Cockerill Weapon systems - Which ones, what weapons and what ammunitions

The 76mm gun likely refers to the production gun it had, as it used the Scorpion turret with the L23A1 gun.

However, it being the Scorpion 90 turret could be the case, after all, it already used a different Scorpion turret.

This is all else I could find, on the one I posted originally:

Not a Cockerill turret, but these three vehicles have the Cockerill Mk. III in the French Lynx 90 (/ D 90) turret:

VBC 90 Lynx

  • VBC 90 (French)

ERC 90 Lynx Cockerill

  • ERC 90 (French)

  • VEC 90 (Spanish)

Maybe more were tested with this turret, but I haven’t found them yet. Sometimes seen this referred to as the Lynx 90/75 turret, to indicate the modularity of the gun.

(Working on suggestions for them)

Cockerill is possibly developing a 105 mm gun for the EBRC Jaguar platform

https://fixupx.com/jeff21461/status/2011824256900800773?s=46

🇧🇪🇫🇷 Jean-Luc Maurange, CEO of John Cockerill, stated to Les Echos that the company is developing a “relatively powerful gun (105 mm) for the Jaguar armoured vehicle”.

The man hopes that the good cooperation between France and Belgium in the field of armored vehicles will continue with the definition of a new small joint armored vehicle and the development of a relatively powerful gun (105 mm) for the Jaguar armored vehicle.

The actual quote in the article so it’s slightly different and not guaranteed.

Another entry to the list: K21-105

(The K21, but this time with a 3105 turret instead)


The full lineup of turrets taking part in the demonstration including the Cockerill 3105 on the K21, manned and unmanned versions of the 3030 system mounted on AMV and Piranha 8×8 vehicles, Belgian SIBMAS (6×6) with LTCS 90MP, Commando Select (4×4) with CSE 90LP mounted and the CPWS on a Sherpa Light 4×4

This makes the K21 the only vehicle to trial all Cockerill 105 mm gun turrets!

So I missed the Pindad Harimau: Turkish-Indonesian Skirmisher with the Cockerill 3105 turret suggestion, hereby I added it. There is one line for the roughly 10 variants of this vehicle.

I suppose I should add some to the pile.

Jais 4x4 CPWS II

image

Found by @Tim_TeaDrinker , it’s a Saudi-Arabian Jais 4x4, UAE license built modification of the South African RG35, fitted with a Cockerill second-generation CPWS.

I found more accurate data. Saudi Arabian.

State-owned Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) unveiled a new version of the Jais 4x4 mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicle that it is producing under licence from United Arab Emirates-based NIMR.

The new version of Jais, as seen by Shephard on 7 March at the World Defense Show in Riyadh, is equipped with a SAMI-CMI Roaya remote weapon station (RWS), which a company representative said is a version of the John Cockerill CPWS turret.
