GM of Canada LAV II fitted with LCTS 90 turret with Cockerill Mk 8 gun. As far as I know the Falarick 90 has not been exported to Saudi Arabia, per SIPRI.
Hello, I just found out about this and Im quite surprised that there is no mention of the LAV-300 Mk.II and what I assume is the Arrowpointe Dragoon 2-man turret with a Cockerill Mk. 3 M-A1 gun in service with the Philippine Marine Corps but was also in service with Panama and Kuwait.
Ah, that is because there are hundreds of vehicles that just use Cockerill Guns, thus these were not included in the list.
For example: the Cockerill mark III gun was used or trialed on almost every NATO light tank turret at the time, such as, but not limited to, FL-12 and FL-11 turrets on the AMX-13, dragoon turrets, CVRT turrets, FIAT turrets, etc.
I could add a disclaimer for this. This list is mostly focused on vehicles that are at least 50% development or co-developed by Cockerill. (So basically either a Cockerill turret or a fully Cockerill made vehicle).
But definitely thanks for the info! You weren’t the first one to mention how several LAV variants use Cockerill technology.
Ah so thats why lol, its all good, the info you guys put here helped a ton on my own suggestions. Thank you for the work you guys put in and for making this centralized hub for info (you have no idea how good this is for people researching stuff).
This looks very similar to a Helio FVT925 Turret also fitted on the GKN Simba and the Alvis Scorpion as a prototype turret for France’s VBCI but I could be wrong.
You might want to start from there I think. Hope this helps!
EDIT:
So yep, Ive never really seen any other turret that has a smooth left side on the front and I cant think of anything else other than the Helio turrets and its really only the FVT925 that has the 25mm Bushmaster but it does not really look like it.
Thank you! It looks similar but there are slight differences (such as the angle of the left-side plate on the front and the mantlet). I’ll look into this one more, maybe there’s an earlier design somewhere
Im a bit surprised the V-150 90mm FSVs have not been mentioned here yet. From just a cursory research, I think its in service with the Royal Thai Army, I think there were plans to upgrade the chassis to an HMV-150 but I dont think they transferred the turrets over:
Didn’t you post about another example like this last week?
Both only use the cockerill gun, and are thus not included in this list. (It needs to use a cockerill turret or be a semi-cockerill design to be featured here)
I could make such a list, but that’s more for the far future…
I see so it needs to be a Cockerill turret, my bad. The one I posted was on the precursor to the LAV chassis which is the LAV-300 but this one is on a V-150 Commando Chassis (M107 in US Service iirc).
Arquus MAV’Rx 4×4 protected patrol vehicle CPWS 25 gen. 2
For 2 of these three vehicles information is exceptionally scarce, only the one from Thales Belgium is featured often in old articles. The Rosomak was often wrongly named by some people on twitter/X, but also by the Polish defense press, which often confused it with the XC-8-120HP variant or the CT-CV 105HP variant.
Edit: I added 2 robot-vehicles with Cockerill turrets (Estonian project) + one more Arquus-Cockerill project.
Originally intended to be used with a Cockerill 3105 turret, the Indonesian goverment who intends to use this Antasena-class combat boat, expressed more interest in a Bushmaster mk.44 30mm-armed one.
