    1 - it’s easier to move both battery and CBRN compartment than rearrange the Mk-3 fuel tanks. 2 - suspension modifications were already made with Centurion based chassis. First third of Mk-2 and 3 sponsons are similar and we can’t see the rear part. I don’t know if it’s in series production after 5 years, but, strangely, it appears in plenty of ceremonies. I’m not sure they need a large number of them (they have the same satellite communication on the move capability with the Namer now) but it’s easier to maintain.

    And this one is the second design using Mk-2 chassis. Very close to the Mk-3 one.
  3. Serge
    Because the rear hull of the Mk-3 based Ofek is not extended. The clamshell rear door is kept. This Mk-2´s got a ramp.
  4. Serge
    Chassis are rebuilt with Mk3 suspension. It’s a Mk-2. Impossible to modify a Mk-3 this way. There are three kinds of the Karnaf Ofek command post. Two using Mk-2 and one the Mk-3 chassis.
  5. Serge
    Mk-2 chassis.

    In my memory, the Terrier MSV was regarded as the benchmark for the MAC.

    The next engineer close support vehicle ? https://www.edrmagazine.eu/cnim-and-texelis-unveil-their-concept-for-the-french-army-mac-future-engineers-armoured-vehicle

    I don’t know why, but I have a very bad feeling with the top edge 8x8 AFV.
  9. Serge
    I wish I misunderstood what I saw. Is that the MAC ? Module d’Appui au Contact. The French next ECV.
  10. Serge
    You may be right. the barrel is short. Looks like a L44.

    The interception is made by nets. Others ADS are not less dangerous.

    Leopard 2 upgraded with an Altaÿ turret ?
  13. Serge
    Something new. https://www.morris-ip.com/cpi-arc-system/

    Considering the Leclerc MBT for SA army, it was only talks. Leclerc was too expensive.
  15. Serge
    I think like you. The only exception for me was the Raytheon Battleguard.
  16. Serge
    The AS21 is by no means based on the K21. It’s a completely new platform.
  17. Serge
    Very minor changes. All of was already demonstrated. So, nothing new.

    French CAESAR on the way to the US-Army. https://www.forcesoperations.com/nexter-et-le-caesar-6x6-retenus-par-lus-army/ The 6x6 configuration was selected for the tests. And Brutus is still unseen. 20 years ago, CAESAR was already tested by the US artillery. They were very interested.
  19. Serge
    Where is the rumour ? It’s an old model.
  20. Serge
    The Sesspir. No more than two of them were built.
  21. Serge
    128 Griffon APC were delivered in 2020 as planned. https://www.nexter-group.fr/en/actualites/nos-dernieres-actualites/nexter-thales-et-arquus-succeed-presenting-128-griffons-planned So 220 were delivered.
  22. Serge
    More details about the Griffon command post. https://defense-update.com/20201126_griffon-epc.html
  23. Serge
    French Griffon command post.
  24. Serge
    Yes. This one is devoted to destruction.
  25. Serge
    Yes. It helps having more firepower. Modern tanks suffer a gap between the main barrel and coax machine gun.
