So I was perusing the internet and came across and interesting military vehicle that has been in development for a few years now and should be set for combat in the next 2 years. Obviously amphibious assault craft aren't new, but the fact that this one looks so much like a chimera was uncanny so I had to put it up.

This is from an American television show called Future Weapons, not sure if it's still airing though.

Well, it's missing the hull mounted flamethrower.

That, and they said heavily armored. That doesn't describe the chimera to me very well

It is pretty close when you're not splitting hairs though.

Lol, yes I'd say it looked more like an AV12 front and side vehicle. More of a hellhound chassis than chimera. But I'd assume mounting a hull flamer or XM307 as your heavy bolter wouldn't be too difficult.

Not seeing it. Sorry.

I'm at work and can't open youtube. I assume this is the EFV being developed by the Marine Corp. Correct?

Yeah, it is.

I just love how they can get giant blocks of metal to float -.-

No heavy stubbers. Just not good enough.
