Another video detailing ROK armored vehicles, this time the K9.
The video itself is pretty neat, detailing what looks to be an XK9.
But there are two larger points of interest, being the footage of the XK9 prototypes firing at the beginning of the video, and the XK9 developmental model.

"Chelnok" UGV with UR-83P mine clearing system on it. UGV made on the base of 4x4 ATVs like Sherp. Electric engines, 1.3t weight of the UGV, low pressure tires can be set on such pressure that AT mines won't be set of by this vehicle.
Another UGV in the background of Chelnok pics

Since twitter only embeds the first post of a thread for non-registered users, here's something from the Swiss evaluation of M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 (1981):

Laviduce reacted to Wiedzmin in DRDO; India's Porsche
the final version of Arjun's calculations, all the thicknesses of the plates correspond to the real ones according to the nomenclature of the armor plates (those that existed), the dimensions of the special armor of the turret may not be accurate because there is nothing to check them with, 2 fuel tanks inside the engine bay have been added to the diagram which were not previously visible, more accurate estimates only possible if someone undertakes to build 3D...
*pink plate - pure frp

Laviduce reacted to SH_MM in The Leopard 2 Thread
So the "Leopard 3" is moving along. This is not the MGCS or Panther, but a new program (or at the moment, just a study) as a back-up to the MGCS.
According to Welt, the German government has a awarded an R&D contract to Rheinmetall, but Rheinmetall itself lists the project as a joint-venture (see above)... so likely KMW is also included. Little is publkicly known about the project, but Rheinmetall CEO Papperger believes that "many" Panther technologies such as the 130 mm L52 and autoloader will find its way into it.

A video showing a ROK T-80U at the ROK Army Armor School.
Sadly no interior shots for this video, but still nice to get a dedicated video for the T-80U.

The DRDO Light Tank will weigh about 25 tons and have a crew of three. The tank is planned to sport a 105mm rifled bore gun. This will be capable of firing FSAPDS rounds with 500mm of penetration, HEAT, HESH and ATGMs among others. The planned gun elevation is between -10° and +42° controlled by an electrically powered gun control system. An autoloader will be provided for the main gun.
Secondary armament includes a 7.62mm coaxial gun and a 12.7mm RCWS. Surveillance drones will be integrated with the tank. A diesel engine would be provided which DRDO claims would provide up to 32hp/ton at sea level. The amphibious tank can ford depths of 1.5m. The tank can attain a maximum speed of over 65kmph and will use rubber tracks.

Glorious Arjun's frontal hull armor via @Wiedzmin on Otvaga. Very T-72M1-esque.
