WASHINGTON — The US Army has said it had awarded nearly $900 million in contracts to British arms manufacturer BAE Systems and US firm General Dynamics to develop its next-generation ground combat vehicle.

The Pentagon said it had given $450 million to BAE and $440 million to General Dynamics to develop “competitive, affordable and executable designs for a new Army Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV)” over the next two years.

The vehicle, which is expected to be able to transport nine infantrymen, is due to be operational by 2018, replacing the aging Bradleys and Strykers, it said in a statement.

    Why don’t we build them here in our own backyard.

  4. Great more money spent so we can go around the world killing people so we can steal the wealth of their country. I wonder how many we tax payers will give to the new Fourth Reich Israel, so they can continue their murdering of the people of palestine.
