Several pics related to AS21 Redback have appeared on twitter and elsewhere over the last couple of days
from latest DTR 2019-07  http://defencetechnologyreview.realviewdigital.com/#folio=50
- and also from EOS pdf presentation - photos of mockup (mockups?) - or whatever that is - of EOS T2000 turret:

 

 
and also more pics of unfinished hull (next to that turret or outside) - from DTR twitter https://twitter.com/DTRmag/status/1146928739671928832 (originally from Hanwha facebook page) and from one of bemil.chosun.com blogs (although it seems to me that some of the latter were originally posted on instagram):

Wehrtechnik 1971-04, advert with silhouette of that APC as well as some other vehicles by EWK:

 
Wehrtechnik 1972-01, another advert with relatively good quality photo of P3 test vehicle:

 
Wehrtechnik 1976-08, EWK advert had a colourfull photo of P3:

 
and another colourfull pic of P3 from cover of Wehrtechnik 1976-05:

 
this issue also had an article (in german) on P3 - which, among its pictures has a articst's drawing on possible look of another vehicle by EWK


P3 next to APE:

and also some proposals based on EWK's experience with P3 and APE:

both pics from article in IDR 1978-08:
 
another article - single page, from IDR 1981-08
 
and another article - in german, two pages from Wehrtechnik 1979-03
 
btw, APE once was on Wehrtechnik's cover:

 
and there was also an advert in Wehrtechnik 1977-12:


and another pic of APE in Wehrtechnik 1977-08:

Yes.
The reson is simple - accuracy. Heavy gun mantled mask will couse some balnace problem - of course wy can weight good gun whit some countr-balance but whole solution weight a lot - like in Rh120. And this forced more powerfull stabilisation mehanism or a little bit slower in case micro -movment. In Leclerc ultra light gun mantled mask provide better gun ballance and ability to have very fast but very small in amplitude gun movments -so accuracy aspecially in move is better.
Second problem is gun vibration after shooting. Heavy gun mantled mask made some problem whit this - like in case L55 on Leo -wich is less accuracy then old L44... all is coused by vibration on ultra-long barrel after shooting. Agian - heavy gun mantled mask make some problem whit vibration reduction, light gun mantled mask + shorter gun in Leclerc = no sucht problem.
And third part of answer - Leclerc was highly redy for 140mm gun.

Found some interesting stuff via Google search. Seems to be some brand new bridgelaying concept for Leopard 2.

kek, Separ in Russian is a slang term for E.Ukrainian separatists.

Soucy Composite Rubber Track:

4:05 - Current 45-47t. metric limit
6:35 - In the next 5 years, 55t.

Although it is a continuous band track.

Since posting patent images seems to be en vogue...
 
KMW's AGM integrated into a truck:


 
KMW's APVT is apparently a modular vehicle, which is only amphibious when fitted with a special module. To minimize the vehicle's dimensions, the base vehicle does not include an engine (thus the engine for driving on land can have different sizes depending on mission module - in case of the APVT's amphibious configuration it is small):



 
Rheinmetall also recently patented a concept for an amphibious vehicle, which has an extendable mid-section of the hull (for greater buoyancy):


 

T-64BV added.
Also added spoilers to make page a bit shorter, faster to scroll.
This was the last vehicle that this guide will cover, BTW. So yes, after several years it is finally done!

And a bit more was pointed out on otvaga - device on top of gun mantlet on K2 is Friend-or-Foe system antenna that sends identification request

 
   Same system is being mounted on K1A2

 
   Antenna that "answer" to Identification request (in the middle)
 
   Same system on K21 IFV
 

You guys should see how much Active Duty soldiers freak out and revert to "if it ain't broke don't fix it" every time something new from a vehicle to a internet website gets introduced lol.
