I mean, are people going to swallow their pride and admit we need help?

They're very old.

Because he's an obvious Oui-a-boo. Don't get me wrong I am aware I come off as a Free-a-boo but I'm not going to go as far as shilling for a currently problematic aircraft for the sake of it coming from one country (i.e. the KC-46). The most bewildering post he made was the one about the Aster...

N Not currently no, but it will more or less happen eventually.

No, I just think Cockerill is a meme.

More CONCEPT products, Cockerill does it in the hopes someone would buy an FSV variant of a popular IFV/APC. On the other hand, the Hitfact and Hitfist was mass produced for the Italian Army, hence it's cheaper through economy of scale.

I was talking to a Captain of the Army cavalry unit who's Leopards I was fixing and we got onto the topic of the Kaplan. We were just talking about stuff on how to make it better and I deadass just told him "Stop buying stuff from Cockerill as they up-charge their products since no one buys...

Tbh I feel that the Army would like it better if they had a competition similar to how Philippines had with their Medium Tank competition. That or if they up-gun it to say, the Oto Melara 120mm.

They're not. They would rather the money be used to upgrade the remaining Leopards to full capability than investing into a new platform. They don't want to be forced into adopting a platform they had no requirement with at the beginning like the Marders that came with the Leopard 2's.

I mean, I wish I can tell you that it wasn't the case, but in reality it really has more to do with politics than actual army requirements.

Among other things the PUSENKAV commander told me was how: 1.) The vehicle is rear heavy, so the vehicle moves with the elevated up by a few centimeters, limiting the driver's vision. 2.) It has too high of a profile. 3.) The turret is outclassed in firepower. 4.) The Army in unwilling to...

Like I said before, the Army (specifically PUSENKAV) simply does not want it.

No that's not quite it. A part of the concept but not the concept itself. Air cavalry is another word used for air assault. Essentially it is rapid mobility, firepower enhancement, and combat support of light infantry through the use of rotary wing assets (helicopters). A modern example would...

^can confirm that's what the head of PUSENKAV told me.

No, the South Korean participation fell through. The most recent news was that Otokar was considering making the domestic engine for it developed from a commercial bus engine. https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/otokar-mulls-making-of-domestic-electric-tank-18494 Any Turkish project that...

If only that were the case when it comes to Israeli stuff my dude.

WAAAAAAAYYYYYY cheaper.

The MILAS unfortunately is not a VLS capable missile. It's going to take up space that should otherwise be taken up by AShM's.

Alman: "WE SIGNED AN LOI WITH FRANCE! FRENCH PRIMES WILL NOW COOPERATE WITH MENHAN TO TAILOR THEIR PRODUCTS TO INDONESIAN REQUIREMENTS! MARCHONS, VIVA LA FRANCE!!" Also Alman: >mfw I'm not even sorry.

You should have an OPV with CAMM doing general AAW duties and Exocet OR the Naval Strike Missile for ASuW. And then you should have Frigates armed with the CAMM + ASTER for dedicated AAW duties and Exocet OR the Naval Strike Missile for ASuW. Maybe in a couple of years when MBDA finally...
