  • Seen this tender for a sensor suite on the RG32M. Any ideas what sort of system this is likely to be?

    • Something along these lines? The same system is used on the Fennek.

                No, No, he's right they would be cool. And maybe we could each be issued one of these to bring on holiday and keep those Germans off the sunbeds

                      • Guys,
                        Can somebody clarify something for me. The RG32s are working out about €750K each while the Rheinmettall BAA system mentioned above is about €5-600K. That means that the STA will cost almost as much as the vehicle its on!!!!!!
                        Is that normal?

                          The Swedes only paid €180,000 each for their RG-32Ms - how come we're paying so much more?

                          • oops,
                            My Bad. That contract price was for 27 + 27. ie approx: €311,000
                            Makes the sensors look even more expensive!!!!

                                Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
