gonna equip the panzer with what? 105mm smoothbore cannon and IR/Thermal scope? 

but then again, Israel quite successful with their upgraded Shermans during Arab-Israel War..

Why unstable? There is after all Stryker MGS... can be used as assault gun than pure IFV killer. Or urban ambush against tank side armour, 105mm would have much higher chance of scoring a kill.

edit: Oh its still unknown what armament will be mounted...

you mean even though the turret can turn 360, firing at the wrong angle can tip it?

I guess it is better than a obese 300 pounder that can barely carry his own weight...

Well, these sentries arent the fittest... but no doubt they are operational ready soldiers, trusted and tested to be able to do their job...

That ship in your original quote is more or less a frigate... just need bolt on CIWS and SSMs. I wouldn't be surprised if they are "fitted for, but not with"... aka what the Littoral Combat Ship was supposed to be like

why need a trailer... cant the vehicle move by itself? unless of course not fully assembled..  i believe fuel consumption for that trailer would be higher...

kinda normal , better flatbed then put unnecessary stress.

nice... can't see the mast mount tho.

Is that protrusion on the rear ground based radar? What I wanted to see was the approx height retracted of the mast mount and whether its telescopic or folding.

CV90 with Vingtaqs II, most of the system seen is featured on a telescopic mast

in the era of "multi-roling everything" nowadays vehicles like these is getting less favour, and recon task nowadays is most likely done by covert ops special forces teams

Nowadays all it takes is a 2 man scout team with a radio to report movement, call down fires etc. Was reading a book about Afghanistan, it seems the US SOF even can tap and trace Taliban radio and send text/data with a small laptop sized unit, all encrypted and via satellite.

did i just heard KM SIAKAP?

our version of McBoaty? haha

USS Seawolf (SSN-21), the lead ship of her class, is the fourth submarine of the United States Navy named for the seawolf, a solitary fish with strong, prominent teeth and projecting tusks that give it a savage look.

haha, no disrespect la, but i really find that naming it as KM Siakap kinda funny.

not because it's some ugly looking stupid fish or what, just that it's something that i will more often than not have it for dinner, but now tertiba become the name of the ship haha

i didnt say seawolf sound nicer pun, tak kesah pun if seawolf ke, subwolfer ke, itu dia orang punya pasal la.

but im just assuming somewhere around us, there's a KM Todak! gansa sial
