Ascalon sounds like a name for one of those Ace Combat fictional super weapons. “Mobius 1, your mission is straightforward. Destroy Ascalon at all costs. You CANNOT allow it to reach firing strength. Good luck and happy hunting.”
Ascalon was the weapon used by Saint George to kill the dragon. It is usually shown as a spear but can transform into a sword. The French definitely tried too hard to get an acronym to spell this out (Autoloaded and SCALable Outperforming guN).
When people string together awkward words to form an acronym, it's called a "backronym." As in, they worked backwards from the one result they already wanted.
@@mariusrealy9579: The "Ascalon" gun(120 or 140 mm) is French, comes from Nexter now KNDS France. They fire telescopic shells. In Germany the gun maker is Rheinemetal and they produce a 130 mm with traditional ammo for their KF51 Panther. The Rheinmetal gun is just a bigger sized traditional gun whereas Ascalon is a technological breakup.
@@D8141the important aspect of the ASCALON is that it uses the same breach for both. That means that, according to KNDS, a crew of 4 can change the size of the gun in less than 30 minutes, just needing a crane.
Yhe they do that a shitload on presentations but they do seem to tone down all the fancy looks if it goes into service, look for example at something like the KF 41 Lynx, or Ajax.
its only for showing but not for using, and they will be soo expensive none of them will go full production and nato will keep the old tanks designed in the 80s
they only do that if it fits thegame unofficial goal wich is to show soviet crap as superior to western/german stuff. Look only how the T-64s cannot meet Leopard 2 A4 in game. Yeah : ,,Leopard 2 came later into service yada yada yada....." Meanwhile Tiger 2 have to fight T-54 and T55s 🤡

Hello red effect, I was at Eurosatory and got to speak with ppl at KNDS, I won't list everything here but just one thing about the new Leclerc, I genuinely think it's the most impressive bc unlike what you said at the end "all of these are tech demonstrators" that's the case for all the tanks yes, but the Leclerc evo isn't, it's been told to me that this is ready to go and the whole point of it was to make a tank with all CURRENT available technology plus the new gun, and therefore that's what you have, and it's genuinely ready for production. Whereas the Leo ARC is kinda unproven concept area and they're more so trying to do what rheinmetal is also doing altho yeah it's still in a good development phase, and well the embt is just not feasible for now and as you rightly said it's for 2040
Did they mention anything about India buying it, I know they showed interest in the Leclerc a few years ago when the T-14 flopped. I figured part of the reason for evolution was export to India
@@wifi_soldier5076 I'm not sure we can export tanks, we don"t produce the chassis and the engine anymore, so we just improve the tanks we already have...

@@efrosvovelu9076 The leopard order was canceled. They negotiate currently with Rheinmetall about the development and manufacturing of a specialized version of the KF41 for Italy - and the lynx. But it shouldn't be signed yet
@@efrosvovelu9076 Not really. Leonardo and Rheinmetall signed an agreement. The details of such agreement are not known. We shall see what they'll produce for Italy. It might be a KF51, it might not.
One thing you did miss about the Leopard 2A-RC 3.0 (stupid name) is that they designed a double trunnion system for the gun, allowing it to pivot at two separate points. Which should allow for a wider degree of elevation and depression. But honestly it is a novelty that I don't think any customer would like to pay for, since it is an added complexity without any quick hard benefits like more armour, more penetration, or more speed do.
That depends on how far the double trunion extends the arc of the gun. If it extends it up to 60° for example the tank can straight up turn into a makeshift howitzer. That's certainly going to be handy, and will be a capability worth exploring.
@@jean-philippebobin3732 The Soviet Union is similar to the imperium, like all these commissars who execute their own soldiers, infantry assaults causing hundreds of thousands of losses, etc. But Russia is fighting differently now. We have fewer losses than the Ukrainians, although your propaganda may say the opposite. Russia mainly fights with artillery. By the way, forced mobilization and executions of personnel are now quite common in Ukraine, just look at their well-known “counter-offensive,” which can be clearly described as a meat assault. And yes, this tank will remain an expensive toy just to stroke your pride and show how advanced your science is. In Russia we also have a lot of all sorts of expensive combat vehicles and aircraft, but they are not used in a full-scale war because they are expensive.
The KF-51U and A-RC 3.0 are the coolest IMHO. I personally like the missile launcher on the A-RC, and I like the aesthetics of it. The same goes for the KF-51U, but the fact that it has Iron Fist, StrikeShield, MUSS 2.0, _and_ a self-contained anti-drone CIWS makes it the cream of the crop for protection. It should be noted that the RMG 7.62 it uses is not a rotary machine gun, but rather has three single barrels which can be rotated in as one heats up. It only ever uses one at any given time, but the fact that it has three allows it to have a much higher single-barrel ROF than other machine guns.Combined with the radar and the other electronics in that RCWS, it can operate completely independent of the crew, detecting and engaging targets all on its own.
30 mm really isn't that good of idea. Main reason - lack of radar on tank itself. And even if tank crew will detect drone with their eyes they probably still couldn't destroy it because you can simly send a few lancets from different directions and it's pretty much cooked
@@SpookySm1le there is a radar system on the tank. Also the MGCS will communicate with all the other equipment and units including more advanced radar stations. An MBT is never left alone, that's why the EMBT ADT 140 doesn't carry any drone/loitering ammo either.
Because Gaijin won't want to add these as russia won't stand a chance.... Imagine the French tree getting the Leclerc Evolution or embt 2024, the best players in the game getting the best tanks. No amount of russian bias will help them 😂

