It is huge... I was almost sure that they would take something of MTIP-2 size or even MTIP-2 itself. But this is bigger, I don't know if this is WHOLE system or just a basic chassis for it. It's even bigger then CTA International...
I'm guessing that, like a lot of recent US armor prototypes, the turret has a lot of empty spaces between the outer and inner hulls to defeat RPGs. The actual manned portion of the turret is likely much smaller than it would seem on the outside.
Look a little like CT-40, but that's can be any Bushmaster system. I don't see any bulge, it's is whole as turret superstructure without additional elements. But maybe launcher is hide in it, pic don't show too much.
"Russian troops are likely to continue aggression against Ukraine and attack Odessa.
The chairman of the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs, Elmar Brok, said it in an interview with Evropeiska Pravda.
It seems that Russia will continue its aggression, which will include an attack on Odessa and the seizure of the Black Sea coast and the region of the Danube Delta, he notes.
According to the MEP, he becomes more pessimistic about possible developments. He thinks all possible efforts should be applied to explain to Putin that such actions will cost him a lot.
But we have a question if he cares about the price, Brok notes.
The president of Russia said earlier he could bring troops in Warsaw, Vilnius and a number of the EU and NATO capitals, according to a note by the the EU foreign service."
Its the same Kongsberg 30mm remote turret that has been proposed for the Stryker upgrade. the US Army is probably evaluating if it would be worth it to replace the Bradley turret as well for unified logistical support.
Christ, it's even taller than before. It's barn-sized.

DeleteThats a big turret. Is it being used to fit a 40mm cannon on it ? And is the bulge on the left side housing for the AT missile ?

ReplyDeleteyou need a turret that big for an unmanned system ?
Deleteyou do when all the ammunition is stored in the turret rather then the basket like on the current turret.
