Australia's military prowess like never before as we delve into the heart of the AS21 Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicle: the newly announced armored innovation set to revamp the Australian Army!

Redback's deadly capabilities and its pivotal role in shaping the future of defense tactics. From its cutting-edge weaponry to advanced protective systems, discover how this formidable machine is poised to dominate the battlefield.

As ex Armoured Corp and an EX M113 operator I can say without a doubt this is LONG overdue and is a good step up, HOWEVER the number being delivered is laughable 129 will not give us the capability to have more than training vehicles at Puka and one Mechanised Infantry Battalion. With the number required to be held in war stocks.

This means the reserves and even some regular units will still have to continue to train with the M113 as the redbacks will likely be transfered to the deployable standby brigade as they rotate through the 3 year cycle. Having been involved in the M113’s first refit Post Vietnam, I could tell you some aspects that would send a shiver down the spine of anyone who’s relied on them for protection.

It was never anticipated that they would remain in Service anywhere near the length of time the reduction in purchase from the full 400 is a grave miscalculation by our current government in the requirements of our army.
