  1. In a nutshell : - coaxial machine gun mount is the same as the Namer turret ; - screening system is the same (very specific integration) ; - sights positions are the same ; - COAPS are not used ; - Trophy is the same ; - ATGM module is... the same ; - general geometry of the turret is the same ; - no Korean hard kill or soft kill ; but it’s not a Rafael turret... It’s not Israely too I guess ? Of course, Hanwha made a 30mm turret from scratch and by chance, the design is very close to something already existing. When I first saw this turret, I believed it was the Aselsan Korhan turret. I was wrong.
  2. I would say radar because of its shape. Or a counter-IED jammer ? From Thales ?
  3. The funniest thing with SPz-Puma is when you’re talking to PSM representatives, they quickly say it’s impossible to develop variants, the chassis is too much specific.
  4. Does anyone know the purpose of the upper radar ? Is-it to detect vertical attacks, UAVs... ?
  5. Very sexual. I prefer the Black widows.
  6. I’m curious to see the BAE proposal because they say having a remotely turret.
  7. The AS21 Redback : Korean chassis with a Rafael turret.
  8. They won’t adopt a two men crew turret and change for a remotely solution after a short period of time.
  9. So, ready to succeed to the British Warrior IFV.
  10. The French German Polyphem fibre-optic guide missile. It was cancelled in 2002 and now we are lacking such a tool. 60km rang. The Triton was supposed to be submarine version. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphem_(missile)
  11. BAE will exhibit a Norwegian CV90 with Barracuda cover at Land Forces 2018.
  12. Like many turrets today, Lance turret is available in two men, one man or remotely operated configuration.
  13. Yes. Spike ER2 is heavy too and is the export name of ... Tamuz.
  14. No. The Tamuz fired from the Pereh had a 25km range (and I guess Tsahal did not loose this capability with the Pereh withdrawal). Such a long range can be very useful. The only point is that with such a range, the platoon must be part of artillery. It can no more belong to infantry or cavalry. The flying path can interfere with air activity.
  15. For those who want to laugh at will : https://m.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/australian-military.html I love this kind of article. « I’ve understood everything about AFV but I’ve no proposal. »
  16. It’s not an M113, but... http://www.contactairlandandsea.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/afvs_abrams_aslav-768x426.jpg
  17. You’re a master killer in AFV design.
