Many people want their country represented, doesn’t mean it’s actually viable. Netherlands barely has anything unique to offer in terms of ground - nothing that couldn’t just go to the country of origin anyway.
It’s weird to see no IRST-like capabilities for this vehicle. Why would the vehicle have a programmer at the end of the barrel for ammunition that requires some kind of ranging and locking but not have that capability? For either CV9035. It doesn’t make sense, the vehicle has to have an autotracking of some sort so the ammunition can be programmed for the correct range.
Agreed. And Sweden’s Light Tanks don’t have IRST, other than the LkKv 9040C SPAA that has radar+IRST, but it still isn’t a Light Tank (and can’t scout) Even though it’s frame/chassis is based on the CV 9040 line.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it, here is is a screenshot of the barrel end programmer hardware on the CV 9035DK:
You do realise that France has plenty of domestic IFVs/Light tanks that could be added right? Or it is just that it is easier to spit a copy pasted vehicle on us?
