It may come as a surprise to think that the British (BAE specifically), would consider upgrading the Hind. However, Western upgrades to the Hind are relatively common, with the French company SAGEM and Israel’s Elbit offering upgrades, and South Africa’s ATE offering the significantly modified...
Thought we could start a thread on this project by the finns to replace the BMP-1 in the late 90s and early 2000s, known as the TA2000 (Taisteluajoneuvo 2000, "Combat Vehicle 2000"). They produced some prototypes on different chassis, mainly fitted with Delco-25 (Bushmaster I) or Delco-30...

Hello all. Today I was doing some research into the AGS's LRLAP shells, trying to confirm a hunch I have that the original unit price was drastically lower than the stated $800,000-$1,000,000. I sort of confirmed that, as well as finding information saying the AGS was supposed to fire other...
