And this one is the second design using Mk-2 chassis.
Very close to the Mk-3 one.
-
Because the rear hull of the Mk-3 based Ofek is not extended. The clamshell rear door is kept.
This Mk-2´s got a ramp. -
Chassis are rebuilt with Mk3 suspension.
It’s a Mk-2. Impossible to modify a Mk-3 this way.There are three kinds of the Karnaf Ofek command post. Two using Mk-2 and one the Mk-3 chassis.

Mk-2 chassis.

In my memory, the Terrier MSV was regarded as the benchmark for the MAC.

TATA Kestrel some where high
I don’t know why, but I have a very bad feeling with the top edge 8x8 AFV.

I wish I misunderstood what I saw.
Is that the MAC ?

Modified Leopard 2 turret. Applique modules, new fire control, RWS, IFF, but all on orginal turret.
You may be right.
the barrel is short. Looks like a L44. -
The interception is made by nets.
Others ADS are not less dangerous. -

Considering the Leclerc MBT for SA army, it was only talks. Leclerc was too expensive.

I think like you.
The only exception for me was the Raytheon Battleguard. -

The AS21 is by no means based on the K21. It’s a completely new platform.

Very minor changes.
All of was already demonstrated.
So, nothing new.

French CAESAR on the way to the US-Army.

The 6x6 configuration was selected for the tests.
And Brutus is still unseen.
20 years ago, CAESAR was already tested by the US artillery. They were very interested.

The Sesspir.
No more than two of them were built.

128 Griffon APC were delivered in 2020 as planned.
So 220 were delivered.

A few other bits missing too I reckon. Pretty sure this is their blast vehicle so makes sense to leave off or just do mass dummies.
Yes. This one is devoted to destruction.

Yes.
It helps having more firepower.
Modern tanks suffer a gap between the main barrel and coax machine gun.

1 - it’s easier to move both battery and CBRN compartment than rearrange the Mk-3 fuel tanks.
2 - suspension modifications were already made with Centurion based chassis.
First third of Mk-2 and 3 sponsons are similar and we can’t see the rear part.
I don’t know if it’s in series production after 5 years, but, strangely, it appears in plenty of ceremonies.
I’m not sure they need a large number of them (they have the same satellite communication on the move capability with the Namer now) but it’s easier to maintain.
