Lighter armored vehicles

Article Abstract:

The Canadian Army is opting for wheeled armored vehicles instead of tracked systems in order to meet its goal of transforming into a medium-weight force. The transformation plan will see the Leopard replaced by the US-built Mobile Gun System (MGS), a TOW-under-armor system outfitted on a wheeled armor chassis and a Multi-Mission Effects Vehicles (MMEV).