Bruh the onely notable change is the turret and was made by France onely, the chassis is just a leopard chassis 😐 disappointing, Leclerc EVO does the same
Not really. He talks about "shot traps" and "exposed elements" on these vehicles like it's a video game. Let me assure you that when your vehicle takes a direct hit from anything, things will break regardless and you will have to return to base for repairs.
@HolyNorthAmericanEmpire you know shot traps are dangerous like with the panther from ww2 it suffered heavy losses due to its shot trap (ricocheting is a thing not just in games) and exposed places could be weak spot for drone (as u see with the russo ukraine war) Yes stuff will break but those are the risks of war you take stuff in and you might not return with it
@@ghostpost. Modern APFSDS doesn't ricochet, when the dart doesn't go through it simply shatters. It's not WW2 anymore. And if the Russo-Ukrainian war shows one thing, than that such complains don't matter, because as soon as an explosive is dropped on the tank it's a mission kill either way, because things like the optics etc. get damaged. And you cannot armor these elements enough to be invincible, so don't bother at all. The T-14, Leopard 2 ARC 3.0 and EMBT ADT-140 are doing it right.
@HolyNorthAmericanEmpire apfsds most certainly can ricochet but like you said it will just shatter/split I mentioned the panther as its a famous example of the dangers of shot traps Yes but like I said you should expect these things to get destroyed and/or damaged Tbf they're newer and are more adapted to modern age combat
What strikes me on a lot of these new propose tanks, is the lack of coaxial MG. Im not a tanker, but I have heard actual tankers mention that the coaxial MG is almost more important than the main tank gun. Having machine guns only present as remote weapon stations on the turret roof heavily reduces their ammo capcity and makes it much harder to reload.
@@nucleus691 the 2ARC does not, indeed, have a coax but i wouldn't worry about it since it's just a prototype. Go to 5.40 and look to the right of the gun (your right). You should be able to see the mg.
With the Ascalon 120/140, I think the Rheinmetall 130mm gun is dead on arrival. It offers 50% greater armor penetration over NATO standard 120mm, and nothing else. Meanwhile, countries with loads of money to spend will pick the 140mm gun with 70% improved penetration, and countries without money will pick the Ascalon 120mm gun that offers 40% improved penetration with new ammunition, lets them use up current stockpiles of 120mm ammo, and can be cheaply upgraded to the 140mm version later by simply swapping barrels and buying/making new ammo. I also think Poland has the right idea, ditching their mix of PT-91, Abrams, and Leopard 2 tanks (sending them all to Ukraine) in exchange for adopting an improved version of the K2 Black Panther tank with a lengthened hull (allowing them to use a more powerful engine and/or adopt an IFV version that allows them to carry half an infantry squad like the Merkava or the prototype T-84 IFV), plus the new Ascalon gun. An APS seems essential, adoption of the Ukrainian Nizh ERA is logical (more effective than conventional ERA and reduces the surface area of the armor each ERA panel protects, meaning multiple impacts have reduced effect), and the 30mm anti-drone turret and system is very logical. Imagine the K2 Black Panther, but some units having the super powerful 140mm gun, APS, and anti-drone system, and others with the 120mm gun to use up current ammo stockpiles and transporting infantry to support said tanks.
Isn't developing tanks for the Fulda gap scenario in 2024 is quite irrelevant? muh nuh tunk: nuw fish-fin stabee-laizeed discarding sa-boh raund ziwh advancid antitank ability to counter the Soviet horde* *which must materialise I guess directly from 1989? Or 1985?
you have no idea how easy it is to blind a tank , camera and no backup copula is a stupid idea syria has proven how accurate snipers can shoot and shatter copulas to blind the crew , then you can take down the blind tank easily . to relay on a camera only that can be shattered or even obscured by a little bit of dirt is insanely stupid. also i dont think 30 mm to take down drones is a good idea , the engine has to be working to power the thing ,the radar is expensive and very easy to damage ,and expensive to repair no doubt (expensive in downtime and manhours ), once a 5 cent bullet hits the radar ,you can easily lose your multi million dollar tank
the most notable parts for me is how complicated the turrets look, so many angles and edges (seemingly pointless), I wonder how this would effect mass production of these vehicles
I still like Rheinmetalls KF51-U concept more. 130mm is more than enough (you can carry much more ammo than 140mm) / unmanned turret / Rheinmetalls RMG7.62 machine-gun system + a optional NATTER in up to .50 BMG is pretty much ideal / the whole integrated system with the TAPS, ROSY-L and especially the HERO-120 LMS makes it just perfect while having overall less than 59t of weight.
Hey red, you should talk about the weird armored vehicles in Cuba and Mexico. These include: A BTR with a T55 turret, a BTR with AA cannons, a “””modernized””” M8 Greyhound in a training regiment, and a copy of a V100 Commando with an M8 75mm howitzer turret.
As I said before, I don’t see tanks being phased out anytime soon like battleships were faced out. Tanks still provide accurate firepower on ground zero where arty can’t fire for reasons. They provide frontier armour and can do most of the stuff it was designed for even today. All the tanks nowadays need to focus on getting anti drone systems in and we are good. I also want to say, I kinda feel tanks are heading the land battleships direction. Big gun, armour, anti air. Lol
Engineers are already scrambling to get solutions about that, for example the leclercs foŕwatd ammo drum has been replaced by ew systems, probably including anti drone jamming
@@leguman5289 You don't necessarily need to sacrifice quality for cheaper tanks. A lot can be done in the supply chain side which can make production cheaper.
This tank is an unmanned turret tank, with an anti air radar for drones, equipped with an artillery sized gun, and an autocannon. I dont know if that tank is gonna be produced in very large numbers
We already had some tank demonstators with all sort of radars, autocannons and other high tech in the past. All of them didn't go into production, because putting all that stuff on single vechicle makes it very expensive, hard to mantain and any loss of such vechicle would be more costly. It is just better to make a dedicated VSHORAD system to keep drones away from tanks, for example.
@@cybernetic_crocodile8462 I think Russia figured this out with their Pantsir platform. Weapons for dedicated roles fare much better than one expensive weapons platform that tries to do it all.
These are technology demonstrators, and not factually replacements for their existing MBTs. Eurosatory is a marketplace, not a motorpool. Think AbramsX.
That leclerc evo certainly wins the looks competition. Though it isn’t lost on me that it feels like everyone is just copying general dynamics at this point.
@@stupidburp more specifically I meant everyone is demo’ing tanks with 3 crew and an unmanned turret, with innovations designed to tackle the modern battlefield we are seeing unfold in Ukraine. Which general dynamics did a while ago with the abrams x. You could also credit the T-14 but I don’t know if that one counts.
Something I simply do not understand: UK/German/Fench military budget: $17.83, some coupons, a strawberry and lime hard candy, and an old piece of string. New Tank or IFV every 5 years. US Military budget: 800 billion dollars. No new tank or IFV in 44 years. Seriously, wtf? The upgrades to the Abrams aren't even big after the 120mm upgrade in 1985. No new gun or armor, just like newer sights and some ERA for the side skirts. Meanwhile, the Leopard 2 is on like its 9th version and has seen major updates. The Challenger 2 is NEWER than the Abrams and they are already getting the Challenger 3. WTH is the US doing with that money?
US keeps upgrading the Abrams. Also no new tank announced =/= no new tank released. Last I remembered a large part of the M1 was kept under lock and key until 1981

