  1. Today
  2. RPG-7 with new thermal sight from Merkuriy-Pro, called "Zyablik". Pics from Razvedos.
  3. M2A4E1 Bradley w/Iron Fist APS unveiled. https://x.com/peo_gcs/status/1785354006283301106?s=46&t=NgApUr0JxJVmdHJ5mss_Sw
  4. Yesterday
  5. images of the model, including a new lower front plate module: Doesn't have the turret add-ons or ufp add-on we've seen elsewhere but I think they might be similar to the upper level of this lfp module.
  6. Last week

    Range of 80km , is closer to lancet than shahed and it just says battery lasts for 3 hours , not the fuel for the turbine, also no optics to be seen , ist just a mockup airframe. Vtol launch from a separate drone would not be unusual but somewhat less than practical with turbine engine ,but recovery not likely to be VTOL
  8. Boxer HEL/"Jupiter" that is being tested jointly developed and by the Netherlands (energy storage and cooling systems) and Germany (effector). The laser is based on the system that has been tested on the Sachsen-class frigates, but operates at a lower power (10 kW) to reduce energy consumption. https://defence-network.com/jupiter-gtk-boxer-mit-laserwaffe/ Rheinmetall had already presented a first HEL effector on Boxer (with just 5 kW output) back in 2013.

    And first 7 minutes of this video: This system looks like it had several thigns going for it. Cheap way to intercept drones and software fusion of data from sensors and AI that allows for detection and recognition of drones, system can recognise birds which should help with lower false positives.

    French fast short-range Shaed : 80 km range, with a top speed of 400 km/h and a maximum autonomy of 3h. Can double-up as a reusable recon drone. Supposed to be launched and recovered using VTOL (though I don't see how with this design). Charge is without surprise an EFP. It can navigate without using GPS (inertial navigation? Would be expensive) in case of signal jamming. Optronic ball can detect a tank sized target at 15 km by day and 3 km by night. https://www.opex360.com/2024/04/28/le-francais-eos-technologie-a-devoile-veloce-330-une-munition-teleoperee-pouvant-voler-a-400-km-h/
  11. Leo 2 in Moscow. Interesting thing that in order to move it engineers jihaded T-80 rollers to it.
  12. Submunitions can be stopped with NERA or something along those lines, not too difficult and doesn't eat too much weight. RPG-7 warhead is different subject, if we speak about olders ones - NERA can somewhat work. With more modern and tandem HEAT shots for RPG-7 situation is different - non-APS solutions will need quite a significant ooph, so ERA+ceramic/NERA under it, this adds quite a weight and bulk to roof. Against drones APS are not THAT hard, in fact there are ways to use something like SMASH-based or similar-ish systems, interceptor drones (Anduril company have such a thing with kinetic interceptor), use existing APS with software update, etc.
  13. The recent Naval focused YIDEX 2024 has a ground vehicle display this year as well. While mainly comprising of ROKMC vehicles you can see the N-WAV with an extendible periscope for view over the splash guard along with an electric KLTV on display.
  14. First test flight of the Racer https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/airbus-racer-maiden-flight
  15. Kimichi cope cages , look like they were roofs lifted straight from a kiosk https://streamable.com/a4ycp0
  16. Video that also covers the XK-1 design and development:
  17. Talking about ballistic testing on Prototype/Pilot Vehicle 11 (PV 11), here is a video that mentions the testing of early pre-series M1 (XM1) tanks:
