Tamir over at Defense Update has about the best coverage of Eurosatory 2012.
To be honest, I've been a bit UNDERWHELMED by the offerings this year. Go to Tamir's site to read more on these unusual Marder concepts.
Other vehicles at the show this year are below......
|
General Dynamics Europe has "civilianized" the EAGLE...You can bet they want to do the same in the US...especially if they win the JLTV contract. |
|
Iveco wants to build on the VBTR's win in Brazil...Argentina just procured some a few months ago and it will probably be offered as competition against the Piranha III...especially since the bigger and heavier Piranha V has yet to gain traction |
More to come hopefully but as I said. The vehicle makers are cautious as hell. I forgot where I read it but they even place rocks and such underneath their vehicles not to make them appear to be in a desert or forest environment but to keep "spies" from crawling underneath photographing the underbodies gaining a competitive edge.
Big boy procurement indeed.