Kind of embarrassing to hear you talk about historical accuracy with respect to World of Tanks. I played it and the tank names is about all that is accurate.
The protection is mediocre and weight is not much below the lighter end of some main battle tanks with better capabilities such as Japan’s Type 10. It fits in the uncomfortable middle range along with most other light tanks and will likely have some serious disadvantages in battle. Better to go heavier with a stripped down MBT or lighter with an armored wheeled vehicle such as Stryker with a dual use direct and indirect fire weapon such as Patria NEMO 120mm gun mortar in a turret. These can be supported by SHORAD Stryker variants.
As a point of reference, when the PLA threatened India with light tanks moved up along the LAC, the Indian Army simply moved some main battle tanks up nearby. The PLA promptly pulled the light tanks back away because they were completely overmatched and easy to spot in a modern battlefield.
I 100% agree on the loitering ammunition housing issue, not to mention that in french military doctrine tanks are accompanied by light vehicles; which would be the one with loitering ammunition and other various AT means
The idea that AI will eliminate the need for a fourth crewman comes from someone who never tried to keep a 24 hour watch schedule, never tried to keep maintenance up and never washed the tank.
Will be interesting to see what Russia does to the T-14 Armata in response to these new mbts , recently saw them confirming they adopted the 152mm that we thought was cancelled.
Considering the last we saw of the T14 was it's inability to drive more than 500 meters before breaking down. The fact that the T-90 program was only able to be completed with the financial support of India and other partners ordering tanks before the design was completed and these partners not being interested in the T-14 and instead developing a model domestically(India & China) or ordering Chinese tanks in the future. I highly doubt Russia will have any significant number of T-14 before 2040

