KDNS also showing off a new tank at Eurosatory. Some speculate that this is a refined version of the EMBT.

For anyone interested in following Eurosatory 2022 exhibition :

Blablachars blog will provide many posts. 

My understanding is that the first number stands for the weight class (i.e. the KF31 is a vehicle in the "30 tons class") while the second number might be for the vehicle generation (i.e. the KF31 is the first "KF" vehicle offered in the 30 tons class). However I don't think that Rheinmetall has ever confirmed this. Also note that the KF41 Lynx has an official GVW of 50 metric tons and I wouldn't be surprised if the Lynx 120 is actually exceeding that.

KF51 has 130mm gun!

Yes, but that will take time - depending on how much other stuff I have to do (and how much motiviation I have). Might take a few weeks, so I'll probably upload it in several parts.

Takes a bit longer than expected. @Wiedzmin, here is the first part. I started with the oldest report, which comes third in the document. At the moment I have only translated the first chapter, further articles will follow for the other chapters  and then for the other reports.

This is also the only report containing performance data (though it is still limited), the other reports only mention that the performance data can be found at other places. In general the report "Bericht über die Erprobungspogramme 16, 21 und 22, durchgeführt in der Zeit vom 9.05 bis 13.05.1977 und vom 14.11 bis 18.11.1977 bei der Erprobungsstelle 91 der Bundeswehr in Meppen; B – TU 1911/00" covers three different test arrays. Two of them were used for tests against 105 mm KE/38 APFSDS rounds. This version of German ERA relied on an external ignition system, as the used explosive material (Dottikon) did not detonate by itself when hit.
