I was aware of that thread - but it seems to have degenerated into a repeat of why we need to keep the J to support SF, whilst this paper is about the strategic importance of AT as, well, strategic AT.
Which is why I posted it here, not there…
As the army/RM morph into Ranger and more SF type roles and packet forces for ops in Africa etc - and SF forces become ever more sneaky-beaky, there may be cases made for MV-22, C-295s and other STOL types. But that’s a different discussion for another thread.
