Some recent pics of the Pandur II being tested in Austria with CT-CV system. Portugal is interested in buying 33 of them. CT-CV on AMV recently tested in Finland And ofcourse an older pic on Piranha III tested in UK.

CMI has updated their site with an old movie of the LCTS90 and MK8 on a Piranha II platform. Its very short and ofcours doesn't say much but I just wanted to let you know. http://www.cmigroupe.com/vpage.php?id=75

http://www.armada.ch/06-6/article-full.cfm A new article written in Armada about guns on "light" vehicles.

I wouldn't call the Fennek large.

I suppose this was the FV270. The FV290 offers more protection against mines.Stanag leve 2B/3A Don't know how that compares with others. Just looking at the picture. The Iguana maybe offers more protection against direct fire. Less windows, especially in the front.  More sloped armour. Iguana...

I think that's the 105MM. The CT stands for the tower and CV for the cannon. So CT-CV is tower/gun. http://www.cmigroupe.com/vpage.php?id=142 http://www.cmigroupe.com/files/movies/montagever23.mpg Old brochure 90MM with pics of turret/cannon on Piranha II platform (that was made I think by...

Upside down look of the Iguana. I don't know which version. Page 16 http://www.crif.be/uploadedFiles/MEDIA/PUBLICATIONS/WTCM-CRIF-Report-2003-FR.pdf

You could save yourselves some money Or even more if one bought 90MM. I think GM Canada (--GDLS) has bought 130 90M MK8's for Saudi-Arabia so there is some experience in Canada. And the MK8 is COTS and exported to several countries. Ok 90MM is not good against modern tanks and upgraded older...

Some information for people interested. A brochure in English http://www.sofema-groupe.com/espace_telechargement_fr/espace_libre/doc_groupe_fr/sabiex/PlaquSabiex-A.pdf In portugese with some pics. http://www.defesanet.com.br/noticia/iguana/iguana.pdf Some pictures with what looks like a...

I 've read that the SCAR should cost about the same as a M4/M16 so price probably won't be the problem if that information is correct. For the price of one F22 they can replace 10.000's of M4's with SCAR if they want to.

Mecar is working on HEP-T rounds for both M1/LEOPARD II and Challenger based on their experience with 105MM HEP rounds.

They were bought very recently and the first were deliverd by the end of August in Afhanistan. http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/2006/08/dutch-spend-eur-25m-on-bushmaster-imvs-for-afghan-mission-updated/index.php...

The Dutch have yet to take a decision. The latest I read is that the "cost per unit" are considered to high by Dutch ministry of defence "considering the amount of money they 've already put in the project." Before march 1 they will make a decision if they will continue with this project or not...

Belgian military introduced a new concept called "adequate minimum" with means that the AIV's (Dingo II's and LMV) will be switched between the units acording to mission needs. Last year, adequate minimum was 300 AIV's. Now it apperently is 242. Money is used to buy 10 NH90's. ( I am Belgian not...

Correct me if I am wrong. The last decades over 8.000 Piranha's I,II; III's were sold world wide. At this moment none of them are equiped with a (working) 105mm gun. The only (working) MGS on a LAV platform (-20 ton) have a 90mm gun, used by Quatar, Kuwait and Saudi-Arabia. (I don't know but are...

Thanks. If I read something in Dutch/French that could be of interest for this discussion (in particular why they went for the 90mm instead of the 105mm) I will let you know.(Flemish) media are suggesting that Belgian MOD did CMI the favour of the year while CMI probably hoped that Belgium would...

Hi. I don't want to go off topic but maybe this is relevant for the discussion. Belgium bought 242 Piranha III AIV's from MOWAG (General Dynamics) for 700 million €. 99 equiped with a remote controlled weapon system. (probably the Arrows 300 .50 (FN)), 32 with a 30mm canon (probably the ORCWS...
