    Somewhat similar to the Leopard 1 C2 I guess :

    An onboard video compilation from Ukrainean Su-25 pilots from combat. Launching various rockets including probably S-24 heavy ones, dropping bombs, dodging the AD. Probably the most interesting thing is that the RWR indicator is often visible and it's most of the time flashing like crazy. 
     
    And from the other side what flying low also means.

    EDIT - added three more.
     
    At least two hatches for the driver compartment confirmed (with one open, the other closed), and possibly a third one right under the mantlet and XM360.
    More detail on the turret front - the cheek plates are no longer welded together?
    Coaxial 7.62mm retained.
    Mantlet is smaller than I first thought - it's the front lip of the M230LF pedestal that's making it look taller/bigger.
    At least one hatch on the turret's right side behind the PASEO and beside the M230LF pedestal. No periscopes on it.

    I think this beats out that Ukrainian T-55 / T-64 hybrid for ugliest tank.

    Morana SPGH from Excalibur Army has its web out now.

    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.

    @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.

    K2NO model at Eurosatory. RWS is now in front of the commander instead of behind him, and we also get a better look at the new armour package. The mid section of the hull front is much slimmer on this model too, so maybe some armor/weight was shaved off here in order to add it elsewhere?

    That would be Object 787, which was developed the same time as the other pre-BMPT prototypes Objects 781 and 782 (the former being behind the 787 here.) It would basically be as you described.

    The Elbit Sigma (which is supposed to replaced the venerable M109 in IDF service) is taking shape. Production models are still months/year beyond
