    Greece is (supposedly) selling off some of their Leopard 2A4s and Cyprus is interested: https://defence-point.com/2019/03/05/cyprus-courts-greek-leopard-1a4s/

    So the MGCS is targeting a weight of around 40 tons? That seems to be the limit for rubber band track.

    BAE is out of NGCV: https://www.defensenews.com/land/2019/06/10/major-combat-vehicle-player-wont-participate-in-us-armys-optionally-manned-fighting-vehicle-competition/ Not very surprising, the CV-90 wasn't a strong bid compared to the other players.

    If only we had a best in class system that was already designed and mostly ready for production

    The picture is from a company called Modeled horizons. They do a lot of work for defense contractors, especially BAE Systems. On their site, they refer to it as "CAT" but I couldn't find any more info than that.

    Some sort of SHORAD(?) variant on the XM1200 FCS chassis. Any more info would be appreciated
  8. Clan_Ghost_Bear
    US is listed as a potential export partner. Looks like the AS-21 is competing for NGCV then?

    Australia has revived their Self-Propelled Artillery program: https://www.defenceconnect.com.au/land-amphibious/4041-following-the-leader-govt-announces-local-sph-build-labor-agrees?utm_source=DefenceConnect&utm_campaign=15_05_19&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1 Favorite seems to be the K-9, but maybe recent wins for Rheinmetall could give the PZH-2000 a chance?

    Thailand is buying Strykers: https://www.bangkokpost.com/news/security/1676940/army-seals-deal-to-buy-us-armour

    I think it's Textron doing the V-280, Boeing is offering the SB-1.
  12. Clan_Ghost_Bear
    What are we looking at here? Looks similar to that SAIC concept art.

    UK is considering a new SPG: https://www.janes.com/article/87623/uk-releases-rfi-for-new-self-propelled-howitzer' Boxer with Donar turret, maybe?
  14. Clan_Ghost_Bear
    Personally I don't think they'd be up for another rodeo. They lost big with MPF and ACV, and the Amtrac upgrade got canned before it begun. Maybe Textron? They've got the facilities to build armored vehicles, but it would be a stretch.
  15. Clan_Ghost_Bear
    Puma would be a good fit for OMFV but I'm not sure who they'd partner with to make it acceptable to the army.
  16. Clan_Ghost_Bear
    http://www.ecsbdefesa.com.br/defesa/fts/Projetos.pdf Interesting document about armored vehicles proposed for South America by Germany. Any Portuguese readers in?
  17. Clan_Ghost_Bear
    What is Israel developing? I was under the assumption that the Camel was going to be a lighter vehicle similar to the FCS, and the Merkava Mk.4 was going to stay in service for the foreseeable future.

    https://nepszava.hu/3027600_honvedsegi-celkeresztben-ketszaz-puma Hungary is (supposedly) considering a buy of several hundred Pumas.

    As a heads up the image you posted isn't displaying. Apparently defence-blog doesn't let people embed their images elsewhere.
  21. Clan_Ghost_Bear
    Is there any good info on the Turkish Leclerc project? I've only been able to find an image of it.
  22. Clan_Ghost_Bear
    That's an interesting design choice for the 50 cal placement.
  23. Clan_Ghost_Bear
    Brits make fun of us while they can't even keep their motorists safe from Octopi: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-devon-47144891
  24. Clan_Ghost_Bear
    So is it the V3 or V4 that's getting the new armor package?
  25. Clan_Ghost_Bear
    Considering that they didn't even test the Ariete I think he's right.
