Add on armour on the UFP, Cheeks look thiccer compared to base Cr2, new mantlet design, keeps the bulge over gun, sides seems to have space for armour

Ngl was hoping for a more radical turret design this looks like CR2.1 you can tell there is something missing in the breach area and such

kinda looks like theres something done to the ufp
Yep, either plate with a nice cover or composite
its thicker by a large margin

Am curious but I wonder will they add additional spaced armor to the turret like the leopard 2A6 wedge’s because if you look closely to the picture I’m focus to the top of the mantlet it’s sort of gives a hint that there is additional armor to be added ?? I could obviously be wrong but it looks like it ??
could also be last years one with a fresh coat of paint that theyve been using to test stuff
doubt, granades launchers are there, and look like they will sit there
Also looks like a bit more on the hull around the Driver’s hatch.
There anything on youtube at IAV2024?
hmmm idk its weird cause the ufp look taller, but there wouldnt be space for that. im calling it on this being the prototype theyve been using and the photo is just wacked
nope, its an add on, just like the plates on Cr2,and it is either a plate with a nice cover or a composite block
Doesn’t look like a plate looks like new composite array mounted on the internal plate. You notice it sits higher the and isn’t level with the hull front sides at the top
Dont you trust UK ability to cover plates?
yea the whole ufp looks taller. like they decreased slope
Red part looks solid, so it might be a extension of the ufp
Blue part is where the bulge starts
Just like on the BN
Something like that is there, but as a monoblock
i mean wtf do they only show it on a tv screen? we need a real photo of it
specially with a measuring tape
oh yea they had to push the headlights to the side cause its too thick lol
it also seems to gain elevation in direction to the drivers hatch
So imo the bock on the UFP will be counted into Farnham, so it will get EPSOM block on the LFP simmilar to DL2F l and above
