The 🇺🇦#Ukrainian armed forces in the #Kursk Oblast have lost an interesting vehicle - it is an 🇺🇸#US-supplied M113A3 with a new Ukrainian-made manned turret with 12.7mm M2 Browning.
Many M113s delivered to Ukraine have either no protection for the gunner at all, or the gunner is too exposed to enemy fire in the original turret. This new turret protects the gunner from all directions, including from above.

Lithuania purchases a battalion of Leopard 2A8 tanks and 2 battalions of CV90MkIV IFV vehicles.
The decisions were made today by the Lithuanian State Defense Council VGT /Valstybės Gynimo Taryboje/.

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Chinese have unveiled a NEW airborne IFV; seen at a "look at me I'm so important" meet with Hu Jintao as he inspects PLA Airborne Forces:

What's notable about it is that while we don't have full oblique views yet, we can see it has an active protection system from the sensors+projectile launchers on it.

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Someone here will know this
Which version of the Rosomak KTO is Ukraine getting??.... Is it the manned or unmanned turret version?
The info I found was conflicting. I suspect it's the manned turret or is it just the APC with no turret?

Re: APC Development and related topics.
From the licensed Polish manufacturer it's the HITFIST 30P turret crewed by two.
The first ref. supports this from 3 months ago also it's indicating the remote ZSSW-30 had just finished the first of its live firing tests at the time of the article. See the bottom 2 paras.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...ne/ar-AA1odbY5
Now to BUMAR-ŁABĘDY S.A. site...
https://bumar.gliwice.pl/en/strefa-m...do-kto-rosomak
(Note the PDF files at bottom.)
What is troubling was that there was no mention of the ZSSW-30 (Which will also have 2 SPIKE Medium distance launchers.) on the website as you'll see from where I pulled the above two refs from. Might still be in Manufactures or joint testing phase.
Off topic but confirms what some of us suspected and this has expanded since this news announcement was released to apparently include up to the T-84 OPLOT-M more recently.
https://bumar.gliwice.pl/en/news/pgz...etu-pancernego
Will address the M-84 issue later in the MBT Thread.
I need to hit the rack!
Regards,
Pat
EDIT: Almost forgot again saw the following while looking into something else, I can for sure say it's not the T-15.
I haven't had the time to take a hard look, but I believe it is a derivative of the T-80 tank. And it is new.
