Mk F3 155mm - Weaknesses

Weaknesses

Weaknesses to the Mk F3 design included a lack of nuclear-biological-chemical (NBC) protection for its crew. It also could accommodate only two of the eight crew members needed to operate the weapons system. The remaining six crew members and 25 rounds of ammunition travel in support vehicles, normally AMX-VCIs. If necessary, the additional crew members can travel on the upper deck of the vehicle, but in all cases the crew members must remain outside the vehicle and exposed to arms fire.

Famous quotes containing the word weaknesses:

    My strengths make me contemptuous. My weaknesses make me charitable.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Never yield to that temptation, which, to most young men, is very strong, of exposing other people’s weaknesses and infirmities, for the sake either of diverting the company, or of showing your own superiority. You may get the laugh on your side by it for the present; but you will make enemies by it for ever; and even those who laugh with you then, will, upon reflection, fear, and consequently hate you.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Once we know our weaknesses they cease to do us any harm.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
