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Unless you're implying they'd test a next-gen armor kit against outdated penetrators and threats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
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
Active protection?
nah
I mean a HEL with a fast-track turret could blap shells out of the sky real fast
shrapnel and EFP-based interceptors are more reliable and multi-use
