JNT11593 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 So this is pretty random thought I had. Do Stryker A1s actually have a numeric designation? Because I'm curious if it'd be M1126A1, M1256A1, or M1296A1? Or are they just sticking to XXXX-A1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During this period, the Leclerc MBT was not mature enough. But, French engineers who followed the Swedish tests came to the conclusion they were unfair. Swedish army tried to « destroyed » the tank. When you look at the mobility results, it’s tricky. It’s not possible to argue the Leopard’s got a good mobility. Karamazov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 This time around, “the Army is not requiring any bid samples prior to contract award,” yesterday’s release makes clear. “The Army is still drafting the M&S [Modeling & Simulation] test plan which may require vendors to build early surrogate platforms” (emphasis ours), but any “surrogate” will be only “a low-level mockup (e.g., digital, wood, etc.),” not anything nearly as expensive as an actual drivable vehicle. Sheeesh, paper tigers There should be enough mostly real, very current options available now to test, (and americanise) including Namer Redback Lynx All of these probably have significant surviveability vs other IFVs and infantry. And are either real, demonstrable or approaching demonstration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if we want to split hairs it could very well be the A1 turret or another variant altogether, it will need to handle salt water after all.

This became interesting against the background of unverified information that in Iraq they were refueled every 150km. It refers to M1 Abrams, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Calingo, a spokeswoman with MARCORSYSCOM, told Marine Corps Times in an emailed statement that BAE — the manufacturer of the ACV — had selected a version of the Kongsberg medium caliber turret, or MCT-30, for a variant of the new amphib vehicle. "BAE has also informed the Marine Corps that the MCT-30 version for the Marine Corps will be a lighter weight version of the Stryker system and use the Mk44 gun which is common with US Navy applications instead of the XM813 gun used on Stryker,” Calingo said.
