New Mowag Piranhas in action

Considering we're only paying €50 million how much of a rebuild can that pay for?

Folks,
For those of us who have IKON. It's all there.
For those who don't, sorry but the exact details are not for public discussion just yet.However lets just say that with the upgrade the only original parts will be the hulls.

The new,old, cars will be a massive improvement and will greatly enhance the situational awareness and force protection of the crews and dismounts

Quite a lot, considering each car only cost over €1m.

I see the CoS posted some photos of the Mowag upgrades on twitter earlier. The "minister" and he are in Switzerland visiting GD Land systems.
Earlier this week they were visiting Pilatus.

Is that a different RWS?

**na grohmitÃ** · 13th April 2018, 22:35

It certainly appears to be. In fact it looks very much like the version seen recently at Eurostatory, with a Javelin mount alongside the main gun armament.

How is that Javelin and gun and optics protected from the elements?

The new Dual RWS is for 12.7 HMG and 7.62 MAG, giving the same firepower as the old turret its replacing.

What's on the hull front next to the drivers hatch?

A camera, part of a system giving 360 vision day and night around the vehicle.
