It’s clear on the sketch section.

You’ve missed something. We have seen a break with the introduction of Abrams and Leopard-2 MBT. They are armored, fast enought and (most important) they have large internal volume and energy production. So they do have very good basics and plenty of capabilities. The Leclerc will disappear earlier because it was not produced at large scale. The Challenger-2 is badly organised. And, if you quote T-34, look at this : So Leopard-2 have a multi-decades life expectancy. Ask yourself : did the Mk4 introduction discredit the Merkava Mk3 ? I don’t think so.
-
My purpose was the following : I believe Leopard-2 tanks will remain in service by 2060 or even latter. So the chassis hull change can be an option to try : - to reduce the weight to keep fuel consumption low and so the operating cost ; - to improve the mine/IED protection. In a way, it’s like the Stryker DVH introduction. But here, the test is to pass from the « gained » protection level to a native one. I didn’t realised right Abrams skirt was different because of the ammo compartment. Even with this : Is their a way considered to reduced Leo-2 weight ?

The best ever French figure :

So it can be interesting to introduced a new hull with two possible designs (according Army needs) : - a shorten hull to keep focussing on weight reduction ; - a same length rearranged hull with the move of the ammo rack to a rear segragated compartment (an Abrams like compartment). So, at the front, we can have two options : - move the pilote to the center to improve its protection ; - add a left modular volume to accept mission kit or a fifth crewman. Whatever the configuration, the suspension would be hydro-gaz to have better IED protection

This is not bodyarmor.

There are 3 plates. The lower part is missing.

Visual effect ?

Is-there a project to change the Leopard-2 powerpack ? Something more compact, lighter...
-
VBC-90 was so nice.

What is the main difference between the A7 and A7V standards ? What are external differences ?
-
It depends on what you want to achieve but the rule is the following : when heavy load must be carried, use track drive train. It more compact by a 1/3. Considering just the weight, if you want to put Leclerc MBT on wheels, you will have 6 more tons. Abrams or Leopard will be higher by 2t. I don’t want to think about Challenger 2 or Merkava Mk4. And I don’t think about cross country capability.
-
Yes but plenty of versions will be 4 men crew or below (ARV, mortar carrier...). And, they don’t have light forces. So, this is not so irelevant. Edit : Don’t forget the Emiri Guard.

Good

Yes. With Merk Mk3, this is a 3 pieces package.
-
During the sighting process, le N-LAW calculate the angular velocity of the target. When fired, the missile will fly according to the angular velocity. So, the curb corresponding to 0 deg/s is a straight line. There is no guidance at all. The RBS is blind. -
A good old one. Used by Eshel to answer to the Merkava under power controversy in Armor
-
The L16 mortar can be used dismounted. It’s lighter and harder to be spoted.
-
The CV90BK is made from the former Mk-2 chassis, not the Mk-3 one. So, it can be interesting to save the turret weight to keep it to mine protection (I don’t know if the underbelly was reinforced.). The 81mm is weak to be used to support armored units. 120mm is far better. The use of such a tiny caliber on such a capable chassis is an oversized choice. The new and the old mortar carrier.
-
Both solutions are interesting. Here, the CV-90 Multivogn is universal carrier. It can performe as a mortar carrier, but as a cargo carrier, an APC too. At a low price.

To patrol along the border ?
