Artillery rch155 german.
Challenger 3 german upgraded.
Well spear 3, meteor mlu. Your new generation plane out the top of my head are all british and looking good in development
What do you mean ? It’s a joint devellopment, both sides are suffering if that is the case…
And honestly i don’t find any french source claiming any problems alongside France wanting to put CTA40 on more vehicles.
French screwing over projects they participated in is still a thing.
Dunno, but at least DTR is on the more legit side aint it?
Personaly i have more symphathy with the british them the french.
Thats why i shared it here
Ok xd, that is quite silly.
The Challenger 3 isnt really German upgraded, the majority of upgrades are being done in the UK by British companies
RBSL is just BAE Systems Land renamed after Rheinmetall bought a portion of it, which itself was previously Vickers-Alvis (The same company that made the Chally 2)
The Germans contributed (with the gun) but the idea that its a German upgrade is mostly a myth
Suspension upgrades - Horstmann (British)
Powerpack upgrades - Babcock (British)
New armour packages - DSTL (British)
New sights - Thales UK (British)
New LWS - Elbit Systems UK (British/Israeli)
Gun - Rheinmetall (Germany)
Integration - RBSL (British, part owned by Rheinmetall)
So the only part which is actually entirely German is the gun, the rest of the upgrades are mostly domestic and co-ordinated by RBSL which is a British based company.

Ah this again
So let’s see, a bunch of tweets which may or may not be true : the guys in your tweet don’t even seem to agree with one an other, is it 500-700, or 2000 ? Doesn’t bold too well already X)
Other than that no mentions of excessive barrel wear, be it in France (Jaguar + mass adoption as CWIS on ships) or in the UK (afaik the last issue concerned the gun integration on a turret with lockheed)
Germany screwing its partners on projects of course never happens, except when it blocks EF exports for the brits, or when Rheinmetall threatens a hostile takeover bid if KNDS goes on the stock exchange…
Oh no wait, when it goes this way you call it cooperation ?
You shared it here because these tweets with no source to back them in an appropriate french thread would have been received as they should have : disregard at best, proper and meticulous debunk at worst.
Same as the SAMP/T not working in ukraine (a bug that lasted 2 weeks because the battery was made with french and italian components) that you somehow turned into the system being inoperable for years, your regular sorties on Ascalon 140, and your refusal to see the SHARD shell on Leclerc while you want DM73 and 83 on leos all day long, based on the fact that the shell is “for export only” which is false, you have been proven wrong non earlier than this morning
Surely i’m not the only one who sees a pattern, but i digress
Back on topic it’s a shame the brits did not receive the CTA with the Ajax at the same time as Jaguar, an other missed opportunity by Gaijin

the thing that gets me is RARDEN was only rated for 3,750 shots [1] so practically speaking it’s about the same, i.e. you swap it during regular maintenance cycles if required, rather than during total overhaul.
They’ve repeatedly posted what I can only describe as ragebait. And just runs away… “Fun”. I spent ages typing out a researched and sourced response in the CR3 thread and they never responded:/

Hmm, would have been nice to have something to pair with the incoming Hawk 200s. Though Id prefer our CT40 patria, just for the Jav,
Oh, considering we’re adopting patria 6x6 to supplement our boxers I wonder if they’ll stick a CT40 turret on them for that request

Does anyone know whether AH MK.2（uk ah64e）is able to use LLM missile?
Have anyone tested the AJ.168s in this dev? If its approach logic have been changed to something more like the kh59s
Which can’t fire the DU round I remember? They’re designing a new round for the CR3 gun because they don’t like the NATO tungsten ones, but I don’t know if the new rounds will be DU or not.
That’s UK-Japan-Italy
afaik the UK signed an agreement to jointly develop a round that Germany had already started work on? 2020Neo / EKE /DM83 im pretty sure. we just slapped “CR3” on the end of the gun’s name, I’m not sure if there are actually any differences
