A question from a dummy.
But if this is all so new, where is the protection against drones? Should there not be a remote controlled weapon station be on top?
The Mk2 standard is an improvement.
it’s hard to add anti-drone solutions on trucks. And RWS are rare on such vehicles. -

Because it’s optimistic to write : « However, vehicles like Leopard 2 and M1 (to a lesser degree) would have no issues firing on the move and were not limited compared to vehicles from the 90s. »
80’s tank (Leopard 2, M1, Challenger...) are limited to strictly fire on the frontal arc at low speed.
The only one able to really fire on the move on moving targets was the Leclerc MBT.
