The ‘new’ Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) was created to replace the Cold War/Viet Nam era M113, it is actually based on another Cold War era infantry vehicle known as the M2/M3 Bradley. The British empire (Commonwealth of Nations) company BAE Systems (formerly known as British Aerospace or BAe) took over Bradley production when it bought-out United Defense in 2005. Also, BAE produces the new M109A7 self propelled artillery gun, which is based on the M2 Bradley hull. BAE also produces the towed artillery gun M777. BAE even produced modified versions of M113s for Canada. In 2008, BAE took over M113 upgrades for Australia. (Clue, BAE M113s have six roadwheels instead of five)

In 2014, the U.S. Army awarded a taxpayer funded contract to BAE to modify 2-thousand-907 Bradleys into AMPVs, to replace M113s.

I’m a Cold War veteran (signing-up in 1982, the year after the Bradley began service) and I remember that the Bradley was first sold to the U.S. public as being the replacement for the M113, yet here we are more than 40 years later and we are still using the M113, but now both the M113 and Bradleys, and their ‘new’ replacements, are made by a British empire company!

The BAE AMPV began testing in 2017, on the Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG) in Arizona. Five variants were proposed. It was kind of a ‘no shit, Sherlock’ moment when they promoted the AMPV as being bigger than the M113, when the AMPV is just a modified Bradley, which is naturally bigger than the M113.

In 2018, testing shifted to Fort Hood, Texas. The AMPV is intended to replace five variants of the M113: Medical Treatment, Ambulance, General Purpose, Mortar Carriers, and Command Post.

In 2021-22, testing moved to the jungles of Panama (reportedly the first U.S. tracked vehicle tested in Panama since the 1980s) and the snow/ice of Alaska.

On 06MAR2023, the Farnborough, United Kingdom, based BAE Systems was ‘awarded’ a U.S. taxpayer funded for mass produced AMPVs, which will replace the M113s and LAVs (Light Armored Vehicles) donated to Ukraine!

On 14MAR2023, the U.S. Army revealed that the Department of Defense’s 2024 budget already includes purchase of AMPVs.

Also on 14MAR2023, the U.S. Army’s 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team-3rd Infantry Division, on Fort Stewart, Georgia, is already equipped with the new AMPV! And the U.S. Army reportedly is asking for mass production of 16 AMPVs per month for the next two years!

Return to the Empire: In the late 1990s, under the Bill Clinton regime, Marconi Electronic Systems (MES, originally an Italian company) began taking over U.S. defense contractors. In 1999, MES and BAe merged to create BAE Systems, apparently to stop a U.S. defense contractor from taking over MES. In 2001, the same year the False Flag War on Terror began, BAE Systems aggressively invaded the U.S. defense industry, taking over many U.S. companies, including cyber security companies.

BAE modifies electronic warfare aircraft for the USAF, all profits to the British?

The U.S. Marine Corps’ SUPER IMPRESSIVE E-F-V was canceled in favor of the less effective BAE A-C-V!
