Does anyone else think the Cav will soon be no more?
The Piranhas are an Infantry Vehicle, The proposed LTAVs,by all reports will also be an infantry vehicle. The last bastion of armour(as in an armoured vehicle with a heavy weapon of some sort) in the Cav,the Scorpions and Panhards,will soon be obsolete,with no replacment in sight.
So where will the cav go? Unless I'm mistaken at the moment they are limited to a motorised recce role. Will the Infantry batallion be reorganised as a mechanised batallion, with what remains of the cav becoming their recce coy?
Take a look at the use of armour overseas to see how it could be in the future.