I just think Germany especially cant work with France because both doctrine are wildly differant and both seeks wildly differant thing, so yea it may not result in a finished product, but i'll provide the innovation for both country to make their own, Germany a tank that sells well, the French a work of art thats most likely marvelous to fight with but due to high price may just be to valuable to engage haha
3:10 "i like that it actually protected" and show much thinner turret that on t-14, which means it even less protected that Armata one. It is same as saying that tank can swim because you doesn't have information that it can't.

Everyone criticized the T-14 turret situation. Now everyone else is doing the same thing, smh. Edit: I meant that the crewmen were moved from a operated turret, to an unmanned turret.
Hungary joined the Kf51EVO development for future production IN HUNGARY. Always nice to keep your money in your own economy. And if there are export possibilities... Keep in mind, how short it took for Hungary from signing the Kf41 contract, build the factory and the first locally produced Lynx to roll out.
interestingly the ascalon 140mm cannon sounds a lot like the XM291 ATAC from the 1990's which was also a 140mm that could be changed into a 120mm with only minor modifications, I wonder if they also intend to add stuff like electronic ignition systems like those older cannons were theoretically capable off down the line, infact I wouldnt be suprised if they just flat out went "well we need to develop a 140mm cannon so lets use the XM 291 as a baseline and work out from there" afterall the two guns are very similar and it would make a lot of sense to work out from technology which had already been shown to work as it saves work and it means they can take note of what didnt work and improve on those features and ofc take what does work and improve it with more modern technology
@@stupidburp yeah... no the reason these companies are likely going for the 140mm is likely because there is pre existing research for them, and the 140 offers a significant improvement over the 120 while not having severe downsides outside of requiring new munitions to be procured, while the 120 is still adequate most of these guns designed to be transitioned into a 140 are designed with the idea that while a 140 might not be needed now, there is a good likely hood that they might be needed in the future and when that time comes these systems allow for quick and easy conversion, meanwhile a 155 while possible would require a lot of development and research which these companies don't want to spend for likely only marginal improvements over the 140 they have now also a dual use artillery and tank cannon would be a terrible idea for a lot of reasons not the least bit being that artillery and tank guns have wildly different requirements so you'd be left with a gun not able to do either job very well at which point the gun is kind of useless, there is a reason why we can use auto cannons for both anti ground and anti air roles and its because those weapons lend themselves decently to either role, not so much artillery and tank guns.
The current Leclerc already uses electronic ignition. 140mm guns are nice beacuse in addition to the extra punch, they can fire atgm with a decent warhead, or smart shells.
@@foxzz1999 so I only just realizing my mistake as I was talking about electro-chemical ignition and not Electronic ignition as that has been a thing on a lot of large weapons for a long while now even tanks like the ww2 panther had that, my bad if it caused confusion
To be honest this tank is an example of "look guys we care about NATO and our military so we designed a new tank that will enter service in next 15 years so you can shut up that we don't invest much in military" kinda thing.
Old news now that most of the countries actually do invest far more in their military. Turns out a military threat changed spending priorities. Also I guess why now instead of just one future tank, their actually also making interim tanks that complete more quickly.
NATO is a scam for the European countries so they will do anything to fulfill the quota and get on with their lives. Also 15 years isn't even that long. Also also this new tank is basically a western Armata which is funny to me.
most of the "upgarde" kit just looks like cheap plastic addon to look cool, and since its only for showing and not using and producing its highly likely the case
so you need to rotate the entire turret to use the fancy 30mm airburst thing against drones, that are very often used from behind I hope that thing has a REAL FAST traverse
When the crew numbers 20+, when the commander has his brain/central nervous system directly hooked up to the tank's computer - and when each wheel well is housing a platoon of -imperial guardsmen- grenadiers to clear out enemy infantry trying to sneak up in the blind angles - that's when these kinds of reveals becomes truly interesting.
Less than current turrets because they will have much less armor because they don’t need to protect crew. The chunkyness also comes from rubber and simply empty air space between metal armor walls. So they are not as heavy as they look like.
"AI will lift the burden of the crew, and replace the 4th crew member." Uhuh...can't wait til I see AI help change trackpads or hump ammo and water or take watch shift and change oil, and then clean the tank and apply camo.
I have literally been saying "Drones won't be a issue for tanks because of air burst auto cannons" for almost five years now and wow would you look at that, it's exactly what happened, literally just put a 30mn on a tank with air burst and good sensors and drones aren't a issue. It's so obvious but so many people seem to have completely ignored it
there is a difference between knowing the solution and having it, Ukraine shows us the difference since basically none of the tankd have remote weapons stations
@@nicolaspeigne1429 yes, because it's a poor eastern european country fighting off the largest artillery army in the world, with a fraction of the resources given to them to fight, let alone come up with actual solutions, while germany and france are so wealthy, that they can bankroll poor countries out of poverty, when it suits them.
More likely it is to give it light armor for protection against fragmentation damage to the barrel or cooling. (They most certainly will have active cooling for signature reduction)

