  1. The LIC kit. And most important : the under-belly mine protection plate.
  2. The cost. Sabra upgrade was very expensive. So, leaving the cuppola was seen as interesting. They kept the 12,7 for free.
  3. You have not to be facing a threat to take it into account. Once more : mine protection comes from TMRP-6 probleme.
  4. Both Olifant Mk-1B and Mk-2 armor packages are similar considering there covering. Heavy armor modules stop at the middle of hatches.
  5. The title comes from a French forum where the topic devoted to CV90 is called "CV90, pourquoi tant d'amour ?" My purpose is not to bash any AFV. My purpose is to collect efficiently, in a dedicated place, informations about CV90 to help anyone to form his own opinion. This is the best to avoid fanboys attitudes. For me, I was very impressed by the Swedish consistency of the programme.
  6. The introduction of mine protection was the discovering of the TMRP-6 in Yougoslavia. The very purpose of this seat was to enshure the hull low profil by Hagglunds.
  7. Was-it a common practice just to take into account 50% percentile ?
  8. Maybe the very first tracked one could have been the Strf-90.
  9. I don't have such a data.
  10. The new roof for Strf-90 is 170mm higher. A rebuilt chassis was made at least 5 years ago. To well consider the eight of troop compartment, you must consider seats design first. Bradley, Namer... are using basic seats. CV-90s, like SPz-Puma, are using close to the floor configuration to achieve a very low profil compartment. So, comparison can't be made trough absolute figures but through momentum. By 1998, the Warrior-2000 rear compartment was 50mm higher than the initial MCV-80 one. The Bradley NG is 178mm, the futur Strf-90 will be 170mm.
  11. Taller than a Bradley : Bradley NG. Raised roof of a forseen Strf-90C upgrade. Mk-III hull.

  13. No more hanging cables. This must be a Mk-II improvment.
  14. Lets start a thread about the CV-90. Past, present, futur. Link to the Linström's page about the initial Stridsfordon-90 project : http://www.ointres.se/projekt_strf90.htm An interesting SH-MM post about evolution of CV-90 : And a summary about contenders for the forseen Czech IFV programme : http://below-the-turret-ring.blogspot.pt/2017/08/which-new-ifv-for-czech-army.html?m=1 From a well known blog.
  15. Make my day. A friend of mine told how the 155mm Trojan evaluation was made by India. It was an exceptional reverse engeneering organisation.
  16. Arjun, the very first armor-free MBT. The vegan tank.
  17. Yes. The Leclerc MBT front section is specificaly the section of French tunnels.
  18. You have storrage all around the armored roof.
  19. I don't have it but we do have it. I will open one about it. It will help keeping clear material and talks. Look at the T14 thread. I worth to be split because it deels about both K17 and Kurganets-25 too.
  20. I've found it :
