    No, KNDS does not say that: https://www.knds.de/en/systems-products/tracked-vehicles/main-battle-tank/leopard-2-a7/
     
    Whoever faked that is retarded.

    thanks to @Korvette who spotted, CR2 maybe have some sort of hull side addon bolted plates, at least some late vehicle

    It's from DEFE 25/576 in 1981, before CR1 entered service

    Do we have a thread for the KF51 or are we just lumping it into the Leopard thread?
     
    Rheinmetal to develop KF51 EVO in Hungary

    Went through my books - CR1 400 is the proposal that would ultimately become CR2. This provides a bit more context understanding the document.
     
    This is the tweet I found them in but I'm not convinced it's the original source:

    SR(L) 4026 Documents floating around on twitter (would love the rest). 4026 is the Chieftain replacement program that would be fulfilled by CR2. Highlights are only 350KE/650CE for the front hull, a desire for 300KE on the turret roof (??), and the various proposed levels of CR1 upgrade (assuming this is prior to the culling of the CR1 fleet).
     
    CR1 400 seems like they replace the turret with a CR2 turret
    CR1 300, 200, 100 seems like varying levels of upgraded CR1 turret and CR1 MIN seems like basic upgrades to the existing turret only (CR2 gun control equipment seemingly optional and no other specific upgrades listed)
     
    Penetration figures are seemingly at 60 degrees, point blank.

    I agree with his point that Abrams X didn't cause this decision. However I suspect GDLS knew this decision was in the making and that's why they made the Abrams X. It seems far too convenient that it checks a lot of the boxes the army was looking for.
     
    I don't think the M1A3 will be Abrams X but I think many of the features will jump over and I wouldn't be surprised if the base turret is used in some form. How does this work though - will other firms bid on this or does it just go to GDLS as the abrams design owner?

    M1A2 SEPv4 canned in favour of M1A3 (type-classified M1E3). Sounds a like AbramsX in some areas.

    Royal Ordnance Factories's Chieftain 1000
     
    It's somewhat reminiscent of the Chieftain 900. The displayed weight (52 t) seems a bit light for an upgraded Chieftain.
