Most countries don’t have a Javelin equivalent and it’s not because they can’t make one. To make a Javelin style missile it will cost you more than other ATGMs. Javelin is also shorter ranged than most other ATGMs. Russia has plenty of good ATGMS.
That's by design. It's manportable and the US really hasn't had a need to invest in longer range ATGMs something along the lines of the Spike until recently.

Look at that barrel wobble, that's a mockup.
For the Brazilian tank program.

Yes, but they say that it will not necessary be on a serial vehicle (if it will be).
That seems a little bit more affordable.

Hyundai Rotem seems to be taking a page out of the Polish handbook with their newest MBT concept. I dont understand the idea behind building a super tank on paper only for it to never actually happen and the designing company to come out the other end with worse off brand reputation afterwards. The K2 is one of my favorite MBTs so to see H R roll out with a project overtaking the PL01 in fantasy BS is a little disappointing as I would expect better than this empty marketing from them.
The author literally says it's from Israel's Carmel program. Wonder if they're going to use Israeli brains and what not or try to indigenize all of the technologies.

Wonder if any Eitans got delivered.

Unknown for sure.
Only way I could see it working in SAM mode. It might work like the Starstreak but that would be limited.

Related to Army 2020 expo, one of russian forum members comments about Hermes.
Does it still have an IR seeker?

TEL with guidance control system (of some sorts)
Just launchers without any FCS
Is that a radar or a datalink? If it flies in a flat trajectory don't imagine it will be range of the launcher for too long. Does it have a SAM mode?

I think that the guided ammo is used by Derivatsiya-PVO. I don't know if it's interchangeable with the T-15 gun ammo.
Probably closer to ALaMO than MAD-FIRES.

Just by the size of the case, the "short" 57mm for the Epokha (57x185mm according to my estimations) might be comparable or slightly more powerful than the american 50mm (50x228mm). The "big" 57mm as used on the Kinzhal/Baikal (57x348SR) would just be overkill IMHO and i don´t see how an IFV that remains in the sub 40 ton category (or even sub 50 ton) might survive the "short" 57mm frontally. For IFV use, the "short" 57mm is just more convenient, takes up a lot less space, even using about half of the internal volume of the Epokha (the whole right side is used for the baby Kornets for which i don´t see any practical justification) it can fit more 57mm shells than the Kinzhal/Baikal turret (80 vs ~170).
What seems more problematic than which 57mm is better would be that these futuristic IFVs lack ATGMs with modern features (fire and forget, LOAL, top attack, etc.).
I wonder how well it would work with MAD-FIRES.

Why would you need an extra? They are members of the crew by default. Both vehicles have a crew of 5. For 2S19, you only need extra 2 men when supplying the gun with ammo/charges from outside.
The whole point of using an autoloader is so can reduce the number of crew. I guess that's not a factor if you're just using conscripts.

You can do that on Msta-S as well...
But you still need the extra crew member for manual operation. The notional K9A2 is supposed to have an autoloader.

Yeah, strange that they didn't got it to 100% and throw away 1 crew member. Would save some money and give more space for something else.
The 1% is always the hardest. Have to make sure the vehicle can still fight even if it takes damage and the Koreans have a lot of conscripts.

Interesting part at 1:30 showing loading system of Worst Korean K9 SPG
That's like 99% automated.

Next gen tank protection needs HEMP and some serious electrical systems. I'd imagine that the Israelis and Koreans have some thoughts right now.
