Why don't we be smart and use highly mobile quick firing

Why don't we be smart and use highly mobile quick firing air transportable mortar tankettes like the Germans? A squad of these can follow the troops, lay quick 120mm cover fire on the enemy, carry supplies and ammo for the troops, and retreat with 70 km/h to the base.

If quick-moving artillery is your thing, do talk to the russians. Germans overengineer everything. Russian rocket artillery spotted by man-launches drones will fuck your shit up any day of the week

So one of those or 2/3 wiesels, I rather have the wiesels. They're much easier logistically wise and a muchs smaller target. They can also be equipped with TOW or 20mm and can be carried in chinooks. They can also travel through woodlands much easier

AH-64 can follow troops too and lay quick cover fire on the enemy killing any targets on the battlefields, unlike Weasel. Also AH-64 doesn't need CH-47 to carry it around.

A helicopter canĀ“t operate effectively in a forest.
A helicopter is fuckin loud.
A helicopter is much more expensive.
A helicopter can not be repaired at your VW dealership if it has engine problems.
A helicopter requires more additional peronal.
A Helicopter requires a shitload of maintainance.

GPS guided mortar would be useful as well.

>>33927909
Good case against airborne delivery of Weasel...

Because Kwan military-industrial complex would find a way to fuck it up.

1915 called. They want you back.

because the logistics chain of such tiney vehicles makes them impossible to operate without a huge supply chain.

If you are able to keep them supplied then you have the access to bring in more capable vehicles.

plus a Jeep/humve/landrover can serve exactly the same purpose with less weight, cost and logistics demand.
>>
>>33927650
I really don't see the point of this over a humvee

Especially in a world where drones will become more and more prevalient for CAS
>>
>>33928230
There's no point for this for desert fighting

But for Europe and North america fighting this is perfect for uneven woodlands with dense forests.

kek

even their pistols

I kinda want one.

Thats counterintuitive.

Aren't they smaller and less powerfull? That has to help logistics, not hinder them.

You have to get fuel, specialist ammunition, spare parts, tools and other such equipment. Everything a tank would need. Better off sending all that stuff to an actual tank unit not some light infantry in bum-fuck nowhere with a Russian patrol showing them the meaning on no-homo. Get something cheep, reliable that anyone can operate, wont use much more supplies than already on the train to your unit. Something stupid shit simple that can be held together with duct-tape and spit.

Logistics wins wars and are by far the most important consideration when deciding to put something like OP in whatever unit.
