    Beer got a reaction from Lord_James in General artillery, SPGs, MLRS and long range ATGMs thread.   
    Morana SPGH from Excalibur Army has its web out now. 
    https://morana.excaliburarmy.cz/
     



     
    Some info:
    - gun module can be placed on various platforms 
    - 155 mm L52 gun (AFAIK same with Zuzana 2)
    - range 41,5 km
    - gun traverse +/-60°
    - fully automated (all crew sits in the front cabin during the mission) with APU for the gun module 
    - crew of 3 (driver, commander and gunner), the cabin has 4th seat for potential additional crew member/specialist
    - 6 RPM, MRSI possible 
    - manual aiming possible if needed/in emergency
    - direct fire possible with claimed effective range 5 km in daylight and 3 km at night
    - time to first shot from stopping 40 seconds
    - 45 rounds carried
    - integrated retractable RCWS with 12,7 mm HMG for self defence (should be part of the turret)
    - the Tatra vehicle is 8x8 with all four axles steerable (!), 600 Hp, automatic gearbox, 90 km/h, tyre pressure regulation
    - STANAG level 2 protection
     
    The vehicle is a demonstrator at this moment and will probably change in some ways before entering production.

    Ground based 40mm RapidFire mounted on the same chassis than the Caesar NG 6x6 :

    ARX 30 (same that could be seen on the roof of the EMBT) coupled with an anti-UAV jamming rifle :

     
     
    In the same vein the now (almost) standard Hornet RCWS turret found on the Griffon mounting a 40 mm GL with an airburst charge :
     

    The turret replace the smoke launchers with a radar. With an effective range of only 400m the utility of such a system even against microdrones is, in my opinion, dubious though experimentations have already been conducted (video below).
     
    Finally a Serval VBMR-L with 2 mistrals mounted on the roof :
     

    If it could replace the last VLRA Mistral (where the operator is badly exposed) it would be great.

    Pretty much what we saw on the mockup and nothing groundbreaking on the outside. The main upgrades are an RCWS on standard (finally), a bit of up-armouring and most importantly the Scorpion BMS on the inside.

    @Alzoci have something for you, https://twitter.com/PGZ_pl/status/1536324327259398152?s=20&t=7Gm_HRpXIy1Oyge3-p4I_g 
    Yep, K2PL is coming in hot more tanks for Poland I guess. Let's have a moment of silence in memory of Polish logistical and maintenance units, I peaty those brave men and women. Now, in theory, Poland will be using 247x Leopard 2PL and 2A5, +300x M1A1SA/FEP, 250x M1A2 SEP v.3, 232x PT-91 and probably some leftover T-72M1R with around 500x K2/K2PL to come. Our T-72M1R are being currently sent to Ukraine, but will we send all of them is hard to tell, though it is probable. The future of PT-91 is also uncertain.

    As if that wasn't enough for today, guess what, we want to form two more divisions. We are currently in the process of creating our fourth division, and MOD wants to have two more. Are you not entertained?!
    https://twitter.com/MON_GOV_PL/status/1536337136001196032?s=20&t=7Gm_HRpXIy1Oyge3-p4I_g
    Two additional divisions for the land forces, in simplified terms, more than 40,000x soldiers, 460x tanks, 900x IFV/APC, 380 artillery pieces, 8x Narew batteries, 2x Wisła batteries, several thousand other vehicles...

    Caesar NG render:

     
    A basic 6x6 Caesar with improved cabin protection and improved motorisation in order to compensate for the increased weight.
    Unlike the Caesar 8x8 it doesn't feature the improved loading mechanism, nor does it carry the amount of ammo the 8x8 can.
    All Caesar 6x6 in the French army will likely be retrofitted to the NG standard in the future.

    30s to enter or leave battery 4 to 6 shells fired within 2 minutes with a range of 13 km Automatic gun laying and calculations Firing sequence under armor except for loading (only one person outside?) 40 120 mm shells onboard (more in the 81 mm version) Goal is obviously to minimize exposure time and risks of counter battery.
    Will probably be marketed to Romania.

    Almost the same than the LU 211 :
    Improved range by working on the aerodynamics (44 km compared to 40 km previously) More explosive mass (11 kg compared to 8,8 kg previously) Improved lethality (double effective area claimed) Nexter Arrowtech is now working on the LU 320 with a goal of a 1000 m/s muzzle velocity for a range of 50 km and course correction

    Just a few words to this photo from your link because both things are new.

     
    The first is the heavy Tatra ARV Treva 30 which is equipped with 30 ton crane and 25 ton winch. The second vehicle shows most likely the configuration for Belgian army, i.e. with a new armoured cabin. 
     
    CSG should show also a new development step of their SPGH now with 52 caliber gun.

    I have read some discussions about the Husar vehicle and from what I could get out of it the HSW Husar is a licensed Patriot II including the cabin. 
     
    What was interesting was a note that armoured cabins of Patriot II are currently being produced in Croatian Duro Daković (it also belongs to CSG) for undisclosed user, however I'm quite sure it's not related to the HSW production for Polish army. 
     
    It was also stated that Patriot II base cab offers STANAG 3 level of resistance but can offer STANAG 4 with additional ceramic panels.
