Hey, how are you? It's nearly Christmas. I've decided to collect images of unusual armoured fighting vehicle modifications in this thread and say what I think about them. Exciting, right?
I've written a piece in the looking at Latvia's recent selection of the @GDELS_Official ASCOD platform for its IFV requirements. calibredefence.co.uk/latvia-selects… It's worth noting this is just one of many procurements - Latvia will spend 3.45% of its GDP on defence next year, a lot of it…
Russia is increasing its output of key aircraft and expanding its production facilities, most recently with a delivery of Su-57s. But there are signs of friction within the Russian defence industry, you can read more here: calibredefence.co.uk/rostec-announc… #defencenews #Su57
Have you seen the latest announcement from @BAESystemsplc on the new factory in Sheffield? I've written a short piece on it here calibredefence.co.uk/bae-restart-m7… if you'd like to know more! Thanks. #defencenews
This is interesting. Could be useful for firing on targets the tank can't see. I guess that in the VT4, this means one of the two turret crew are focused on the drone rather than their other optics?

Happy Thursday! I sat down this morning to write about the @kongsbergasa announcement on its Naval Strike Missile and I’m happy to share it with you. If you do read it - and you like it - please do consider sharing the article! Thank you. #defence #USNavy calibredefence.co.uk/kongsberg-land…
I finally got around to writing on the @group_patria TREMOS mortar, which was unveiled at the Future Mortar Conference back in October. If you can spare the time read my article here, I'd like to know what you think. Thanks! calibredefence.co.uk/finland-signs-… #defencenews #mortar
This is a good thread on what losses in Ukraine mean? and its worth your time to scroll through and digest.
Quick reaction on the losses talk: I would say that taken in isolation or only relative to terrain gains, losses data are not that telling. We need to correlate them with their end goals, their sustainability regarding recruitment &industrial output, & the state of the Ukr forces
The Russian Lesochek/Лесочек #electronicwarfare system has been upgraded. @arm_magazine details the equipment's new capabilities, and how it supports Russian land forces operations. armadainternational.com/2024/10/lesoch… @AOCrows @RUSI_org @IISS_org @warstudies #Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar️️
This appears to be an airborne AFV in service with the PLA carrying an active protection system. Note it only seems to be on the closest vehicle and also seems to need some modification to the hull. It’s a pedestal system, which means that detection range and interception speed…
@BAESystemsInc has won a contract with the Netherlands and Belgium to provide 8 of its 40 Mk 4 naval gun systems for the four frigates the two countries are building. The first gun will be delivered in 2026. The 40 mm cannons draw on the legacy Bofors 40 mm cannon, and will be…
