Soon after World War 2, the Soviet Union created the T-54 tank. It was such a successful project and set such a high bar that the machine stayed in production for decades. Designing a better replacement turned out to be a hard task. Soviet engineers spent ages trying to make a radically new vehicle. One of those attempts was a tank known as the Object 140.
Where’s the new new-gen tanks?
By the title, I was hoping this was a thread about giving all nations tanks equal to the Leopard 2A7. God knows most nations need that
I was hoping for Abrams X and KF41…
Actually kf-51
For a Soviet engineer, sure. Still can’t get over Gaijin’s infamous [paraphrasing here] “because Soviet engineers couldn’t figure out how to get the extra performance over roughly the same surface area, we are basically nerfing NATO/Western missiles”.
Yes, the new German Panther. My Bad.
But i actually waiting for kf-41 prototype in German branch too:
And the Leopard 2 A-RC I think France will probably get it too?
Justice for Stinger and Mistral
Why actually? In that logic Germany must get leclerc evolution
It is a product of KNDS, which is a German/French conglomerate
I give example above.
Leclerc Evolution is specifically made by KNDS France (Nexter), not KNDS as a whole
Double standards again?
I don’t necessarily agree with this argument I’m just laying it out since you asked why
Upon further reading it seems like Leopard 2 A-RC is made by KNDS Deutschland, similar to how KNDS France makes Leclerc Evo. So it’s a wash really
this, because mostly everyone knows its the case,
the only shared programm is the embt
that ones pure german just like leclerc evolution is pure french
only embt is currently shared
Was it a solo project?
Yep. KNDS Deutschland. But as well people telling that a KNDS (fully), then it must works in both sides
