    Another Merkava (Namer) ARV.

    It's good that in other countries light tanks are not called "tank destroyers". The thing is that some people believe that Sprut was made for destroying MBTs, but it wasn't (this fact is mentioned in the article I quoted).
  4. VPZ
    Maybe some new modifications of T-72 can. But we know nothing about Sprut - what types of shells does it use? Even most Russian MBTs can't use Lekalo. And Sprut is just a light tank - it shouldn't fight with MBTs, as it said in the article I quoted. The real "tank destroyers" are ATGM-carriers, or maybe Sheridan (at least, it had 152-mm gun).
  5. VPZ
    There are no relatively new Russian APFSDS in the list. Maybe this information is false, but we know that some Russian tanks (actually, all tanks except T-90A) have restrictions on shells length. Any modern MBT surpasses Sprut in all aspects except mobility.

    According to Wikipedia it can't use relatevly modern APFSDS. https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2С25 But Sprut can't destroy any modern tank, it has no advantages over them.

    Несмотря на то, что самоходная пушка 2С25 относится к классу противотанковых САУ, по своим возможностям и спектру решаемых задач «Спрут-СД» является лёгким танком. Причина, по которой САУ 2С25 изначально классифицирована как противотанковая пушка, состояла в том, что заказывающим управлением опытно-конструкторских работ являлось ГРАУ, не имевшее полномочий для разработки танков. Google Translate: Despite the fact that the 2S25 self-propelled gun belongs to the class of anti-tank SAU, the Sprut-SD is a light tank in its capabilities and range of tasks to be solved. The reason for which the SAU 2S25 was originally classified as an anti-tank gun was that the ordering management of the development work was the GRAU, which did not have the authority to develop tanks.

    No, Sprut is not effective. It can't use long APFSDS like ZBM-44M (probably due to autoloader's restriction). And even if it could, this would not give it advantage over MBTs.
  9. VPZ
    The question is "what is a tank destroyer"? Light tanks like Sprut-SD are not "tank destroyers" - they are not effective against MBTs.
  10. VPZ
    A was talking about chassis. But this vehicle concept is quite strange (for now). Maybe it will be a light/medium tank (to replace Merkava).
  11. VPZ
    The chassis in the video is not what will really be.
  12. VPZ
    Transmissions are probably produced in Israel (at least, it was so in the past).
  13. VPZ
    It has to be 30-35 tons, like modern light tanks.
  14. VPZ
    Are they going to install tank cannon on Carmel? Because, after all, army will need a replacement for Merkava.
  15. VPZ
    It's APS, in the video this thing launches interceptor to destroy RPG (2:30)
  16. VPZ
    Two types of interceptors for APS?
  17. VPZ
    It seem that all APS similar to Iron Curtain have such problem. Trophy-LV requires additional armor too, at list on such vehicles as Humvee.
  18. VPZ
    Maybe there will be a new chassis (I mean completely new, not Bradley).

    Iron Fist has passive sensors for "stealth" mode. It will be good if Rafael integrates them too.
  21. VPZ
    Could it be APS sensors for passive detection?
  22. VPZ
    https://defense-update.com/20190124_germany-to-field-trophy-aps-with-leopard-ii-tanks.html How can it look like. That must be Trophy-MV
  23. VPZ
  24. VPZ
    APC with windows?
  25. VPZ
    Because they have non-folding fins.
