Next Major Update - Rumor Roundup & Discussion

For the Benelux it’s the CV9035NL MLU and the Cockerill 3030 turret that both have an APS system either in service (with the Dutch) or undergoing trials (with Belgium).

Leclerc evolution

yea, i really should plan a trip there again! the last time i was there was in 2018 for Tiger Day. i even have a cool video of me and like 10 other guys watching Tiger 131 start up while they were doing a test run.

Funnily enough next to 131 currently is a Nashorn on loan from Belgium. (These images are from August this year)

France Germany Japan China (technically they have the vt5 but I don’t think that works lmao) same with Italy kf41 technically has one but… We know strikeshield and Sweden but idk if they have anything par 2a8

VT4A1 has APS

Stuff like this makes me miss living near bovington

Half hour trip for me which is a bonus.

Does that actually work idk I’m kinda glueless here

Yep, its the one with Hardkill APS

And then also embt 2022

Sweden will probably get the Norwegian 2A8NO with Trophy. Plus the 123A/123B are 2A8/2A8 standard tanks so we’ll see.

Must be wrong then :3 I thought it was a shitty one that didn’t work

Only these Four for now, all other ones have at least one vehicle with APS.

technically, it was from the Netherlands iirc. i actually have pictures of that one too, since i’m from there. sadly, i took them just a few weeks after it had been in the workshop for restoration, and it was completely burned out by then.

Do we count Softkill as APS?
Because that would reduce it even further
:clueless:

ah, true. Depending on how optimistic your marketing skills are.

I don’t know how long Bovy have it for, but I’m suspecting it will still be there when I go next month.

What I mentioned. And strv123A seems to be publicly a 2a7 not 2a8 spec.
Strv123B won’t exist for like 3 years so 🤷‍♀️
