The hinge-mounted armor module next to the gun mantlet consists just of four steel plates and weld lines, just as described by @Wiedzmin.
 

 
How exactly this armor is attached to the turret isn't known to me. I don't think that it is directly screwed into the trunions as there are no attachment points/screw holes, so there might be a small additional steel piece with a slightly more complex geometry.
 
Overall, it is weakspot but probably not that much different in terms of effective protection. Behind that armor block are the trunions and the mount for the gun, so the armor is basically the arrow-shaped add-on module consisting of two layers of heavy NERA, an air gap, ~350 mm of steel, an air gap with potentially some more steel inside and then 200+ mm of gun mount or the trunions.
 
 
It is solid steel.
 
 
That would be depend on what exactly Hungary ordered. IIRC they placed their order before the Leopard 2A7A1 was ordered, so there might be no connections for an APS like Trophy to the onboard power - however it is not unlikely to ammend a contract to incorporate new requirements that only became apparent during (pre-)production.
 
 
That is not really how it works.
 
 
The armor module is just solid steel plates welded together and has an overall thickness much lower than 600 mm, more like 350 mm.
 
 
Nobody knows, as the armor's performance is classified and Germany itself is not measuring armor protection in terms of "milimetres of RHA". There also is not just one AMAP package, it is a modular armor kit and it is applied/offered based on the end user's demand.
 
 
Because Trophy was initially ordered as urgent operational requirement for the Leopard 2A7A1, being preferred over other options for being more mature/battle tested. The Leopard 2A8 was only ordered as a gapfiller following the delivery of tanks to Ukraine. Integrating another APS into the Leopard 2A8 would have delayed the adoption/order by several months if not years.
 
 
It is prepared for use of KMW's Type E/Panzerung in E-Technologie armor, which is based/derived on the armor developed for the Leopard 2 PSO.
 
 
No.

Looks like new chassis for Uragan MRLS is in production

Ze Germans have ordered as many as 24 Leopard 2 Fahrschulpanzer driving training tanks for their armed forces in two versions: 18 for the A6A3 and 8 (option of up to 32) for the 2A7V. Deliveries 2026-2029. They will replace the current A4 vehicles, in-service since 1984.

Better look at Merkava armor module filler

 
 

Probably the best angle to see the construction of the armor.

Close-up of the damaged turret armor:

With the AAI ROKIT mockup being discovered not too long ago I had a figuring of there being more than just that mockup being thrown into the ROKIT program ring. Some info was found recently that makes mention that, along with AAI, Teledyne also was selected to make a mockup for the ROKIT program.
No photos were included in this document of either mockup, though more interesting would be that of what Teledyne had in mind, but at least suggests there is one more design we haven't seen yet.

More photos from ADEX 2023. 
 
These photos come from Bemil Chosun who did quite a good job at capturing photos of most of what is displayed at ADEX. 
This post will just be of the outdoor Korean vehicle displays.

A better picture of a previously posted picture of two K2s at the Hyundai Rotem factory in Changwon. The K2 with the KAPS on the left is XK2 PV-2 while tri-color camoed K2 on the right is a bit harder to determine but it could possibly be XK2 PV-1 or PV-3.

Tracked UGV used by Russian troops to deliver supplies to frontline units.

 
 
That UGV was attacked with FPV drone. Vehicle claimed to be equipped with Volnorez EW kit. In the video you can see how drone just falls to the ground when radio connection with operator was lost, as FPV drone don't have software for self-flying.

 
 
Volnorez can be seen on the rear section of the right mudguard.

 
Here is without EW kit as far as i can see. FPV drone hit vehicle, but warhead didn't detonated and bounced off, hit the ground next to UGV. UGV was not affected, continued to drive.

 
 
Wounded evac with this UGV. Volnorez EW system is mounted.

Heh, they are, brainfart moment.

Not too much new, but the first available picture of the Manned Weapon Station AFAIK.
