Serge reacted to David Moyes in French flair
Texelis, QinetiQ Collaborate to Develop in-wheel Electric Hub Drive Tech for Armoured Vehicles
https://www.defenseworld.net/news/29597/Texelis__QinetiQ_Collaborate_to_Develop_in_wheel_Electric_Hub_Drive_Tech_for_Armoured_Vehicles
Is this a private endeavour or is the French Army interested in hub drive?

History of Marder as per Rolf Hilmes, published by Rheinmetall: https://rheinmetall-defence.com/de/rheinmetall_defence/systems_and_products/vehicle_systems/armoured_tracked_vehicles/marder50/index.php
Translated with google translate, so there are quite a few errors.

Serge reacted to SH_MM in Tanks guns and ammunition.
On SHARD:
https://www.edrmagazine.eu/nexter-120-mm-shard-towards-tailored-apfsds-solutions
Key points:
there will be two SHARD rounds (SHARD Mk. 1 and SHARD Mk 2) SHARD Mk. 1 uses old double-base propellant, SHARD Mk 2 will utilize much higher pressure one SHARD has a longer penetrator than OFL F1 and F1B+ and is made of a new D10 tungsten carbide (this seems like a mistake from the author?) alloy from Plansee the sabot design and the fact that it is seated further down the barrel allows the SHARD catridge to contain more propellant (US did that already earlier...) accuracy is close to 0.2 mil at 1,500 m - much better than OFL F1 overall performance increase (for SHARD Mark 2 over OFL F1B+?) will be 20% SHARD Mk. 1 is to be fully qualified by 2022 -

Interesting information on Nexter's 120 SHARD ammo:
https://www.edrmagazine.eu/nexter-120-mm-shard-towards-tailored-apfsds-solutions
Redesigned sabot to use part of the barrel forward of the breech to hold more propellant.

Serge reacted to Lord_James in Kimchi armoured vehicles: K1, K2, K21 and other AFVs from Worse Korea
There needs to be a Godwin’s law for this:
The longer a company exists, the more likely they are to produce a PL-01 clone as a concept.

How fast does this tank move, that it requires a spoiler on the back

Textron may have formed a team of its own.
Both GDLS and SAIK contracts were devoted to technology demonstrators.
Here, we can see something Textron can reach without help. A dedicated page is opened on there site.

Been the first to announce something about the ARV can be a pressure to save the whole programme regarding the changes into the USMC.
