alanch90 reacted to Scav in The Leopard 2 Thread
So no direct mention of the technology used?
Bit unfortunate...
From what I've heard and seen written, the only "named" improvement has been the refinement of the hatches and utilising new steels in the construction of the vehicle, which the authors also mention could be used to reduce the weight without compromising on protection.
The leopard 2E scandal of replacing titanium with steel in the roof add-on comes to mind.
I think there's more to the story and we have to look at all the information we have, because there are quite a few discrepancies so far.
Spoilers ahead.
When you look at other nations like the US, Britain or even Russians, we don't see such large and rapid increases in armour without a radical change in density or use of ad-on armour modules.
Anyway, I'd be happy to be proven wrong if you have actual documents stating it has D tech though (not the British docs please, we all know how reliable they are).

One more, from the Michigan Army ROTC Facebook page. Looks suspiciously like hatches on the hull front.

I agree with his point that Abrams X didn't cause this decision. However I suspect GDLS knew this decision was in the making and that's why they made the Abrams X. It seems far too convenient that it checks a lot of the boxes the army was looking for.
I don't think the M1A3 will be Abrams X but I think many of the features will jump over and I wouldn't be surprised if the base turret is used in some form. How does this work though - will other firms bid on this or does it just go to GDLS as the abrams design owner?

Photo dump
Photos of the Strv Ny contenders + Leopard 2 TVM Max that participated in the competition.
Strv 2000 mockup + photos of the dummy 140mm round proposed for the Strv 2000
Strv 105
Initial deliveries of Leopard 2A4s, Strv 121s, to the P4 Garrison. They still retain their German Army camouflage and markings in most of the pictures.

A crude comparison I made between a SEPv3 and an older Abrams.

And 72 metric tones is almost 80 short tonnes, which is the weight (not clarifying in which tons) explicitly claimed by the israeli armored corps in several official publications.
