Le niveau du Danube n’a jamais été aussi bas et inquiète particulièrement en Hongrie.

Suivant l’exemple de la Roumanie, le gouvernement hongrois vient de lancer des travaux d’urgence pour aménager un barrage sur le Danube.

— 笑脸男人 (@lfx160219) August 13, 2026 Tanks are gone. The Marine Corps has a huge firepower gap and I DO NOT BELIEVE that we will have enough loitering munitions to blunt an enemy attack (especially since HQMC is looking out to sea instead of fighting the land battle). With that being said if they can mount this on a EMAV then we should be able to mount it on the ACV. Buy more, consider it a fire support vehicle so it won't carry Marines into battle, if necessary don't worry about making this version of the ACV swim but get the GCE some in house fire support!

Type your plate in and search.