Ascalon was the weapon used by Saint George to kill the dragon. It is usually shown as a spear but can transform into a sword. The French definitely tried too hard to get an acronym to spell this out (Autoloaded and SCALable Outperforming guN).

In Germany the gun maker is Rheinemetal and they produce a 130 mm with traditional ammo for their KF51 Panther.
The Rheinmetal gun is just a bigger sized traditional gun whereas Ascalon is a technological breakup.
@@D8141the important aspect of the ASCALON is that it uses the same breach for both.

Hello red effect, I was at Eurosatory and got to speak with ppl at KNDS, I won't list everything here but just one thing about the new Leclerc, I genuinely think it's the most impressive bc unlike what you said at the end "all of these are tech demonstrators" that's the case for all the tanks yes, but the Leclerc evo isn't, it's been told to me that this is ready to go and the whole point of it was to make a tank with all CURRENT available technology plus the new gun, and therefore that's what you have, and it's genuinely ready for production. Whereas the Leo ARC is kinda unproven concept area and they're more so trying to do what rheinmetal is also doing altho yeah it's still in a good development phase, and well the embt is just not feasible for now and as you rightly said it's for 2040
Did they mention anything about India buying it, I know they showed interest in the Leclerc a few years ago when the T-14 flopped. I figured part of the reason for evolution was export to India
@@wifi_soldier5076 I'm not sure we can export tanks, we don"t produce the chassis and the engine anymore, so we just improve the tanks we already have...

i need it so bad, it looks soooo goooood
One thing you did miss about the Leopard 2A-RC 3.0 (stupid name) is that they designed a double trunnion system for the gun, allowing it to pivot at two separate points. Which should allow for a wider degree of elevation and depression.
But honestly it is a novelty that I don't think any customer would like to pay for, since it is an added complexity without any quick hard benefits like more armour, more penetration, or more speed do.
The name it's because its a demonstrator. It could be a step to the Leopard X or Leopard 2A9
That depends on how far the double trunion extends the arc of the gun. If it extends it up to 60° for example the tank can straight up turn into a makeshift howitzer. That's certainly going to be handy, and will be a capability worth exploring.
Thank you - great info👍 …wasn’t there a naval gun in WW2 that tried this?
It’s not always about armor speed or firepower..
I think it's sad that the tank is in purpose made extra depressed. Tanks a lot life...

The KF-51U and A-RC 3.0 are the coolest IMHO. I personally like the missile launcher on the A-RC, and I like the aesthetics of it. The same goes for the KF-51U, but the fact that it has Iron Fist, StrikeShield, MUSS 2.0, _and_ a self-contained anti-drone CIWS makes it the cream of the crop for protection. It should be noted that the RMG 7.62 it uses is not a rotary machine gun, but rather has three single barrels which can be rotated in as one heats up. It only ever uses one at any given time, but the fact that it has three allows it to have a much higher single-barrel ROF than other machine guns.Combined with the radar and the other electronics in that RCWS, it can operate completely independent of the crew, detecting and engaging targets all on its own.
That 30mm remote turret looks like a must to retro fit where possible not just for drones bt infantry aswell
30 mm really isn't that good of idea. Main reason - lack of radar on tank itself. And even if tank crew will detect drone with their eyes they probably still couldn't destroy it because you can simly send a few lancets from different directions and it's pretty much cooked

