It would be good to know what was their opinion about these two vehicles. Some sources say koreans were satisfied, others say they didnt like them... 

 

From what I’ve heard they really liked them in regards to size, performance and mobility, and firepower. If I can find the sources I’ll link them on here.

Rafael has redesigned their website, and have added some new brochures in the process. One of them is the Samson 30, integrating a whole bunch of elements developed internally in Rafael:

https://www.rafael.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Samson-30-integrated-RWS.pdf

 

The only weird part is that although they're offering the turret with armor up to level 6, they're now not giving the full specs like they used to, and instead posted just the minimal protection level plus weight of the turret.

 

The next one is the Suite for Future Armored Vehicles:

https://www.rafael.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Future-Armored-Vehcile.pdf (apparently no spelling checks?)

 

They're basically describing again this system:

They're also showing the roles of each operator in the OMFV. Also notice that they're specifically referring to the OMFV, perhaps pitching this technology for the US Army.

 

And the last one for AFVs is the Fire Weaver:

It's now pitched to the IDF and other armies as the next gen of BMS. Worthy of note is their claim that the Fire-Weaver provides accurate Geolocation of targets independently of GPS.

The new armored vehicle of chains for the sappers of the Army has a maximum weight in combat order of 33 tons, capacity to transport up to nine crew, including the driver, and the main novelty compared to previous versions of the Pizarro is the highest level of ballistic protection and anti-mine.

While presenting the Vczap in Spain, GDELS-Santa Bárbara Sistemas will show two other variants of the Ascod family, one equipped with an unmanned 30 mm torreo and another with an integrated launching system, at the IDET fair that will take place in the city of Brno in the Czech Republic.

Pizarro Phase III

As detailed by the Army, this future Pizarro should be equipped with means of situational awareness, as augmented reality, and incorporate improvements in the armament, with a tendency to increase the caliber to 40 mm, and in protection, with floating floor barges and systems of active protection, taking advantage of the current developments of the Ascod platform of Santa Bárbara Sistemas.

they should at least use them for sth similar to Sprut like putting Cockerill turrets 105/120 mm and bam you have a very potent light/medium tank
