Wish I had checked into the
EDR site sooner to add it to my last post. But I'm here now, because of the
KF-51 which in its first full "
coming out party" within 2 hours at Eurosatory 2022 was renamed the
PANTHER which would seem an appropriate choice.
So, for a deeper read on the
PANTHER I give you the following.

I found it interesting that
Rheinmetall used the following as taken from this article; "As said the hull protection was upgraded using the same concept adopted on the turret, the design having however to cope with some physical constraints, the Panther turret having the same slip-ring diameter of the Leopard 2. “
In 2021 we did extensive trials with the 130 mm fitted to a Challenger chassis, and although the recoil is slightly higher no problems emerged for the hull,” Christoph Henselmann told us."
I decided to post the following for
one simple reason in the captions they use words like "
supposedly"/"
might be"/"
likely"/"
possibly"/"
could be" and so forth. If you're
uncomfortable seeing dead bodies just "
move along little doggy" to something else.

You'll see the man in charge of the site in some of the pictures he's the one you see when you are on the main page. He has sources in Russia
maybe, that's how he got the "
Russian" pictures.
