Serge reacted to Cleb in Kimchi armoured vehicles: K1, K2, K21 and other AFVs from Worse Korea
Kind of sort of a Korean tank but also not really. The Chieftain posted a few pictures this past weekend of an interesting proposal by AAI to the South Koreans for the ROKIT program. As with everything AAI there's nothing online that I could find outside of what The Chieftain posted so I'm not sure of any details beyond what his Facebook post says. I'll keep looking for info but I'm doubtful I'll find anything online.

Serge reacted to Alzoc in Main Ground Combat System (MGCS) and Euro Main Battle Tank (EMBT)
Video of the new version of the EMBT presented at Eurosatory 2022 :
Lifted turret with the turret basket visible and some slow rolling (no shooting though).

Serge reacted to Alzoc in Non-exploding infantry hardware thread.
French army is apparently also changing it's infantry camo (delivery in 2024) with an (almost) omni-environment pattern. Base camo will be used for woodland/grass/urban/desert/mountain and a variant of the same pattern will be used for an all snow environment. Apparently they focused a lot on how a change in lightning will modify how the eye perceive the pattern :
Same base color as the new Scorpion camo for the vehicles with the possibility to add active camo on top of it in the future (for infantry that may be a bit optimistic) :
Seems everybody is going toward an unique camouflage pattern.

GD has revamped their website, and given us a look at their ARV candidate- along with what appears to be a slight redesign of their OMFV.

Interesting article about Nexter ERa developments.
https://www.forcesoperations.com/de-nouveaux-blindages-reactifs-en-developpement-chez-nexter-arrowtech/
No accurate details, of course, but :
- New ERA available in 2025
- CERA available in 2026 ;
- EPRA available by 2030.
EPRA will be able to react differently according to the attack.

Early French 120 mm smoothbore APFSDS prototypes, the dates on the cartridges show the years 1976 and 1977. They are related to the AMX-30 valorisé program (related to AMX-32 development).

This can be linked to the gradual evolution of French 120 mm APFSDS throughout their development phase (note the OFL 120 G1 on the far right ) :
