Serge reacted to Atokara in Japan’s modern armoured vehicles
The 3 main competitors for the bid are the Mitsubishi MAV, LAV 6.0, and AMV XP. I've barely seen the LAV talked about at all so it seems like its the least likely to be picked. It still has a chance, but I don't see the AMV XP winning in this competition. The chosen APC would be replacing the Type 96 in infantry divisions, the ICV variant would be directly integrated into Japan's RDR which primarily use MCVs, and the RCV would go into the reconnaissance combat battalions of which all but 1 use the MCV.
With that being the case, the AMV XP is fighting a steep uphill battle competing against a MCV based hull with parts commonality to heavily integrate with units already using the MCV.
However it's still nice to see that Japan is opening up a bit to the international market and trying to stretch their limited budget.

Serge reacted to SH_MM in General AFV Thread
All offers in the Czech IFV program are incompatible with the requirements (lacking documentation, not revealing required performance parameters or not offering enough local workshare). Apparently program is paused, now a decision has to be made how the program should advance.

"The funding secured by Congressman Ryan will extend the service life of the tank and also integrate an unmanned turret. Additionally, it will help to develop the physical architecture and mechanical requirements needed to add an Autoloader and Automated Ammunition Handling System to the Abrams, evaluate current and emerging candidates for an Integrated Active Protection System, and develop new Abrams mobility and power architecture for conversion to a Hybrid Electric Drive propulsion and power generation system."

Mobility trials of the modernized Leclerc's recovery vehicle (DCL-R) :
Integration within the Scorpion bubble, improved mine protection and IED jammer, Scorpion RCWS, rear camera, new towing system aimed at limiting the time the crew has to spend outside.
Nothing ground breaking in itself but it will bring it in line with the renovated Leclerc.