Not really. He talks about "shot traps" and "exposed elements" on these vehicles like it's a video game. Let me assure you that when your vehicle takes a direct hit from anything, things will break regardless and you will have to return to base for repairs.
@HolyNorthAmericanEmpire you know shot traps are dangerous like with the panther from ww2 it suffered heavy losses due to its shot trap (ricocheting is a thing not just in games) and exposed places could be weak spot for drone (as u see with the russo ukraine war)
Yes stuff will break but those are the risks of war you take stuff in and you might not return with it
@@ghostpost. Modern APFSDS doesn't ricochet, when the dart doesn't go through it simply shatters. It's not WW2 anymore. And if the Russo-Ukrainian war shows one thing, than that such complains don't matter, because as soon as an explosive is dropped on the tank it's a mission kill either way, because things like the optics etc. get damaged. And you cannot armor these elements enough to be invincible, so don't bother at all. The T-14, Leopard 2 ARC 3.0 and EMBT ADT-140 are doing it right.
@HolyNorthAmericanEmpire apfsds most certainly can ricochet but like you said it will just shatter/split
I mentioned the panther as its a famous example of the dangers of shot traps
Yes but like I said you should expect these things to get destroyed and/or damaged
Tbf they're newer and are more adapted to modern age combat
What strikes me on a lot of these new propose tanks, is the lack of coaxial MG.
Im not a tanker, but I have heard actual tankers mention that the coaxial MG is almost more important than the main tank gun. Having machine guns only present as remote weapon stations on the turret roof heavily reduces their ammo capcity and makes it much harder to reload.
@nucleus691 does not necessarily reduce armor capacity depending on how you store it.
However it already has been said that they can also ad a coax mg
they all have a coax. The new embt got a 20 mm coaxial cannon , while the leclerc evo still use a 50 call as a coax like all leclerc.
What makes you think they don't have a coaxial, lol?
@@olisk-jy9rz I just didnt see it on the first EMBT and the 2nd one just doesnt have one. Leopard 2ARC doesnt have a coaxial MG either.
@@nucleus691 the 2ARC does not, indeed, have a coax but i wouldn't worry about it since it's just a prototype. Go to 5.40 and look to the right of the gun (your right). You should be able to see the mg.
With the Ascalon 120/140, I think the Rheinmetall 130mm gun is dead on arrival. It offers 50% greater armor penetration over NATO standard 120mm, and nothing else. Meanwhile, countries with loads of money to spend will pick the 140mm gun with 70% improved penetration, and countries without money will pick the Ascalon 120mm gun that offers 40% improved penetration with new ammunition, lets them use up current stockpiles of 120mm ammo, and can be cheaply upgraded to the 140mm version later by simply swapping barrels and buying/making new ammo.
I also think Poland has the right idea, ditching their mix of PT-91, Abrams, and Leopard 2 tanks (sending them all to Ukraine) in exchange for adopting an improved version of the K2 Black Panther tank with a lengthened hull (allowing them to use a more powerful engine and/or adopt an IFV version that allows them to carry half an infantry squad like the Merkava or the prototype T-84 IFV), plus the new Ascalon gun. An APS seems essential, adoption of the Ukrainian Nizh ERA is logical (more effective than conventional ERA and reduces the surface area of the armor each ERA panel protects, meaning multiple impacts have reduced effect), and the 30mm anti-drone turret and system is very logical. Imagine the K2 Black Panther, but some units having the super powerful 140mm gun, APS, and anti-drone system, and others with the 120mm gun to use up current ammo stockpiles and transporting infantry to support said tanks.

you have no idea how easy it is to blind a tank , camera and no backup copula is a stupid idea
syria has proven how accurate snipers can shoot and shatter copulas to blind the crew , then you can take down the blind tank easily .
to relay on a camera only that can be shattered or even obscured by a little bit of dirt is insanely stupid.
also i dont think 30 mm to take down drones is a good idea , the engine has to be working to power the thing ,the radar is expensive and very easy to damage ,and expensive to repair no doubt (expensive in downtime and manhours ), once a 5 cent bullet hits the radar ,you can easily lose your multi million dollar tank
the most notable parts for me is how complicated the turrets look, so many angles and edges (seemingly pointless), I wonder how this would effect mass production of these vehicles
I still like Rheinmetalls KF51-U concept more. 130mm is more than enough (you can carry much more ammo than 140mm) / unmanned turret / Rheinmetalls RMG7.62 machine-gun system + a optional NATTER in up to .50 BMG is pretty much ideal / the whole integrated system with the TAPS, ROSY-L and especially the HERO-120 LMS makes it just perfect while having overall less than 59t of weight.

They provide frontier armour and can do most of the stuff it was designed for even today. All the tanks nowadays need to focus on getting anti drone systems in and we are good.

