No you took two unrelated sentence from a interview and put them together
The Challenger 2 ATD was shown off with 130mm as an option and then after the UK mod gave clearance that very same tank was fitted with the 130mm and shown off
It is quite obvious they had intrest since they were the ones who paid of the ATD and paid for the British crew to drive it and paid to maintain it and still have the tank to this day.
It is not argument to say the gun is for the MGSC programme and only for that and for Germany when a few months before the Challenger 130mm they were showing it for the Challenger 3
That is where the gun was only for a German project falls apart because it clearly wasn’t
oh for christ’s sake can we shelve the challenger 130 arguments already? its already taken over the CR3 technical discussion thread, we don’t need it here as well.
Well yeah. The chally 130 still is a different project alltogether.
I am gonna remind you.
It is a rheinmetall germany project not a RBSL project for a reason. How do you justify this?
The challenger 130 is a tech demonstrator fpr the 130mm, a proof of concept that is advertised towards germany. That is the official statement.
Thats why its released as rheinmetall and not rbsl as well
That you cant realise its not a RBSL project is sad.
Please stop coming into threads with comments relating to the Challenger 2 130 and arguing with people, you’ve already polluted the Challenger 3 thread you don’t need to come and do it to this one
If you want to debate it, make a specific post about it or DM people
Clearly you both disagree on how much weight each claim should have and throwing the same justification at each other is achieving nothing. Agree to disagree and move on.
Still only answered the guy that asked why a german one got passed.
If people wouldnt react negatively to it and wouldnt make a big deal out of it, we wouldnt need to tell them the sources.
Yea, no other Apache is capable of carrying that irl except for bock 6.5, which is only used by the US. Every other Apache is either a 4.0 or 4.5 depending on the nation. Which means all of these other 64Es are entirely in capable of carrying JAGMS and DCIRM.
