... as seen from the 1960s:

We ended up with a subprime mover.
The IFV didn't look totally out of line.
the APC and IFV were pretty straight forward. The Helicopter artillery seems to be a cross between the AC-130 spectre and heli-mobile artillery.
but, most of them seem to suffer from turret-itis, simply adding more weapon turrets to whatever already exists.

Looks like a BMP-3. Some of the other ideas are a little strange. Does the APC have a little wheel on it? It also appears to have a hull mounted cannon for some reason. A helicopter with an artillery piece stuck into the side isn't the worst idea in the world, though you'd probably want something a little smaller. The US did put some light artillery pieces on air planes, which works fairly well. I think they've mounted 105s on AC -130s. I think they actually worked on the shotgun idea with some weapon that fired flechettes. Results were fairly unsatisfactory.
The 70's were going to be such wonderful times. I believe the Army planned to have champagne leisure camo suits too.
