  1. Comparison between conventional & hybrid cartridge case ammunition, showing the hybrid fired from a 13” barrel having a higher muzzle velocity than a conventional round fired from a 16” barrel. Only the 13” hybrid perforated the armour plate. The hybrid cartridge case is the same technology in the Next Generation Squad Weapon’s 6.8x51mm ammunition.
  2. Ze Germans have ordered as many as 24 Leopard 2 Fahrschulpanzer driving training tanks for their armed forces in two versions: 18 for the A6A3 and 8 (option of up to 32) for the 2A7V. Deliveries 2026-2029. They will replace the current A4 vehicles, in-service since 1984. https://x.com/baainbw/status/1737121245659889712?s=46&t=NgApUr0JxJVmdHJ5mss_Sw
  3. Contract signature: https://www.minister.defence.gov.au/media-releases/2023-12-08/contracts-signed-infantry-fighting-vehicles
  4. Puma S1 upgrades stumble. https://augengeradeaus.net/2023/11/neue-software-neue-probleme-fuer-den-puma/ Delivery of the first 15 upgraded delayed until Q1/2024.
  5. They also spent a lot on the Kongsberg turret for Stryker (beaten in open competition) & case-telescoped rifle ammunition (beaten in open competition during NGSW).
  6. https://www.defensenews.com/land/2023/09/06/us-army-scraps-abrams-tank-upgrade-unveils-new-modernization-plan/ M1A2 SEPv4 canned in favour of M1A3 (type-classified M1E3). Sounds a like AbramsX in some areas.
  7. Gives an indication on how expensive Boxer CRV is for Australia.
