IIn what's a rather interesting reveal Rosoboronexport has shown new footage of Arena-M APS testing showin a top-attack ATGM interception, finally confirming years of Russian claims that it can do that.
ATGM looks to be a captured Javelin missile.
@Trotes936897 Me, Roberto Caiafa, from @infodefensa and my friend Paulo Bastos, from @tecnodefesa , inside a Tulpar IFV Musrak 30mm, TODAY, in a factory of @OtokarAS in Sakarya. Waiting for a special article about this trip in the next days!!!!!! video @beto_caiafa
@alexkamp1 Με παράλληλο κινητήρα/κιβώτιο μειώνεις αισθητά το μήκος του powerpack, άρα και το μήκος του άρματος πίσω από τον πύργο. Ταλαιπωρεί λίγο παραπάνω τους τεχνικούς/πληρώματα λόγω compactness αλλά μειώνει σημαντικά το βάρος του οχήματος λόγω μικρότερου όγκου που πρέπει να θωρακιστεί.
Can towed gun survive in modern war?
This one has a huge impact 🔥
With a dug-in position, drone nets, and camouflage, this 105mm MOD 56 can fire 150+ rounds without moving.
No shooting or scooting in sight.
Jordanian Al Dawsar APC, based on Centurion (Tariq) tank hull and with the rather unusual front dismount doors, could be a handy capability in urban environments, albeit at a cost if you kept the armour that thin

1 | The 🇨🇴 Colombian Medium Mechanized Platoon (4x4). They use a mix of:
- Former U.S. Army M1117 ASVs delivered starting in December 2021 under the Excess Defense Articles, and
- Commando Advanced APCs (essentially lengthened ASVs) procured in 2010/13 directly from Textron
@ChungTzuW I am pretty sure that one 4cyl diesel engine from an old MTZ-80 tractor is not powerful enough to reliably move an 8×8 vehicle even for 500 meters distance, let alone a fully loaded MLRS in cross-country conditions
Germany, Denmark and Hungary sign Letter of Intent at Eurosatory to procure Skyranger SPAAG. Germany already has 19 vehicles on order, but has a requirement for a larger number to equip ground forces with a new mobile air defence capability.
🇫🇷#Eurosatory: Czech @CSG_HOLDING presents its Tatra Phoenix 10x10 with KNDS’ LEGUAN bridging system at Eurosatory 2024 in Paris. The vehicle has an armoured cab from Tatra Defence Vehicle with ballistic and mine protection Level 3 according to STANAG 4569. All axles are steerable. The overall length of the vehicle is 17 metres.
Leopard 2-based Wisent 2 with Pearson Route Opening Mine Plough (ROMP) and perhaps more excitingly, an integrated mine clearance line charge system on the back, for even more breaching goodness!

Starting off #Eurosatory2024 with a banger, Leonardo and Rhienmentall are already collaborating and are showcasing the Lynx equipped with the well known Leonardo Hitfact MK2 turret. I’m sure that this is only the start of what’s to come between these 2 companies.
Σκάφη αερομεταφερόμενων BMD-4M δίπλα στο σκάφος του BMP Kurganets στη γραμμή παραγωγής του Kurgan. Δεν υπάρχει ούτε το capacity ούτε πιστεύω η διάθεση να μπει το Kurganets σε μαζική παραγωγή, παρ' όλα αυτά η κατασκευή νέων σκαφών δείχνει μια στροφή προς τη δοκιμή νέων τεχνολογιών
Jakiś rok temu jeden z drugim w Chile wpadli na genialny pomysł co by swoje Leopardy 2A4 zmodernizować. I tak biesiadowali i debatowali (przy dobrym alkoholu), co by wymienić, co naprawić, a co jeszcze zostawić, by jakieś zasady Fair Play dla Peru czy innej Argentyny zostawić 1/X
