  1. You have a bit bigger issue because you already use Bushmaster II. It depends on Rheinmetall if you'll use different links for MK 30-2 and Mk 44 or Lynx will be armed with WOTAN 30 which can use Mk 44 links. But for Australians it's not an issue. Tbh they choose the first 30mm autocannon and no matter if they choose Bushmaster II, MK 30-2 or WOTAN 30 they'll not solve this problem because Americans use Bushmaster II only on Stryker Dragoon (81 pieces) meanwhile XM319 uses linkless 30mm ammunition.
  2. We need source about that. Because Spaniards use US DoD 30x173mm ammunition in Pizarros which are armed with MK 30-2.
  3. K21 has very heavy turret. Fire support version with XC-8 105HP turret is 600 to 1000 kg lighter than basic IFV. That's why they had to use composites in the structure.
  4. I'm interested how good K21 would be as a torch in engagements against North Korean armour with such a lot composites in a structure.
  5. It's easy to think what was the reference threat for Mk4. Which ATGMs had Syria around 1995 - 1999? If you answer that you'll know which protection levels the fourth Merk represents for sure. Which patent?
  6. Scheme of HITFIST-30p complete armour - WITU accidentally (or not) unveiled that during the certification.
  7. Commander sits behind the driver. Sensitive data. Borsuk is still under the development.
  8. MTU 8V199 TE20 but it may be changed for production vehicles. HSW is looking for complete replacement for MTU engines because they're expensive in terms of both service and purchase.
  9. Borsuk during the qualification tests in Drawsko. This prototype received additional armour modules on external buoyancy modules and has removed trim vane.
  10. Unfortunately GDELS asked for remove those photos.
  11. Only Rosomak-M1. 10mm steel plates in spaced array were the applique armour from Rafael. Meanwhile indigenous solution which was in Rosomak-M1M uses ceramic and polymer layers inside the array.
  12. I'll put two things into perspective 1) K2PL will be 4 tons heavier than basic K2 but it has longer chassis due to additional pair of wheels. Where does the whole additional weight go? To armour? Or maybe to longer chassis and modified shape of turret? 2) We don't know from which distance K279 was shot (and if it even was K279), if it had full charge and what was the hardness of steel plate.
  13. Always has been. Level 6 requires protection against 30mm NM225 APFSDS-T or Slovakian copy of 3UBR6.
  14. AMV XP during tests in Poland in the previous year. Polish APCs - just like Rosomak - will be amphibious.
  15. Old-type protective cover of ZSSW-30's CITV: 1. armour scheme 2. ballistic tests to achieve Level 2 STANAG 4569
