Funny they can make a M8 AGS but the companies that have said they had a M992 coming are falling short!!!

And no Eitan, too. Oh, wait, no one said they’d kit that. Yeah, it is odd, given the massive demand there’d be for a ‘992, all those M109 with no ammo, that a vehicle not in service is kitted. Has anyone scratch built an M992? That may help...

Very happy to see the M8 - maybe convert it into the 120mm Thunderbolt version? The M8 has been put forward for the US Army Mobile Protected Firepower requirement, so it may yet go into service.
