“Originally referred to as a light tank, Army officials named the new
concept the Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF); this approach was intended to
dissuade service members from viewing it as a tank-like vehicle and then
employing it the same way as the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank (MBT),” Army Lt.
Col. Ben Ferguson and Capt. Lennard Salcedo wrote.
While the MPF certainly looks a lot like a tank, it is not meant to have all
the same missions as an M1 Abrams battle tank. Armored formations can be used
as battering rams to smash through enemy lines. Most importantly, main battle
tanks can destroy enemy armor.
MPF is designed to provide direct fire to engage with/destroy the types of
pediments typically faced by infantry, such as bunkers. As Army Leaders
stated this week, the name given to MPF best describes what it is: it is a
mobile platform that provides protected firepower to the infantry.
陸軍：因為怕有笨蛋把它當成M1戰車拿去打敵人的裝甲部隊
它只是拿來提供步兵直射火力 打打掩體之類的(突擊炮的概念?
However, China’s People Liberation Army has a lot of tanks in its arsenal,
according to the Defense Department’s latest report on Chinese military
power Although up to 40% of its main battle tanks are between 20 and 40 years
old, it still has 6,300 tanks overall.
中共解放軍約有6300輛戰車 但其中40%(約2500輛)是20-40年老車
(相比台灣卻將近有1000輛戰車 我國戰車還真的很多
