Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

BTR-4M look like a significant improvement over BTR-4. It seems to be a right way to go forward for Ukraine, with evolutionary approach instead of revolutionary.

Shit happens.

Hopefully noone was dead.

This is a bad photoshoped image and that is not Lance turret. Lance is made by Rheinmetall and manned (Lance RC is remotely operated), while the unmanned turret there is taken from the Puma. The turret for the Puma is made by KMW.

Interesting to see Samson RWS on Namer.

British FV4034 Challenger 2 at Hohenfels in Germany, this particular vehicle is prepared to be fitted with TES(H) up armor kit, You can see on side turret attachements for addon armor.

Google Maps actualized it's photo of Sierra Army Depot to the high quality one, highly recommend to take a look.



There is approx ~2,000 M1's stored in the Sierra Army Depot.

And below 3 photos of Anniston Army Depot maintnance and modernization facility, and the 4th photo is of Joint Systems Manufacturing Center production and modernization facility.

Seriously? Damn I didn't noticed that.

With a second look at the photo, the light is different on the turret. Good catch, methos.

Someone said that he do not like tracked Stryker presented on the lates AUSA?

Well no problem, GDLS didn't said the last word about it, this time they presents heavier variant with better suspension.

There are some design issue, the width of the tracks are too narrow for such a giant..

Here in India, BMP-2 modified and stretched onces have issue of more ground pressure coz it to sink in sand more and Mud..

Oh so You are posting a silly TV show and silly internet fanboy movie that both actually not prove or disprove anything.

I expected something more interesting, but unfortunetly, most people still use such poor and biased sources.

I was the one who said that, the picture from AUSA was simply ugly. This one above is much better looking though...

Same observation.

 

[Damian]

Remember that tracks width might be adjusted, also US Army is currently slowly fielding new tracks for lighter and medium tracked platforms, so vehicles being demonstrated by manufacturer can have different tracks than a vehicle manufactured per armed forces requirements.

I think that most people make most basic mistake by making their opinions about vehicle that is still only technology demonstrator or prototype, final product allways is more or less different.

Interesting that the British still operate rifled gun, which seems backwardness as it does not allow unification with rest of NATO and offers worse characteristics even than older short L/44 smoothbore.

Of course Britain is not on same level as Germany, France, US...
