and a digitalized fire control system. Concerning the chassis, the boxer is one of the most modern 8x8 armoured vehicles currently available
1:37
It includes two main elements, the platform module and the removable mission model
1:43
The unique feature of the boxer is its ability to change rapidly
1:47
The mission model mounted at the rear of the platform module to meet different operational requirements
1:52
Mission models are attached by four points that can be swapped within an hour under field conditions
1:58
Thanks to its modular design, the boxer can be fitted with different types of weapon systems
2:03
including man and unmanned turret, and with a medium caliber up to 40mm that can be used as an infantry fighting vehicle
2:10
or with a large caliber cannon up to 120mm caliber to provide fire support

2:26
a variant of the South Korean K2 Black Panther that has been tailored for the Polish Army requirements
2:34
In January 2020, the Korea Times announced that Hyundai Rotem could sign a deal with the Polish government to develop and produce 800 K2 Black Panther main battle tanks

3:14
missiles, but not high-velocity, high explosive or kinetic energy tank-fired munitions. The K2PL
3:21
is powered by 1,500 horsepower diesel engine coupled to an automatic transmission with 5 forward and 3
3:27
reverse gears. The suspension of the K2PL consists of seven road wheels instead of six on the original
3:34
K2. The tank can reach 70 kilometers an hour with a maximum cruising range of 450 kilometers
3:40
The Russian tornado S multiple launch rocket system can now fire a long-arranged missile 120
3:47
kilometer, also benefiting from high precision. Flight parameters are preset to guide each missile
3:54
to the target while in flight. An ordinary MLRF, Guides the package of missiles to one point
4:01
They fly in one direction and cover the targeted space. The new missiles can hit a group of targets at a major distance from each other by one salvo
4:11
Ordinary projectiles can destroy one, two targets at the area around them
4:17
The new missiles have an extended elliptical destruction zone, so a salvo of one upgraded launcher can fulfill the mission previously entrusted to an MLRS battle
4:27
with unguided projectiles. The new MRS has glown as satellite communications and
4:33
traumatic guidance and fire control system. The system can receive and process information from reconnaissance vehicles or drones
4:40
The tornado S has to replace the BM30 SMERC in the artillery formations
4:46
This week, Navy recognition has noticed a particular interest on its website from its followers
4:50
for the following valuable topics. First, the Belgian Minister of Defence visited the diving school in Zébreuze, Naval Base
4:56
Bruges Naval Base. Second British HMS Queen Elizabeth is heading four carrier strike Groupex training with Marine F-35
5:05
And last but not least, Russian industry Kalashnikov introduced his new hovercraft, H-K-PEN

5:22
diving specialties such as engineers, navy divers, special forces and search and rescue divers

After that the minister attended a demonstration of divers training in the hyperbaric wet pots
5:36
As well as an introduction to dive-baric wet pots. As well as an introduction to dive

UK's new carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth has departed Portsmouth, England, for a short cruise
7:27
had training drills with US Marine Corps F-35B Lightning 2, Joint Strike Fighters
7:33
The Wake Island Avengers of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211 flew to the United Kingdom last week
7:39

7:44
10 F-35Bs flew to the UK to partake in the group exercise
7:48
also known as Group X, for several weeks aboard the British aircraft carrier
7:53
Group X will establish selective interoperability to address gaps and mitigate risks
7:58
within the US and UK's respective individual forces. Kalashnikov has recently developed
8:04
the Hachat-10 transport hovercraft. The main purpose of the vessel is to transport cargo
8:09
and passengers at sea and in areas with shallow water and is not spitable coast
8:15
The project is described as an economic universal transport vessel for military and civilian use
8:20
It is clear that the demand for it can be not only in the civilian markets but also by Russian
8:25
power structures. The vessel will be able to take on board up to 10 tons of various cargo and can easily
8:32
accommodate a three-axil kama truck. The ovocraft is powered by two Russian engines, each producing a maximum out-eastern
8:39
outputs of 800 horsepower. Such a propulsion system would be sufficient to provide the vessel with a maximum cruising speed of 40 knots
8:47
The ship's crew will consist of three people. The declared autonomy is three days
8:52
Three topics have retained a particular attention from our visitors on air recognition.com these last days
8:58
The US will dismantle hundreds of AH attack helicopters The Polish Air Force will operate 32 F fighters And last but not least Austria will enter negotiations with Indonesia for the sale of 15 Eurofighters
9:16
According to the US State Department, hundreds of aging AH64D Apache attack helicopters will
9:22
be withdrawn from US Army's arsenal. The US will try to follow a plan that allows up to seven
9:28
helicopters to be dismantled per month, which will provide years of work
9:32
for the company that will win the tender to dismantle these obsolete helicopters
9:37
According to a circulated document from the US State Department, work on the repair and dismantling of these helicopters is expected to begin in early 2022
9:47
and be completed within five years. The possibility of small repairs on specific components of the machines is not excluded
9:55
which would increase the life cycle of these components and their use as spare parts
10:00
Poland concluded its fighter acquisition program with the signing of a letter of offer and acceptance between the US and Polish governments
10:08
for 32 F-35A conventional take-off and lending variant jets, with initial deliveries beginning in 2004 and in country deliveries in 2006
10:20
With the Polish government selection of the F-35A, Poland becomes the 14th nation and the 10th NATO country to join the F-35 program of record
10:30
The selection building of Lockheed Martin Strong, proven track record in Poland, is a testament to the nation's confidence in the F-35 to meet its national security decades to come
10:43
Indonesia has expressed interest in acquiring Osrest fleet of Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets
10:49
in yet another surprise defense procurement plan from the Southeast Asian country
10:54
The Eurofighter is a rather questionable fit for the Indonesian Air Force
10:58
as the aircraft would require different infrastructure compared to the F-16s, SU-27s and SU-30s, currently in service
11:08
Two options are available for the sale to proceed. First, the Eurofighter Consortium will have to issue an hand-user certificate to Indonesia and Austria
11:19
will sell the jets directly to Indonesia. Alternatively, Airbus will buy back the planes, upgrade them and sell them to the Southeast Asian
11:28
nation instead. Well keep in mind that defense web TV has more than 1,500 videos on
