I only asked because it appear to have a similar base to the current mowag used by the DF with a remote weapons station.Theirs not to make reply,

Problem straight way...Look at the HEAT trap under the gunmantlet and under where the turret sides slope inward toward the turret mounting..perfect aiming pooint for an RPG....well back to the drawing board and start again....no point in putting a nice 25mm gun in a death trapLast edited by FMolloy; 7 September 2006, 13:26.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

Hi all
HPT, the failure of armour designers to learn from history never ceases to amaze me, nor does the fact that, for all the advances in ATGW design, the humble RPG is still a force to be reckoned with. Does anyone practise personal anti-armour warfare in the DF? Outside of using Javelins or MILAN?

Yeah, we use sraaws at section level and the carl gustaf 84 at platoon level.Sraaaw is taught to every soldier in 2-3 * trg.84 is covered on the infantry light support weapons course."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

50 cal on top is adding a lot of height to the vehicle. Would it not be better to Just have the 30mm and its coax? Very few AFVs have hatch mounted Machine guns any more. It kinda does away with the whole point of being armoured.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

It cannot be loaded from under armour.
For a few euro more you could have picked this.
You can load this from under armour.
Go figure.
So if you have to get out to load is that not defeating its pupose. Is the idea of this weapon to keep the operaters inside and out of harms way??Sir I cant find my peltors........Private they are on your face
