Scolopax reacted to Renegade334 in General artillery, SPGs, MLRS and long range ATGMs thread.
From tank-net:
A 2001 precursor to the XM1299, the M109A6+ with its 52-caliber, 155mm M284 gun.
EDIT: the M109A6+ was also dubbed "International Howitzer" and boasted several improved capabilities. Aside from its 52-caliber, JBMOU-compliant and Watervliet Arsenal-built M284 gun, it also sported a semi-automatic rammer, an automatic fire control system and a modified suspension.

Unconventional urban camo for some PUMA IFVs. Knowing German procurement I'm sure the taxpayer paid thousands for those pallets. Still, not a bad job.

The K9A1 and K10 have made their way to Yuma.
In mid-September a K9A1 & K10 were demonstrated at Yuma Proving Grounds for interoperability and ammunition testing which this demonstration had the K9A1 fire the M795 as well as the XM1113. The K10 also was used to demonstrate the compatibility of loading US ammunition.

An interesting thing is that there is an iron vision-esque sensor cluster sitting over the left shoulder of the driver on the IFV.

Walk around an early version of the T-80B without OKR "Otrazheniye" with eyebrows. One roller at 2:36 is even earlier, from Object 219 with stiffeners.

Scolopax reacted to SH_MM in General AFV Thread
GDELS is developing/offering a whole family of vehicles based on the Pandur EVO.
IFV, anti-tank, SHORAD and mortar carrier variants. More details here: https://esut.de/2022/08/fachbeitraege/ruestung/36452/pandur-evolution-6x6-taktische-und-strategische-mobilitaet-der-extraklasse/
Internal construction details. The basic Pandur EVO doesn't feature fuel tanks under armor, but it is an option (seen on the lower right).
Pandur EVO configured as APC for 3 + 8 men.
Demonstrators for a possible SHORAD system based on Pandur EVO. The SAAB G1X radar is carried on a Pandur EVO production model, the improved design (with integrated headlights) is fitted with an MISTRAL ATLAS RC turret. https://www.militaeraktuell.at/gdels-zeigt-neue-versionen-des-pandur-6x6-evo/

Mother's July trip to Georgia to a friend and to relatives. Some photos were made from a car and few have horizon not exactly horizontal, but damn places are pretty.

GD has revamped their website, and given us a look at their ARV candidate- along with what appears to be a slight redesign of their OMFV.
