMW FLW 200 RWS.
Singapore's ST Kinetics has unveiled plans for a new AFV at the IQPC International Armoured Vehicles Conference 2017 in London, the Next Generation AFV, set to replace the ageing fleet of M113 APCs in the SAF. The fundamental construction of the vehicle appears to be based on an all steel welded hull with modular applique armour powered by an MTU 8V-199 TE20 diesel.
Austria at IQPC has confirmed that it will undertake the wholesale installation of RWS onto a significant part of the Austrian Army's AFVs. No specific type has been confirmed, yet according to IHS Jane's, the Austrian Army had previously expressed interest in the usage of Elbit Systems RWS and its subsequent development.
India's DRDO has revealed that the FRCV's main gun requirement has now been revised to include a 125 mm gun and not the previous 120 mm, while secondary arms are expected to include an air defense machinegun and a third generation ATGW. The FRCV will also be unmanned in its turret, with a three man crew in the hull, powered by a Bharat powerpack.
And that's all for now.

Sounds like India doesn't want to develop ammunition for the Arjun's gun that cannot be shared with its T-72/T-90 fleet.
