@Ramlaen
The one next to the M256 is definitely a XM360.
Note that wire/cable running alongside and over the breech and the three pistons (for, IIRC, a two-stage recoil) on top.
However, the two guns in the group pictures are most likely M35s for the M10. There are bore evacuators (the M35 should also have an internal evacuator fan to resolve that toxic fumes issue the M10 suffered from during trials) and there are barrel shroud clamp assemblies (I assume they're clamps) right behind the muzzles. The XM360 features a pepperpot muzzle brake (even on the AbramsX, which should've been using a XM360E1 since most of the technical legwork for its installation should've already been done, but they still went with the original XM360), but the Booker's M35 doesn't.

not sure, maybe M35 for M10

ATAC System demonstrator also known as "THUMPER" remotely firing the 140mm gun tube which got installed in 1992.

*sigh* And another one bites the dust...

BAE and Rheinmetall are probably dancing in the aisles now...

We've all seen this one, but, hey - kudos to that gunner for punching above his weight:

I know this belongs in the Brit thread, but - oh well: AGS' low-profile turret slapped on top of a Centurion Mk.V

An oddity. SEPv3 hull, weird turret. Unsure if it's a mockup, photoshop, or whatever have you.

"NASA’s Mars Architecture Team (MAT) has recently developed a collection of concepts to assess the capabilities and constraints presented by architectures incorporating large-scale Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) propellant production. The focus of this manuscript is on the concept design of chemical propellant-based transportation systems including a dual role lander/ascent vehicle and an in-space transporter. Mission performance analyses performed during a recent design analysis cycle derived the 300,000 kg propellant production capacity utilized for preliminary concept designs of enabling surface ISRU systems, power systems, fluid handling systems, and their concept of operation, detailed in companion papers."

Some of the highlights of the call.
-A2, A3 and A4 in September 2025, 2026 and 2028
-A2 delay comes from needing to understand an ablation of the heat shield during the skip that was different than expected, the circuitry of a co2 scrubber and battery connections for the LAS
-Starship flight 3 in Feb, will not be a prop transfer
-no changes to the mission plan of A2 and A3
-uncrewed HLS demo in 2025, will be both a landing and liftoff
-NASA asking SX and BO about cargo versions of their HLS

Do we have a thread for the KF51 or are we just lumping it into the Leopard thread?

It's always nice to see M1s with actual effort put into camouflaging them for woodland environments.
