Citat:As previsly said in other tweets (below), the C1 Ariete AMV, with the increase of powerplant power, new tracks etc, will be able to carry both addon armored package, the PSO (Peace Support Operation) and WAR (symmetrical warfare with MBTs), plus anti mine blast plate on the hull.
Citat:
"Prototipo 2" of Ariete shows also the upgraded FCS/optics compartments, with the same currently used on Centauro 2 MGS (most advanced tank destroyer in the world). From this pic is visible: LOTHAR SD for gunner, Attila D (multispectrals) for commander, and camera for the driver.
Citat:Also, third prototype (the final) of the program, will be a junction of PT1 and PT2 with a complete integration of upgraded engine (MTCA AMV 1500hp), new tracks, transmission, armor packages, new electronics and optronics. Now Ariete will a mature western standard MBT. I'm happy.
Citat:Besides, AMV program foresees new turret electrical drive interlocking, new smoke grenades, a new LWR (with capacity of 100 milliseconds of reaction time), the Leonardo RALM-02V2.
