One Machine To Wreck Them All || LAV-AD

In September 1982, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) adopted General Motors' submission in the LAV (Light Armored Vehicle) program as the LAV-25 in order to improve the strategic mobility of the USMC divisions. With enhanced mobility, there was a concern of these units out-speeding the anti-aircraft defense units, especially against short-range, low-altitude aircraft. As such, in 1991, the USMC sought for a low-altitude air defence system capable of supporting a rapidly moving LAV (also known as Light Armored Infantry (LAI)) battalion. The LAV-25 was chosen as the basis to keep pace with the unit, and configuration tests began in 1992 with a rapid-firing rotary cannon and Stinger missiles. By 1996, the Light Armored Vehicle - Air Defence (LAV-AD) was put into production and the USMC received 17 units by 1997. ➡ https://wiki.warthunder.com/unit/us_l... ✅ 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟒𝟒𝟎𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 #warthunder #nukenus #lav #lighttank #antiair #missile
