At IDEF 2019, the defense exhibition in Istanbul, Turkey, FNSS showcases for the first time, its KAPLAN MT, a medium-weight class tank developed jointly by FNSS and the Indonesian company PT Pindad, equipped with ASELSAN’s PULAT Active Protection System designed to protect combat vehicles against anti-tank guided missile.

In today’s modern battlefield, the types of threats against tanks are increasing with each passing day. Particularly in urban combat operations, the use of active protection systems is becoming a necessity due to the diversification of weapons used and application of new tactics. Enjoying the highest level of anti-mine and ballistic protection of its class, KAPLAN MT is getting ready against this kind of emerging threats with PULAT.

PULAT system was developed jointly by ASELSAN and TÜBİTAK SAGE, initially as a solution preferred by the Turkish Armed Forces for M60T tanks. PULAT consists of modules that contain the detection radar for sensing threats and the countermeasure projectile. The modules are placed around the vehicle in a way that ensures all-round protection. The power distribution unit and control panel are located inside the tank. When the system becomes activated, it functions autonomously without the need for user input. During data collection and system performance tests, PULAT was fired hundreds of times, and completed all of the tests successfully.

Emphasising KAPLAN MT’s ability to adapt and expand, K. Nail Kurt, General Manager and CEO of FNSS, said: “For a land platform to stay up-to-date during its entire life cycle, it is necessary to integrate various new sub-systems over time. As we have competed so many modernisation and overhaul projects, we know very well how these integrations can be challenging. Like in all of our vehicles, we have developed KAPLAN MT in a way that is open for future modernisation and overhaul.

The integration of PULAT Active Protection System has become the first concrete example of this perspective, and I can say with great pleasure that we have had a quite straightforward and successful integration process. With PULAT, KAPLAN MT has taken its survivability to even a higher level”.

Oli yllätys itselleni, että jenkkien M132 Zippo liekinheitinvaunun ampumaetäisyys on 200m. Mielestäni se on jo kohtuullinen etäisyys käristää vihollisia :unsure: Kun mielikuva on, että ehkä muutamia kymmeniä metrejä kantaisi tuollainen.


Videolla sanotaan 175, mutta Wikipediassa sanotaan 200.. No ilkeän paljon kuitenkin josset ole panssarivaunun sisällä :D

Vaunuja oli käsittääkseni noin 110-115 ja Suomi osti niistä vain sata. Jotain piti jäädä vanhastakin satsista. Ehkä ne myytiin valmistajalle ja ostetaan kohta kovalla hinnalla takaisin? :D

Minäkin muistelin että heillä olisi ollut komppania, kaksi osana Saksan maavoimia.

Wiki kertoo tällaista:

    Netherlands: The Royal Netherlands Army operated 445 Leopard 2s. 330 of these were updated to 2A5 standard in 1993, and later, 188 of these were converted to 2A6 standard. Many Leopard 2s were sold after the end of the Cold War. On 8 April 2011, the Dutch Ministry of Defence announced that the last remaining tank division would be disbanded and the remaining Leopard tanks sold due to large budget cuts.[175] On 18 May 2011, the last tank fired the final shot at the Bergen-Hohne Training Area. They were due to be delivered to the Indonesian Army, which planned to purchase the entire Dutch stock of Leopard 2A6s.[176] However, the deal was scrapped after opposition from the Dutch Parliament.[177] The Dutch Army offered its formerly operated Leopard 2A6s for comparative tests to be conducted by the Peruvian Army for possible acquisition.[178] By September 2013, the Leopard 2A6 had been disqualified by Peru due to logistical complexities.[179] The Leopard 2s were eventually sold to Finland in a deal signed in January 2014 for €200 million with deliveries to start from 2015 to 2019.[180] On 15 September 2015, the Dutch government published that the army would have 16 tanks put out of storage and 18 were to be leased from Germany for a new tank squadron by 2016 as part of a German armoured battalion. One Leopard 2 tank is exhibited at the military museum.[181]

Mitähän tuo englanninkielinen lause "the army would have 16 tanks put out of storage" oikein tarkoittaa. "Put out of storage" = poistaa varastoista ja stenaa?
