Nieuwe ontwikkelingen op Defensiegebied / Re: internationale ontwikkelin...
Last post by Master Mack - Vandaag om 10:36Vind het verlies van 5 tanks op 30 stuks helemaal niet zo schrikbarend. Vroeger hielden we ook rekening met overdreven gezegd gone in 60 seconds. Het is in mijn beleving te verdelen in een aantal issues. De manier van ontplooien. Het nog niet beschikken over de nieuwste verdedigingsmiddelen tegen drones (zie oplossingen Israël bijv). En het vooral zuinig moeten zijn met deze spaarzame middelen.Deden de Duitsers ook in WO2 aan het einde van de oorlog materiaal van het ene front terugtrekken om op een ander front op het juiste moment een zwaartepunt te kunnen creëren. Wat me alleen wel af en toe irriteert is als dan bijvoorbeeld een Rob de Wijk dit meteen als anti tanker weer aan de discussie over de aanschaf van een Nederlandse tankbataljon koppelt. Wel een beetje eerlijke discussie voeren. Omdat er veel vrachtwagens uit de voering worden geschoten stoppen we ook niet met het gebruik van vrachtwagens.

Het oude vooraf aan WO2 bekende protectionisme en de niet ons probleem mentaliteit. Maar aan de andere kant gewoon tijd dat we onze eigen broek ophouden en Oekraïne volledig als EU (probleem) partner gaan zien.

Last post by Harald - Vandaag om 09:28UK to seek additional F-35 acquisition phases
The UK has touted the prospect of additional procurement batches of the F-35 as it looks to fulfil its 138-aircraft programme of record. (Crown copyright)
The UK government has said that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) will seek additional acquisition phases for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning combat aircraft, beyond the phase currently contracted and the one now in negotiation.
The Earl of Minto Gilbert Timothy George Lariston Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, minister of state at the MoD, said in early April that approval for further procurement tranches of the F-35 will be sought as the UK moves towards its planned 138-aircraft buy over the life of the programme.
"Our plan remains to procure 138 aircraft through the life of the programme. This procurement is phased; our first acquisition phase of 48 aircraft is under way at present, with the second phase consisting of a further 27 aircraft now progressing through the approvals process, which will form the basis of our third front-line Lightning squadron with deliveries expected to continue into 2033. The MoD will seek approval for further acquisition phases at the appropriate time," the minister said.

Last post by Harald - Vandaag om 09:26Israel Introduces ELI-3312 Solution to Protect Tanks Against Drone Attacks
(sensor welke gecombineerd kan worden met bijvoorbeeld 30mm RWS)
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has introduced a solution to address the vulnerability of tanks facing warheads launched by multi-rotor drones. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) had previously devised an interim measure for its Merkava tanks, known as the "Cope Cage," widely used in the conflict in Ukraine. This consists of a metal net affixed to the upper section of the tanks, protecting the IDF's Merkava 4 main battle tanks.
These metal nets are designed to intercept anti-tank charges dropped from above, detonating them before they reach the tank itself. While this interim solution has proven effective to a certain extent, the quest for more sophisticated protection systems is ongoing.
IAI's electronic division, Elta, presents a tailored remedy to this challenge: the ELI-3312 Huntereye. This cutting-edge system belongs to a family of compact target-acquisition sensors designed for precise target acquisition and cueing. It is crafted to seamlessly integrate with both light and heavy Remote Weapon Stations (RWS) as well as Main Battle Tanks (MBT).
The ELI-3312 Huntereye system excels at detecting, classifying, and tracking fire sources, delivering real-time situational awareness. Combining the capabilities of two primary sensors into a unified system, it incorporates a ground surveillance radar for swift detection and identification, along with an embedded Electro-Optical (EO) fire source sensor. This sensor is installed on an integrated Remote Weapon Station (RWS). Notably, the system boasts modularity, enabling easy adaptation to various weapon stations and guns.

However, details about this type of system are limited, as the company has restricted information about this new product. Nevertheless, anti-drone systems are becoming increasingly popular among various armies worldwide, and it would not be surprising to see such products emerge in the market. It remains to be seen how the ELI-3312 Huntereye will be received.

