Yeah, Cockerill has already sold over 300 3105 turrets (the ones used on the Boxer MGS, but also on the Leopard 1A5BE, the Kaplan MT / Harimau, the Zorawar, the Tulpar, the MPF and especially the ones on the LAV 700 chassis).
Since when it has anything to do with Sabrah and Israel?
It’s joint venture of Austria and Spain, equipped with Italian Hitfact I 120 turret in this case.
Looking at the Franco-German situation regarding the DF105, will all the Cockerill mounted plarforms at 1 point in future end up in Belgium subtree as well?
[thats already the Boxer, Patria, CV90 in the game now]
lol, that’d be something.
I think, he mixed it up with Filipino-Israeli Sabrah project which also uses ASCOD hull but with Israeli 105 turret.
He might’ve thought there are two variants, 105 and 120, like many modern AFV based modular projects.
Not really, as thé franco-german coopération for the DF105 had both countries invested in it almost equally, while the three vehicles you described had only minimal intrest from the Belgian government, with only really Cockerill being partially in the project, as they supplied the turrets and fittings. According to the ruleset they apply for the Suggestions all of these three vehicles would not be allowed in the Benelux subtree.
There are regardless over 30 unique other Cockerill turret-vehicles that would be suited, like:
SIBMAS LCTS 90MP: The ultimate all-Belgian vehicle
Or the countless other Cockerill turret + piranha IIIC or piranha IIIH vehicles from the Belgian armed forces that work together closely with Cockerill.
ehhh what you showed is only HSW’s work on this project so a lot will change when the Polish army starts dictating its requirements like in the case of the Borsuk ifv. However, I still support them in showing the technology demonstrator as soon as possible and not going for a foreign design with mods I only hope that with the greater mass HSW will decide to change the caliber of the gun to 40 mm because such a modification is possible the only problem is that ammunition of such dimensions is simply not produced. For now it will be good if they would sign the first 116 ifv Borsuk on this Wednesday
