For a 35-45 ton tank? Oh my, how terrible.
it just had to go under ~50 tonnes because bridges can't handle more
it wasn't even meant to replace the 90
but the 74s
which are 60s tech
Oh, and what about AMAP 4th gen panels being multi-hit rated against KE and CE penetrators.
Also nanoalloy based
AMAP is ceramic-based, yes
Not just carbon cermaics, but THS and the like as well
but there's no evidence AMAP alone can handle 800mm+ KE warheads
Well that's what it was tested and rated multi-hit for, so whatever dude.
Unless you're implying they'd test a next-gen armor kit against outdated penetrators and threats
AMAPs only use on tanks are on the Leopard 2 Evolution
which conveniently places it on top of NERA-based Leopard 2 armor
same on the PUMA IFV
Oh fuck I forgot the Puma was a thing
Puma is kraut space magic
Its gun sounds like a blaster
*Still no ATGMs because budget cuts*
Bruh what even is that fucking turbolaser gun
>sounds a blaster
Literally has a laser weapon
LASER WEAPON
It'll be some boring electric system, but it sounds deadly
I have no fucking clue what that means
Imagine hiding in a foxhole and hearing that above your head
Electric recoil dampening or something
the only thing that comes to mind is a laser rangefinder, but that's pretty common
Errrr, it might be a HEL
At a guess, that's a motor
Or a FEL
The blaster sound
could be, but is the energy consumption low enough for an IFV?
There's a few small laser weapons that can fit in a 10ft trailer
Rated to blap mortars and ATGMs at like 3km within a second
last I checked laser weapons were too power hungry for non-static applications outside of ships and large planes
That was damn near 10 years ago
Also, single-use chemical laser cells
Huge bursts of power and then you chuck it
still, why mount it on an IFV of all things
