UAV's threat and some analysis how to counter them.

Another air def. booklet from Molnibalage: MANPADS

No, they won't. The project is still in the conception phase, it has yet to be decided which company will be contracted to make which parts and who will end up the primary contractor for each vehicle. The only decision that has been made yet, is that German companies (KMW, Rheinmetall, or others) will be awarded the primary contracts (system integration) for the MGCS next-generation tank, the CIFS next-generation self-propelled gun and the EuroMALE drone. A French company (Dassault or Airbus) will be awarded the primary contract for the next-generation jet aircraft of both countries, the FCAS.

Didn't know that, but apparently a lot of British soldiers over at ARRSE don't seem to bother distinguishing between the different use-cases.
 
 
Nexter and KMW didn't merge yet, this is becoming one of the most common internet myths. Both Nexter and KMW still exist as separate entities with their own marketing units, their own CEOs, their own R&D divisions, etc. KMW and Nexter both gave the shares of their companies to a common holding (KDNS), which is owned by Nexter and the family that owned KMW. The two separate companies will try to cooperate by marketing each others products and not competing for the same contracts; further integration of both companies is possible, but only when this becomes viable from a business stand-point.
 
 
Sorry, but your whole post is just baseless speculation. First of all: BAE Systems and Rheinmetall have one joint-venture for one specific market: they have not joined operations on all markets (just regional) and only try to provide vehicles to this market. I've seen a lot of people in other forums thinking like you, assuming that BAE Systemsn and Rheinmetall would now act as a single company. That is not true.
 
Both BAE Systems and Rheinmetall have tons of other joint-ventures. For example you mentioned the Boxer and Puma: both made by joint-ventures between KMW and Rheinmetall (and these aren't the only JVs between both companies). As a matter of fact, Rheinmetall also has joint-ventures with states: in Romania there is/was a JV with the Ministry of Economy, while there is a JV with the Ministry of Defence in Qatar. As for the Lynx: KMW never has been active on the IFV market (neither had been Krauss-Maffei) until the NGP/NeSPz projects, while Rheinmetall has been making Leopard 1 and 2 tanks (or rather MaK, which was acquired by Rheinmetall). So your logic is inverse.

This is the translation of the long Hungarian book what Molnibalage made in cooperation with other guys for ex. with Hpaps, he is well known for the SamSim.
This is the whole, in Hungarian: click here

Because these chapters (booklets) just a part of a big book are some parts in the document which refer to content of the book in other chapters. Slowly the whole book will be translated, but it could take years to finish it.

Have a good reading!
