12Alfa Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) RBSL Spotted in Netherlands Challenger 2 LEP proposal. This has a brand new turret with the L/55 120mm smoothbore gun. Although externally the new turret looks similar to Challenger 2’s existing one, Rheinmetall has taken an existing Leopard 2 turret and comprehensively re-engineered it. Ammunition storage is in an enlarged turret bustle and below the turret ring in sealed compartments. Rheinmetall plans to use the same sensors, fire control system and BMC4I solution as Ajax.

Gibsonm Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Do they need more than one? I thought the RAC was now time sharing vehicles between the Regts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj.Hans Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Sealed compartments in the hull? With blow off panels or without blow off panels? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 2, 2019 Members Share Posted October 2, 2019 If panels were to blow-out, the compartments would no longer be sealed, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they would be "sealed" at least until the panels blew off. In context, "sealed" might merely mean that they are not left open to the atmosphere inside the tank as with the Leopard 2 racks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
