They where talking about South African MBTs
Rafale C F3-R already in france tech tree, but no Rafale B and Rafale M
(Rafale LF1, F1 Early & Late, F2.2, F3.2, F4.1 and F4.2)
F-CK-1A (pre MLU) before Mirage 2000-5Ei and J-10A
But I’m not sure battle rating 13.0 or 13.3
I mean, it is a Chieftain upgrade, and so is the CR1. If for whatever reason the CR1 itself never made it past the proposal/prototype stage, we’d probably call it a failed chieftain upgrade program

It would make no sense to put this as a premium, respectfully.

I found a French MBT with a 140mm gun to go with these two.
The French Leclerc T4 “Terminateur”

some rapidfire mounted on a truck
Could be useful as a french SPAA at 9.0, filling the gap netween AMX-30 DCA and santal

Here’s thé suggestion…
But at 9.0 we could also see an in-service Dutch AA, like the PRTL GWI, which has KEFT and airburst munitions. The Thales Rapidfire is more for ships and such.

it’s basically LS-6 with anti radiation seeker, LS-6 has modular capability, can add/switch to different seeker, and also add booster to get further range.

This can be a pretty good Chinese tt alternative to hammers , brimstones and Mavs
I mean this was a Planned Chieftain Upgrade so…
Upgrade is a subjective term.

No it isn’t as Shir 2 was originally export version of MBT-80. FV4211’s nick name of ‘aluminum Chieftain’ was just because it made during when Chieftain was MBT of British army, and just uses some component. It’s basically entirely new design with new aluminum hull and turret
What you’re saying is like ZSU-23-4/ASU-85 and Object 906 are PT-76.
Always sounds like a sailor moon character to me.
china be getting better mig21 than soviet