Nieuwe ontwikkelingen op Defensiegebied / Re: Leopard 3
Last post by Harald - Vandaag om 09:07Future European tank to be built by 4-party French and German industry venture
The future company will commit to a 50/50 workshare split between French and German manufacturers, supported by an "innovative 'level-pillar approach,'" said manufacturer KNDS.
A group of four major European defense firms say they plan on teaming up to establish a "joint project company" to design and manufacture the French and German next-generation Main Ground Combat System (MGCS).
KNDS Deutschland, KNDS France, Rheinmetall Landsysteme and Thales will "soon begin negotiations" so the joint venture can be established and a "contract" can be implemented from 2025, said KNDS in a press release today.
The move comes just days after French and German officials signed the "phase 1a" agreement to begin development of MGCS, a platform set to replace the Leclerc and Leopard main battle tanks and one the defense ministers from Paris and Berlin desribed as something "competely new."
Welcoming the bilateral political agreement, the four defense contractors said they see the move "as an essential milestone in the development of a superior ground combat system for the armed forces of the future." They said the new company will "meet the challenges of such a complex multi-platform system in the best possible and synergetic way."
The future company will commit to a 50/50 workshare split between French and German manufacturers, supported by an "innovative 'level-pillar approach,'" added KNDS. At the signing of the MGCS phase 1a contract, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius shared details of the MGCS industrial plan, broken down into eight pillars: platform, traditional firepower, innovative firepower, connectivity, sensors, simulation, protection and infrastructures.
The new joint venture will mark a marriage of some of the largest defense firms in France and Germany. France's Nexter Systems, which makes Leclerc platforms, and Germany's Krauss-Maffei-Wegmann, maker of the Leopard, merged in 2015 to form KNDS. Germany's Rheinmetall is one of Europe's largest armored tracked vehicles manufacturers, ranging from the KF51 Panther, to the Lynx IFV and the AEV3 Kodiak.
The French and German governments have also learned from the mistake of their SCAF next generation future fighter program, where they made workshare decisions before consulting with air forces. This time around, "a lot of work has gone into ensuring that the needs of both our armies were taken into account first," added Pistorius, before engaging industry.
In the meantime, France is currently concentrating on a Leclerc XLR upgrade program, launched in 2015. That program involves older tanks being fitted with 7.62mm remotely operated turrets, integration of a new Scorpion combat information system (SICS), greater armor protection against mines and rockets and development of a new fire control system, according to KNDS Nexter company literature. The upgrade is expected to see 200 of the 60-ton tanks from the French Army upgraded by 2029.
On the German side, MGCS's proposed development schedule is "increasingly seen as inopportune" because it clashes with a highly successful Leopard 2A8 sales campaign, amounting to 400 vehicles, said the French Institute of International Relations in a 2023 report [PDF].
But for now senior military officials and defense industry behemoths are lauding the MGCS's first steps. The future tank is expected to enter service between 2040 and 2045.

Last post by Parera - Vandaag om 06:39Sweden Looking At More Surface Combatants And Submarines
The Swedish Parliamentary Defence Committee has presented their proposal for the period of 2026 to 2030. The Committee is calling for the procurement of additional surface combatants and submarines.
https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2024/04/sweden-looking-at-more-surface-combatants-and-submarines/
Halverwege de jaren '30 zou er een nieuwe klasse oppervlakte schepen bij moeten komen. Dit moet een bestaand ontwerp worden met beperkte aanpassingen, volgens NavalNews kijkt men op dit moment o.a. naar de Finse Pohjanmaa-class korvetten.
Ik zou er niet van staan te kijken als men uiteindelijk kiest voor een verlengde en aangepaste variant van de nu in ontwikkeling zijnde Luleå klasse.
Ook wil men in de zelfde periode de NH-90's gaan vervangen. De Visby klasse zal tot in de jaren '40 in dienst blijven, daarom krijgen ze een MLU. De Gävle & Stockholm klasse korvetten zijn vanaf nu patrouille schepen en zullen in dienst blijven tot de Luleå in dienst is. Mogelijk blijven 2 Gävle klasse schepen nog in dienst tot de nieuwe schepen in dienst komen.
En als laatste overweegt men het aankopen van 4 Submarine 30 klasse onderzeeboten, deze worden nu ontwikkeld en zullen vanaf 2038 in dienst komen ter vervanging van de 3 Gotland klasse boten. Hiermee groeit de Zweedse onderzeedienst tot 6 nieuwe boten (2x A26 + 4x A30 boten).

Last post by Huzaar1 - Vandaag om 05:32Citaat van: Benji87 op 29/04/2024 | 20:06 uurEr is nog geen officiële berichtgeving maar de terugtrekking uit Avdiivka is wel met de nodige verliezen gepaard gegaan. Er wordt nu geschat dat Oekraïne ongeveer 25-30% van de gedoneerde Leopard 2's kwijt is waarvan er dus ook een flink aantal verloren zijn gegaan bij die specifieke terugtrekking. Of dit specifiek door drones komt is onduidelijk. Overigens zijn de eerste Leopard 2's nu ook te bezichtigen op het rode Plein in Moskou
Tja niet al te interessant. De leopard2A6 is erg oud en heeft niet veel geheimen voor ze. Identiek voor Abrams of bradley.
