By the way, in this video, there is the first good quality image of serial version of Eitan.

Are these belts for weight distribution?

And where does it say specifically that it has the HV version on the turret?

If it looks like HV... it's HV.

Yeah, I meant the Eitan and Namer have the same turret, but their Trophy version is not yet fully known. You told MRose that the Trophy Lite (offered for the Stryker) is not the one used on the Namer/Eitan's turret.

But what about Namer (with turret)? We've already seen it - it has Trophy-HV.

46 minutes ago, Mighty_Zuk said:

We don't know that one for sure yet. The turret for the Namer and Eitan may well utilize elements from, if not the full Trophy Lite. 

After all, the whole purpose of Trophy Lite is to fit on a medium turret.

The Trophy HV also did not go without changes, and the marketing could definitely shift, by 2020, to the following:

• Trophy HV - Full spectrum defeat incl. KE.
• Trophy Lite - Anti-SC.

But we have already seen turret for Namer. Eitan has to have the same turret.

Getting the full sized version?

Yes, just like Namer.

I'd imagine this is the version going on the Eitan.

 

No.

I guess we'll have to see if this system lives up to expectations or not. The archer comes to mind for sub-par automated systems.

This howtizer and Archer are completely different systems.

And long rubber side skirts...

Thank you VPZ, Lox; any idea where I may find drawings... Elbit is not replying to emails... pfft, modellers. 

The APCs on photos that Lox posted have no Drakonit.

1 hour ago, Newtonk said:

Does anyone here have photos of the Drakonit on an Achzarit that they can share, please? I’m interested in scratch building one in 1/35 (schematics would be helpful). I’ve searched and found a few images from this year in the Golan, but nothing hi-res.

 

thanks,

Does anyone know, on what types of vehicles Spike-ER is mounted in IDF (except Defender)? Does it used on tripods?

...

Yeah, Spike-ER is in the same weight class as TOW and Kornet. But it will have 3-4 times longer range.

No. 

The Tamuz fired from the Pereh had a 25km range

Tamuz is a "heavy" ATGM.
