So it is as i said
Makes sense to me, it seems these indeed are probably upgraded fans
Is this not just an old powerpack? The old turret is just sitting there so many the new pack was installed and that is the old one?

Its very hard to tell the difference, but (if we are correct) the powerpack in the new video has different fans to the old one indicating it is upgraded

Challenger 3 testing integration of EuroTrophy MV hard kill APS with representative turret and upper hull. Specific design and structures of the integration will not be representative of the final design.
Any difference with Trophy aps by Rafael ?
Man, that thing was like year or 2 ago.
Rafael is part of eurothrophy,
eurothrophy is a joined company of General Dynamics European Land Systems, KNDS (KMW+NEXTER DEFENSE SYSTEMS), and RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems for the european distribution.
Its a slightly altered Throohy APS from Rafael so to say
just slight differences but nothing really that different
They are actually Rafael’s products. As for the specific difference, I can only say that Trophy MV will be more streamlined and have fewer ammunition than Trophy HV installed on Leopard 2A8, M1A2SEPV3, K2EX, etc., and the rest, such as radar, transmitters and operation modes, are the same.

Challenger 3 firing at a T72-B3 (I believe). The round went through the front plate, decimated the driver and crew compartment aswell as the autoloader and ammo, before ripping through the engine and out the other side. I wish i had a longer video but cant find it anywhere.
Whats the main differences over DM73?
Bigger, longer, maybe faster (idk atm), more powerful, can blow a T-90M apart from like 5km’s (in real life, in WT it likely won’t make a dent in it cause muh no anti-ERA stance from Gaijin).

and I assume its got inert propellant too?
Most likely, given that its a staple of Rheinmetall’s.
IIRC that’s been a feature of every kinetic projectile they’ve developed since DM63 and onwards with the propellant incrementally becoming more and more inert.
