I’m trying to do research here but i can’t find crap, just like 1 reddit post about it that was rather empty
Edit: think i found it, is it about the F-16 GCAS?
Also found this pic with a logo of the project
It’s a F-16A that Sweden acquired for testing. It was to fill the role of JAS, but they decided for a domestic product, the Gripen. There’s minimal info on it though.
It’s not VN-22, seems a new chassis, and the turret is like a model, possibly a 105mm
VN-22 is distinguishable for it’s front

ah gotcha, the GCAS seems to be a block 25 F-16D so def way different versions
🇷🇺 T-90M Arena-M, A Work In Progress
One of the first seen elements of the Arena-M on a T-90M.
The element seen is one that’s installed on the turret cheek.
A regular T-90M on the production line.

- For more information on how it works, see the suggestion of the T-72B3A, which has a fully working Arena-M system installed on a T-72B3 obr. 2016:

De Havilland DH.93 Don
Designed as a crew trainer but most were quickly disarmed for communication use. 189mph, 1x forward and 1x rear MG in a manual turret, plus 16 practice bombs (light stores carriers that could take up to 4x100lb).
Hardly a powerhouse but like all good Dons it could teach the noobs a few new tricks.

Looks a lot like the tridon.
Honestly I’m kinda surprised how fast the implementation on production floor is made. I expected for them to roll out next year and not just few months after they being ordered

The Ox Box.
The Airspeed Oxford is an overllooked type, not surprising as only 8,851 were built and served with the air arms of a mere 24 countries.
It served mainly as a crew trainer and transport alongside rhe Avro Anson, but if required the Mk.I could sport 1x MG in a dorsal turret, plus 4x light stores carriers for 16x 20lb bombs. A few aircraft also flew coastal patrolls employing stores with a little more bite.
Although it didn’t, it was very much capable of mounting it. I personally wouldn’t have a problem with adding such ERA if gaijin would be willing to finally bump it up to 11.0 where it belongs.

hoping for AESA in some form, preferably F15C with an/apg 63v2 as a starter
Those are Kontakt-1 mount points, not Kontakt-5. Pretty useless ERA.
ERA nonetheless, which is better than no ERA. I would gladly take it on my tank given the marginally higher weight.
Not really. The T-80B has the same ERA. First step after researching the ERA mod is to immediately uninstall it again to save 500kg of deadweight.
And the T-80B is still a better tank than the 292 with or without the K1.
In what world do you live in…
Same one as you.
