    The second Indian carrier (INS Vikrant) has started it's sea trials :
     

     
    Of STOBAR configuration and design based on the experienced acquired by the Indian navy on the ex Admiral Gorchkov (Kiev class).
    Displacement of about 40 000 t with a top speed of 28 knots (18 cruise) propelled by 4 General Electric LM2500+ gas turbines.
    Capable of holding about 30 aircraft (among those 26 MiG-29K), it may also carry Ka-31 helicopter MH-60R.
    In the future it may also carry navalized Tejas as well as either Rafale-M or F/A-18 Super Hornet (depending on how their Multi Role Carrier Borne Fighters program goes).

    Had the fantastic opportunity to PMCS, boresight, and road test a M1A2 SEPv3 from 4-9 CAV at Ft. Hood today.

    Many images:
     
    I can confirm the photo I posted previously that the turret weight of the SEPv3 31.5 tons (28.6 metric tons). I have a photo of the name plate but I haven't removed the serial numbers to upload it. 
     
    I also made an extremely rough estimation of the turret armor LOS using my boot and then measuring my boot after (I didn't have a measuring tape on the tank nor did I want to piss off the crew). Using this very rough method I found the armor to be at least 1150mm LOS including the backplate. 
     
    I may be able to get back on a SEPv3 next Monday.

    This news is a bit old but posting now I have time:

    UK outlines future anti-armour requirements
     

    Mounted Close Combat Overwatch (MCCO) - Long Range ATGM

    Proposals by Thales, MBDA and Lockheed Martin using Brimstone missiles:

    Thales:



    "Dstl also showed a concept developed by Thales showing an Ares vehicle equipped with a remote turret that does not protrude into the vehicle’s hull and carried eight missiles."
     

    MBDA:
     


     
    "During a presentation on the capability, Dstl showcased concepts from MBDA detailing an Ares vehicle carrying eight Brimstone missiles on a swing launcher as well as a Boxer module carrying 16 Brimstone missiles on one side of the vehicle as well as its previously shown concept of a TheMIS UGV carrying a Brimstone launcher."

     
    Lockheed Martin:
     



     
    "As well as devising the Boxer module, Lockheed Martin has also developed a concept for an ISO container filled with VLS tubes and carried on a MAN SV truck. This MAN SV-based system would be able to carry 50 plus missiles." - Boxer module can carry 16 missiles


    CCAAW – mounted and dismounted effects
     
    Javelin ATGM replacement. Supposedly Spike 2 has been earmarked for this. The Army was waiting to see what the US did with Javelin.

    Pretty much what I thought would happen. The Army dumping CT40. Not even keeping them as spares for Ajax is a telling sign.
    I can see Rheinmetall pushing a British-ised Lance turret.
