During the Michigan Defense Expo 2026 presentation, the appearance of two proposed designs for the U.S. Army’s next-generation infantry fighting vehicle, currently designated XM30, was revealed.

The first proposal is the Wolf by General Dynamics Land Systems, an entirely new design. The second is the Lynx by American Rheinmetall, which represents a further evolution of the already well-known KF41 Lynx developed by Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH.

On May 19, 1984, the USSR officially adopted the GMZ-3 “Granilnik” tracked mine-laying vehicle into service.

Built on the 2S3M Akatsiya chassis, the GMZ-3 was designed for rapid deployment of anti-tank minefields near enemy positions, including mines with both contact and non-contact fuzes. It could lay and camouflage mines in any weather, day or night, while automatically recording minefield coordinates and deployment data.

Produced from 1984 to 1997.

The quadruple installation of four-barreled machine guns GShG-7,62 on the chassis of the KAMAZ-4385 armored truck of one of the Russian mobile fire groups.

It's terrifying to imagine the density of fire and the amount of ammunition consumed by this monster.
