    Note, due to SPECTUS KMW relocated the snow track grippers to the turret side add-on armour.
  2. Gun Ready
    ... and SPECTUS mounted at the upper glacis front. In this version, there should also be a new front armour package installed.

    Is that photo out of a "Bundeswehr" video?! Or where is the marker in the right lower corner coming from?

    Estimated better protection, multi fuel engine, high system reliability, best reputation within Leopard 2 user club including future enhancement strategies, common spare part supply via LEOBEN

    My hope is that the Norwegian decision is reflecting both, technical performance of the MBT and commercial benefit of the business. I still believe that Leopard 2 is the better choice.
  17. Gun Ready
    If the deal is really made, it will be i interesting how the Polish army will manage the fleet mix with Leopards, M1 and K2?!

    The mille out is done to save weight and achieve better CoG distribution when laying the bridge. The residual thickness is good enough for medium canon protection. IMO a clever approach!
  23. Gun Ready
    Okay, now we have heard the FCAS stories! But what are the real news to MGCS?
  24. Gun Ready
    Hello all, Macron has won the elections! Guess that MGCS in continuing, or? Any news to report?
  25. Gun Ready
    Another interesting article written by Hilmes about Marder 1 history from 1969 till today https://rheinmetall-defence.com/en/rheinmetall_defence/systems_and_products/vehicle_systems/armoured_tracked_vehicles/marder50/index.php The service life extension is interesting in regard to MELLS ATGM-system replacing MILAN and TOW. The EuroSpike missile with tandem SC warhead gives comparable performance like Javelin but can be fired under armour. This shows advantage in fire position mobility.
  26. Gun Ready
    Melnyk requested from Scholz one Marder per day delivered by Rheinmetall to Ukrainian Army instead to Bundeswehr. This Bundeswehr cannot accept because the 78ea Marders 1A5 are urgently needed in the Nutzungsdauerverlaengerung version, see https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwidvJ23r4n3AhWrRPEDHXpGCHIQFnoECAkQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fesut.de%2F2020%2F01%2Fmeldungen%2Fruestung2%2F17991%2Fnutzungsdauerverlaengerung-schuetzenpanzer-marder-1-a5%2F&usg=AOvVaw3CzBrXliGItDpf0s7tLQpS as the PUMAs lack still reliability and spare parts supply.

    Is the Stryker 105 ammo compatible to gun L7A3 pressure wise?
  28. Gun Ready
    The question is the availability of the 105 mm x 617 ammunition. Closest ammo stocks to Ukraine are in Greece and Turkey as they have this tank still in service.
  29. Gun Ready
    250 Marder 1 A3 are available at Rheimetall. Hope, they are mostly functional. Would be pretty good stuff requested by Ukrainian Army. Reliable, simple to operate and even after 50 years in use a good AFV.
