Does anyone know what gun is installed in this AMX-VCI photo? The barrel look too long for M2HB Browning machine gun and the conical flash hider is not something that usually fitted into the M2.
My wild guess it’s single Barrel ZPU-1/KPV HMG or something else. but i need someone else opinion and analysis
source of the photo
another angle
The barrel supports ( shroud) looks like an M2 Browning, that muzzle brake can also be found on other Indonesian brownings & other countries (IDF in this case)
the barrel length itself is the questionable part, it looks twice as tall as the regular M2 but maybe its due to the mounting port on the VCI since the mount is external and slightly protrudes compared to the V-150

question:
-
So how much the approximate spare rocket P6 ATAV can carry? because just 2 70mm guided rocket + .50 cal would be bad in mid tier (unless it’s classified as TD)
-
If P6 ATAV with .50 cal now in the list, then it’s possible to add other light armed light vehicle like Improvised Armored truck with M2HB (just like used during Aceh Insurgency) for br 1.0 SPAA (just like soviet milk truck) or 40mm AGL platform light vehicle like BTR-40 and VBL? because there is considerable amount of vehicle suggestion with 40mm AGL as the main gun in the forum, and Gaijin is pretty much won’t give a damn with cold war vehicle in low tier
-
it is a TD, and i based it as a worse off ZT3A2 for the rank
-
its only because it has a rocket launcher, just like the ZT3A2, the rocket is the primary armament, rcws second

so no spare rocket?
no clue. The only appearance was at eurosatory we dont have a lot of details ¯_(ツ)_/¯
the same document also mentioned that the Army would receive two Harimau APC for testing this year

I hope PT Pindad and FNSS could develop SPH and SPAA based on Harimau Chassis
Bonus (timpa):
Jadgmaung
Strv Maung
Lmfao, the first two were quite convincing, but as soon as I saw this one

considering the reason why we havent bought more of the MT was because of cost (60% of the cost was on the turret if i recall), it should be considerably cheaper to use only the Harimau hull.
Would be the most ideal option for them to be the backbone APC/IFV of the Army. No brainer really considering they’re also planning on adding weapon stations on the APC

Details of the Retrofitted Scorpion 90, it seems to be a part of the same package by Respati, but they were mounted separately? Maybe its a compilation of the upgrades, rather than one single upgrade program
the changes seems to include:

It could be that the thermals mounted on the barrel is only the prototype, and the one fitted ontop of the turret is a more modern version
EDIT: Found the Original HQ video version
so yeah they’re the same project, unknown exactly which is the earlier version, considering the image above has exposed wiring i presume its the early, whereas the one with only the vision port mounted one seems to be better put together

From what I gather the Scorpion 90 came with Gen 2 thermals, but they where prone to vibration issues and blurring, so mounting to the gun might have been a low cost/risk testing programme?
original system appears to be this
might be wrong but the original appears to be related this Avimo unit. Which does have thermals and explicitly mentions the Scorpion 90 and is stated to be in service!
All from this:

Excalibur Army Secures a Record Export Contract for Patriot Vehicles | Military vehicles & equipment
Keris mentions that the “unnamed country” is us. apparently the one responsible for this deal is the same one currently in charge of the Rabdan IFV acquisition for the marine corps
one variant mentioned being brought in is the IFV variant. This one is armed with a 20mm modular RCWS, if it has the atgm module it could very well be a decent option, but its still a long ways away (2029)

It seems that another Recoilless Rifle was also used for the GAZ-69, namely the Soviet B-11 107mm Recoilless
Details
The B-11 has that distinctive circular “hook” above the barrel’s end. Notably lacking on the American M40 Recoilless
What’s interesting is that from the first images that hook is missing, so it could be that the B-11 was the original recoilless rifle mounted, then when the troops were sent for the UN mission, they were switched out to the M40 for some reason
Dates of the two variant:
GAZ-69 w/ M40 (US) = 17th Sept 1960
Gaz-69 w/ B-11 (SU) = 1959-1985
the M40 is easy since we have the date of when the photograph took place. The B-11 is a bit more difficult. It says in the photo that its a part of the Infantry Brigade’s Regional Military Command VI/Siliwangi. That name only exists between the year mentioned above, as nowadays it has been changed from VI (6) to III (3)
EDIT:
Signing of a cooperation agreement for the development of 70mm Guided Missile system
though its only a towed system as things stand, PT SAS seems to want to mount it on a truckbed chassis which could function as an Anti-ground or Anti-air