Please also cover Zorawar light tank of india if possible 😅
very little to no viable information on it. and even if it where, its probably a similar tank in capability to the TAM from Argentina.
The protection is mediocre and weight is not much below the lighter end of some main battle tanks with better capabilities such as Japan’s Type 10. It fits in the uncomfortable middle range along with most other light tanks and will likely have some serious disadvantages in battle. Better to go heavier with a stripped down MBT or lighter with an armored wheeled vehicle such as Stryker with a dual use direct and indirect fire weapon such as Patria NEMO 120mm gun mortar in a turret. These can be supported by SHORAD Stryker variants.
As a point of reference, when the PLA threatened India with light tanks moved up along the LAC, the Indian Army simply moved some main battle tanks up nearby. The PLA promptly pulled the light tanks back away because they were completely overmatched and easy to spot in a modern battlefield.
I 100% agree on the loitering ammunition housing issue, not to mention that in french military doctrine tanks are accompanied by light vehicles; which would be the one with loitering ammunition and other various AT means

@@nox5555you can, you only need to satisfy what the french want, because they aint about to make something that doesnt suit their need, its understandable, the whole point of collaboration is to find a compromise that suits both need, but when it comes to more specialised high tech stuff, the need for specialty may take precedence.
I just think Germany especially cant work with France because both doctrine are wildly differant and both seeks wildly differant thing, so yea it may not result in a finished product, but i'll provide the innovation for both country to make their own, Germany a tank that sells well, the French a work of art thats most likely marvelous to fight with but due to high price may just be to valuable to engage haha
Do they have the materials and energy to construct more than 5 a year and 100 rounds of ammunition a year for them
All cool and all but in time of "Oh bugger, the tank is on fire", how fast can the crew bail out from it?
2:44 that derpy grin.
3:10 "i like that it actually protected" and show much thinner turret that on t-14, which means it even less protected that Armata one.
It is same as saying that tank can swim because you doesn't have information that it can't.
Modular armour means its more protected most likely
And since both are unmanned turrets and both have APS the level of protection isnt an issue.
Where does it show thinner turret than t14?
It reminds me of the Russian multi-turreted tanks of the interwar years
Problem with external launchers for ATGM is safety of the reload.
My first thought on seeing the thumbnail was ‘dang, that kinda looks like the T-14.’ 😳🫣😬
From 10 miles away and squinting, maybe.
disagree with you one 11:40 you said having one looking port is better which i don't think is true having separate ports are better in the case of one of them being hit there still vision in the tank
>Zero mobility kill protection
>Zero drone swarm protection, only 2 charges of APS on the turret
>Expensive high-tech mumbo jumbo that bankrupts small city at a minor breakdown
>MUH GUN, but the current reality is that tank on tank combat is non-existant and you risk a lot by running HE ammo rack in combat
>Obvious production bottlenecks
>NATO will "standartize" frenchies as much as possible so most of its features will go poof in actual production line
Bruh. Just make new chassis already. Putting mega-turret on shitty leo hull wont make tank any better.
zero dron swarm protection - 🤣 🤣 litt buddy cant read
obvious production bottlenecks - they didnt even start production but hey you anonym know it all knows it better 😂
muh gun, tank on tank combat is none existent 🤣 - YEA i wonder why that is maybe because nato doesnt fight any conventional army and ukraine has no fighter planes to actually start an offensive
tell me how would that new chassis look like, what new revolutionary features woudl it have mr. tank desginer? 🤣

All of your info are wrong
- The ARX 30mm Airburst HMG, is the protecting the tank from drones since it has 360 radars
- the APS is called Trophy APS this is probably an improved APS with 3-4 Charges Both sides with 360 protection against ATGMs and RPGs
- Sides are very well protected with ERA and MODULAR ARMOR Protecting against RPGs and ATGMs
- The Gun is 120mm better penetration
- The armor are great especially the frontal hull with modular and passive armor.

I am curious about the production cost for those tanks aswell as them being vulnerable to electronic warfare like jammers.
They are most likely electronically hardened.
Electronic jamming only really works for wireless stuff. Unless a EMP is used the wires will still be able to transmit information.
@@BlackWolf9988 you really think they didn t think about that ?
Everyone criticized the T-14 turret situation. Now everyone else is doing the same thing, smh.
Edit: I meant that the crewmen were moved from a operated turret, to an unmanned turret.

I don't think i've seen many people complain about the turret. More about its engine and its lack of production effort.

