What are the tactical and strategic implications of this first combat deployment of the Lynx? How will it perform?
These are usually one ton plus charges so there's merit in ground based deployment, and I'm wondering about balloons, lighter than air gas, shipping containers, using heat exchange to suck a heavier than air gas up onto the local atmosphere.
Use case would be strategic, to support local night operations, for shock value. Because nothing says "my commanders plan went wrong" than a hundred foot fireball.
A conventional mine of the same size wouldn't actually do much damage in most contexts, and a CBRN mine would sort of convince the enemy that the position was denied and thus didn't need to be reinforced.
Plan might be to tempt a far larger enemy force to creep your position rather than storm it, use the mine for psychological effect to cause confusion among enemy forces in the open as to whether they reinforced the seized trench, stormed the trench from no man's land or retreated.
Because nothing says "don't storm this position" than a hundred foot fireball.

People have always overestimated the importance of small arms for the outcome of a war, which is normal due to small arms being the most relatable and most portrayed weaponry in warfare.
HOWEVER, in the last 2 decades a bunch of midwits have turned "small arms matter a lot less than you think" or the more hyperbolic (and incorrect) "small arms don't win wars" into "small arms don't matter in warfare."
That impression was worsened by veterans of campaigns in the middle east spending most of their time blasting primitive goatherders with no realistic ability to fight back with artillery and mainly using their rifles (if at all) for suppressive fire while calling in artillery.
Of course, that's not how warfare between peers works, especially about a century ago.
Small arms were extremely important and casualties aren't even the main reason. The most important aspect of a squad's loadout was (and stil is) mobility and the ability to restrict the mobility of others.
Here are the basics:
If you shoot at an entrenched enemy with a rifle you will not achieve anything, as both sides can entrench, maneuver is the instrument that fixes that issue. The way to maneuver in warfare is to suppress the enemy to avoid death while on the run. The ideal instrument of suppression is the machine gun (artillery fire is of course welcome too and highly effective, but not as dynamic, easily available, precise or reactive).
Moving over the battlefield allows for flanking or surrounding the enemy, which voids most of the advantages entrenchment gives them.
The goal in a peer conflict should never be to attack the enemy's trenches until you break through, but to outflank your opponent and force them to surrender or kill them with an advantage (achieved through movement) instead of a disadvantage.
>The Italian Army has taken a step in modernizing its fleet of combat vehicles with the arrival of the Lynx KF41 Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) at the Army Multipurpose Testing Center near Rome. This advanced platform, developed by Rheinmetall, will undergo a rigorous evaluation phase as Italy prepares for substantial investments in next-generation military vehicles. These tests, conducted by army engineers and test pilots, aim to assess the Lynx's mobility, protection, firepower, and interoperability. They represent a key phase in the modernization of Italy’s land capabilities while meeting NATO standards.
>This testing phase is part of the Armoured Infantry Combat System (AICS) program, which plans to acquire 1,050 Lynx-based vehicles through a €15 billion initiative. The program also includes the procurement of 280 Panther KF51-based main battle tanks under an €8 billion plan. The evaluation of the Lynx underscores the urgency of Italy’s modernization goals, with initial deliveries of these vehicles expected within two years, pending contract finalization by mid-2025.
>The partnership between Rheinmetall and Leonardo underpins this modernization initiative. In October 2024, the two companies announced the formation of Leonardo Rheinmetall Military Vehicles (LRMV), a joint venture focused on developing and producing advanced combat systems. Headquartered in Rome, with operations in La Spezia, the partnership combines Rheinmetall's expertise in modular vehicle design with Leonardo's capabilities in armament and electronics. The collaboration aims to develop Italian-specific versions of the Lynx and Panther KF51 while targeting export markets with European technologies

If this is true than it would be one explanation as to why so many SOF guys come back completely fucked in the head, even is they never saw extensive combat.
How does a guy go from being a successful Green Beret to wanting to blow himself up to warn Americans about Anti-Grav tech?

You shouldn't be chasing for spec values but they do exist and if you wanted to know what "better spec" values are there's a way to know which unit is desirable over another.
Most retailers won't post this info as they build NVDs to order, first come first serve, and depending on their grading scale of high, mid, low tier it may differ from retailers. If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.
Some reputable retailers:

SNR: signal to noise ratio, the amount of signal the tube can make compared to the noise
EBI: equivalent background information, how much false image appears in the screen through which the actual image has to show, sort of a noise floor of sorts
Halo: How big the circle of bloom is around lights
Photocathode Sensitivity: How sensitive the photocathode is
LP Resolution: Line pair res of the center of the image as measure against a standardized chart
If one spec is shit it negates the rest, if you have a halo of 2.0 it kinda fucks on an EBI of 0.20 if you want to do any kind of shooting and it's all a balance game
The numbers to meet or beat are
EBI under 1, preferably under 0.6 being great, 0.1 is gucci
Halo under 1, anything under 0.7 is awesome
SNR, over 25 anything over 30 is gucci
Photocathode, 1900+ is pretty great, 2500+ is stellar
Resolution of 64+ is good, 72+ is gucci

Why? Just why? Why am I forced to live in a reality where this is considered OK? Where I can clearly understand and explain the issue with this terrible design and no one gives a shit or says "it doesn't matter lol stop being autistic"?
And it's not like people don't fucking know how bad this thing is, and that's why pretty much every modern design of "tactical" rifle these days is coming with a nonreciprocating forward charging handle that can double as a forward assist.
Please give your best defense of this retarded design below, because I've yet to hear one that comes close to being convincing.
How did it come to this?
I think that the caliber will be feasible in asian and african regions.
Isn't this very inefficient>? you are using more metal for the case, also during transportation, each round occupies more space than necessary.
Why not design the round to have the perfect amount of powder when it is 100% filled to the top?

Wouldn’t it be safer and more practical if the ramp dropped at the back giving them protection from MG fire coming from the beach?
Would it go trough?
Some assumptions for the scenario:
- will be within 5 years from now.
- very little public support, lots of conscription.
- standardization very important for attrition.
- most vehicles and equipment would be destroyed early on, likely a shift to quantity over quality.
- REDFOR likely to have a large population advantage.
My personal thoughts is that it won't be a M16 or M4, which I'll explain in a comment.
