@Wiedzmin, do you know anything about ceramic material (corundum) called B-6 which is in armor arrays used by Russian vehicles?

That's the second part. Tanks for you (and for the rest of Europe) would be produced in Poland but that would be an up-armored version (similar to Altay). Not the basic one. But still it's around 2030+ year when you can receive these tanks.

They were only because that is the MoD's need. If MoD needed 400 tanks then Hyundai would offer 400 tanks. But the year of 2023 is still fake. The official offer is that Hyundai will send 75 tanks (one battalion + 14 driving school vehicles + 3 prototypes - one for each program phase) up to 2027 (if the contract would be signed in next year) and after 2027 we can talk about the production.

Someone said 'terrible'?

That's fake. They have never offered 800 tanks.

StuG III Thread (and also other German vehicles I guess)

BTW WTF has happened with MTU's new website? It looks like they completely erased the fact of production AFV engines... -
Yes. That's radar-absorbing rubber layer type 1K2KS / 1KF2KS (thickness = 4mm) which was created to lower PT-91's RCS in Ku- and X-band.

Not at all. We know from the tests that is explicitly the performance at an angle of 60 deg. They also checked that at an angle of 30 and 75 deg.

That's 130mm but according to other Rheinmetall's patent the case of 130mm is only longer than one in 120mm, not wider. So it seems that turret without add-on armor could be quite small. Nexter has shown turret with 140mm and autoloader in own patent. And it looks like this.- 390 replies

Yes, Hyundai has realized that K2 is currently too cramped for Korean tankers. The last generation of Korean conscripts has grown a lot (circa 3 inches in 10 years) and now they need an interior space similar to one in European and American vehicles. AFAIK from people who were in K2 said the tank was similar in these terms to T-72. And now they start working on XK3 Oh, and the proof of Korean 130mm.- 390 replies