Hungary joined the Kf51EVO development for future production IN HUNGARY. Always nice to keep your money in your own economy. And if there are export possibilities...
Keep in mind, how short it took for Hungary from signing the Kf41 contract, build the factory and the first locally produced Lynx to roll out.
I value redeffect's no nonsense objective analysis of tanks. Would he review zorawar?
interestingly the ascalon 140mm cannon sounds a lot like the XM291 ATAC from the 1990's which was also a 140mm that could be changed into a 120mm with only minor modifications, I wonder if they also intend to add stuff like electronic ignition systems like those older cannons were theoretically capable off down the line, infact I wouldnt be suprised if they just flat out went "well we need to develop a 140mm cannon so lets use the XM 291 as a baseline and work out from there" afterall the two guns are very similar and it would make a lot of sense to work out from technology which had already been shown to work as it saves work and it means they can take note of what didnt work and improve on those features and ofc take what does work and improve it with more modern technology
I think that 120mm is still enough for now and if going up should go all the way to 155mm in a dual use artillery piece and tank destroyer.
@@stupidburp yeah... no
the reason these companies are likely going for the 140mm is likely because there is pre existing research for them, and the 140 offers a significant improvement over the 120 while not having severe downsides outside of requiring new munitions to be procured, while the 120 is still adequate most of these guns designed to be transitioned into a 140 are designed with the idea that while a 140 might not be needed now, there is a good likely hood that they might be needed in the future and when that time comes these systems allow for quick and easy conversion, meanwhile a 155 while possible would require a lot of development and research which these companies don't want to spend for likely only marginal improvements over the 140 they have now
also a dual use artillery and tank cannon would be a terrible idea for a lot of reasons not the least bit being that artillery and tank guns have wildly different requirements so you'd be left with a gun not able to do either job very well at which point the gun is kind of useless, there is a reason why we can use auto cannons for both anti ground and anti air roles and its because those weapons lend themselves decently to either role, not so much artillery and tank guns.
The current Leclerc already uses electronic ignition. 140mm guns are nice beacuse in addition to the extra punch, they can fire atgm with a decent warhead, or smart shells.
@@foxzz1999 so I only just realizing my mistake as I was talking about electro-chemical ignition and not Electronic ignition as that has been a thing on a lot of large weapons for a long while now even tanks like the ww2 panther had that, my bad if it caused confusion
To be honest this tank is an example of "look guys we care about NATO and our military so we designed a new tank that will enter service in next 15 years so you can shut up that we don't invest much in military" kinda thing.
Old news now that most of the countries actually do invest far more in their military. Turns out a military threat changed spending priorities. Also I guess why now instead of just one future tank, their actually also making interim tanks that complete more quickly.
Bro you just described t-14 armata for Russia
NATO is a scam for the European countries so they will do anything to fulfill the quota and get on with their lives.
Also 15 years isn't even that long.
Also also this new tank is basically a western Armata which is funny to me.
most of the "upgarde" kit just looks like cheap plastic addon to look cool, and since its only for showing and not using and producing its highly likely the case
so you need to rotate the entire turret to use the fancy 30mm airburst thing against drones, that are very often used from behind
I hope that thing has a REAL FAST traverse
"so you need to rotate the entire turret to use the fancy 30mm airburst thing against drones" - HAHAHAAAHHAA
When the crew numbers 20+, when the commander has his brain/central nervous system directly hooked up to the tank's computer - and when each wheel well is housing a platoon of -imperial guardsmen- grenadiers to clear out enemy infantry trying to sneak up in the blind angles - that's when these kinds of reveals becomes truly interesting.
incredibly chonky turrets. Wondering what are their weights
Yeah, weight...... weight is the little detail left out from ALL those tanks presentations. Which means it's absolutely in the "ISSUE" range
bnwo
@@olisk-jy9rz It wasn't left out at least for the Leclerc, it's between 58 and 60 tons
Less than current turrets because they will have much less armor because they don’t need to protect crew.
The chunkyness also comes from rubber and simply empty air space between metal armor walls. So they are not as heavy as they look like.
Warthunder players: finally new information to leak.

"AI will lift the burden of the crew, and replace the 4th crew member."
Uhuh...can't wait til I see AI help change trackpads or hump ammo and water or take watch shift and change oil, and then clean the tank and apply camo.
I have literally been saying "Drones won't be a issue for tanks because of air burst auto cannons" for almost five years now and wow would you look at that, it's exactly what happened, literally just put a 30mn on a tank with air burst and good sensors and drones aren't a issue. It's so obvious but so many people seem to have completely ignored it
I've been saying so too
there is a difference between knowing the solution and having it, Ukraine shows us the difference since basically none of the tankd have remote weapons stations
@@nicolaspeigne1429 yes, because it's a poor eastern european country fighting off the largest artillery army in the world, with a fraction of the resources given to them to fight, let alone come up with actual solutions, while germany and france are so wealthy, that they can bankroll poor countries out of poverty, when it suits them.

The new tanks from the blue side are excellent. BlueEffect.
The fact they are making the barrel look "stealthy' is beyond CRINGE..
More likely it is to give it light armor for protection against fragmentation damage to the barrel or cooling.
(They most certainly will have active cooling for signature reduction)
Did they mention that the barrel was supposed to be stealthy?
The barrel cover might actually be for infrared-signature reduction.
a new "game changer"
RedEffect did mention proxy ammo and an AA like radar to shoot down drones.
