@Umbe_b Yes.

Looks like the StrykerX (now called the Stryker QB) will be returning to AUSA, but the AbramsX will not.
Edit: The Army Science Board released their final report on the 5th Generation Combat Vehicle recently, which features a clear, crisp image (finally) of one of the OMT designs. It 404s when linking but is available on their site.

Leopard 1BE measurements at Gunfire museum (July 22).
Mantlet was not really doable due to time constraints.
Leopard 1A5BE MEXAS light skirts were ~20mm, had a "plywood" texture, probably some type of aramid composite as it was quite heavy.
LFP add-on thickness: 140mm
UFP add-on thickness: 105mm
Turret left side add-on was 260mm LOS, not including stand-off, only the vertical angle.
The add-on on the hull was made of a single thin steel plate, about 6mm, with some kind of foam backer, probably PU foam, roughly 20-30mm thick and "brittle" to the touch.
Variance of about 2mm due to paint etc.
If anyone knows of a way to improve the chances to measure convex and rough surfaces with a TM-8818 and log them, feel free to share.
@Wiedzmin I might go back for mantlet if needed...

LoooSeR reacted to Wiedzmin in CV-90, why so much love ?
thanks to @skylancer-3441 measures on vehicle and photos, i corrected my previous estimations based on vehicle photogrammetry which had theory about 150mm thickness of block overall
steel plates also have a thin layer of some fiber in coating

LoooSeR got a reaction from Stimpy75 in North Korean armor: little Kim's less explosive tools
NK repaired and build new structures at their tank factory. On footage of M2020 people managed to spot buildings that they used to geolocate. Maybe M2020 production line?
And slightly bigger pics of NK Stryker. Looks like he was driving ATGM carrier version.

ATAC System Demonstrator also know as Thumper, to receive the 140mm gun tube and a functional rearm port, 1992.
Warren Jones, right, project officer for the U.S. Army, instructs Oak Ridge National Laboratory staff on how an M1 Abrams tank operates in September 1992. From left are Dong-Soo Kwon, Carol Scott, Sam Meacham, Jim Hannah, and Katie Vandergriff.
Katie Vandergriff and Jim Hannah helped develop the ATAC System Demonstrator's rearm port, they also developed the Future Armor Rearm System (FARS).
Compared to it's first appearance (1988), Thumper received weight simulators in the turret, they also changed the mudguards? Or the turret was assembled on another M1A1 chassis. The XM291 gun got removed from the turret to change the gun tube, from the 120mm L/56 (6.75m) gun tube, to the 140mm L/48 (6.75m) gun tube to test the FARS with the new two-piece ATAC 140-mm ammunition.
The ATAC System Demonstrator and the FARS are sitting together at Sierra Army Depot.
