TL;DR

The US Army has unveiled the M10 Booker Combat Vehicle, a heavily armed and armored vehicle designed to support infantry brigades by suppressing and destroying fortifications, gun systems, and trench routes, and providing protection against enemy armored vehicles. The vehicle is named after two soldiers who died in combat, Staff Sgt. Stevon Booker and Robert Booker, and is part of a larger push to update how the Army travels to combat and fights when there. The M10 resembles something between a Soviet BMP-2 amphibious infantry fighting vehicle and a small Abrams tank, and will be produced at full capacity, with the Army expecting to produce three new M10s per month.
