@BuschModelar Another one we had in a post from 2018 IIRC

@KrypTanko And here goes the hot turret just off the sand mould. Still a lot of finishing and machining needed.

[ToyotaWars @ToyotaWars]

@KrypTanko Pity as it was a truly promising tank (if they had kept it as originally planned, a light tank, that is).

[ToyotaWars @ToyotaWars]

@KrypTanko @trubia_t > but surely was one/ones with previous links to the Belgian Leo1 procurement program.

[ToyotaWars @ToyotaWars]

@KrypTanko @trubia_t Good. Leone was a similar attempt at building the Leo for export to suspicious countries, specially the ones Italy had good ties with. Still have to locate the source on the Belgian link, can't remember if it was Sabca the parenting company in the country >

[ToyotaWars @ToyotaWars]

@KrypTanko @trubia_t Curiously is not just the front of the hull. Sides are different too, and more puzzling, the wheel spacing, which means a longer hull than standard Leo1 and could point to "some" Guepard lineage but who knows... Should dig more on the possible Belgian link.

[ToyotaWars @ToyotaWars]

@KrypTanko @trubia_t Still wondering why that hull is so different from standard Leo and family. One theory is it was based in the planned "export" Leo 1 to be assembled in Belgium for possible contracts with countries forbidden by german laws.

@todoesmentiratv Se olvida muy interesadamente @Ruiz_Noticias de mencionar gigantes europeos como Airbus, Rheinmetall, Thales, Nexter, KWW… donde Europa es dueña y principal cliente. O Navantia, Indra, Escribano, aquí en casa y muy amigos de Moncloa. En fin, información sesgada.

Good thread!

[Bruton Boar @BoarBruton]

Long thread so apologies - in all of the noise and armchair experts passing judgment on the Afghan situation I keep coming across references to this #KabulCar however slightly odd looking 4x4s in the worlds trouble spots are actually something I know rather a lot about. cont.

So nice to see the MSV (@urovesa VAMTAC ST5 4x4 + @EXPALSystems EIMOS 81mm mobile mortar system) entering service with Marines from @Armada_esp

Working with Saab is always good and this is when Jackal met a Giraffe! What a mixture of superb capabilities!

[ToyotaWars @ToyotaWars]

@JonHawkes275 The 6x6 chassis comes from Renault who owns Mack, so no trouble here...
