you are right, it should be a simply made one, not standard service type I posted.
no, the standard one is connected to the door. and have hinges, so that it can open with the door.
it’s advanced part is that it is as about 1/10 - 1/5 light as normal grille armor while keep same fuction.
it’s used to defend RPG and misssiles, but use special ropes and knots to reduce the weight.
found the video, though only a part, there should be a test video of this armor. [加油!向未来]猛士装甲车霸气入场 老军工解密装甲传奇| CCTV (youtube.com)
Would be a solid add for the Israeli Air Tree. It has a wide variety of weaponry it can use, many of which is indigenous. Its capability of using Python 4/5’s, and AIM-120C’s makes it a later add. The Israeli Air Force didn’t adopt it but I think it was tested with I-Derby’s at one point.
Edit: It can fire all variants of Derby, please see the suggestion here:
Pretty much all IAF aircraft can use the derby if it has compatible launchers. I believe it was Rafael that stated they made all IAF aircraft compatible with the derby and the ability for onboard systems to use it was integrated should the need arise to use it. That goes for the F-16C/D Barack I/II, F-16I, F-35I (potentially), and the F-15 variants around during the time of the Derby’s production.
However, I believe the Derby can only be mounted on the underwing pylons, but I’m unsure about its compatibility with the belly pylons as I believe those are different types of launchers. Meaning it’s possible that we could only have 4 Derby’s max, and at expense of the Sidewinders/Python 4/5 potentially.
The early batch armed IR AAM AIM-9L & Python 4, SARH AIM-7M and AIM-120C (unknown variant), LANTIRN (AN/AAQ-14) Sharpshooter targeting pod & (AN/AAQ-13) navigation pod, JDAM (GBU-31(V)1/B & GBU-38(V)1/B), Spice 2000 & 1000, GBU-10 & GBU-16 Paveway II laser guided bomb and AGM-142 Popeye (unknown variant)
Late batch armed AIM-9M instead AIM-9L and new domestic IAF/IDF 5th gen IR Python 5, Rafael Litening III targeting pod instead LANTIRN AN/AAQ-14 Sharpshooter and the latest PGM GBU-72.
But the Ra’am late batch retain AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod, Python 4, AIM-7M Sparrow, AIM-120C (unknown variant), JDAM (GBU-31(V)1/B & GBU-38(V)1/B), Spice 2000 & 1000, GBU-10 & GBU-16 Paveway II laser guided bomb and AGM-142 Popeye (unknown variant)
For aircraft export operators service. IAF/IDF trial only
Still sat here waiting for all the canberra (b57 for all of you freeaboos) variants. A nord equiped one would be wonderous, but also the american one with the vulcan in the nose… Still waiting on the british canberra with the extended wings and larger bomb capacity (aka just allowing us to remove and add the gun pod as a mod).
Sweden doesn’t have a gap at 11.7, France has gap from 10.0-11.3. And Dutch vehicles could be added to fill that gap. And the 2A4 is in like 3 tech trees now anyway.
In those tech trees it belongs cause its in the invetory of said armys. The leoaprds where never in the invetory of the french army. The gap in france line up is gajin made. France has vehciels to fill those gaps, from portypes to used ones.
The Leopard 1’s and Leopard 2’s that BeNeLux nations have used are most likely coming to the French tree within the next update or two. They’ve already datamined some of them so it’s already expected. They even have other Leopard 2’s now that can be added like the Leopard 2A6MA3 that the Dutch are leasing. I do wish we could’ve had more French vehicles prior to the sub-tree addition. There’s still plenty that are missing, I mean, ffs where’s the ERC 90 Sagaie?
