The addition of the new Abrams is a part of the 1st Cavalry Division's and U.S. Army's ongoing modernization efforts and generates a tremendous amount of combat power for the most lethal and agile armored force in the world.
Turkish military industry to have showed their newest armored vehicles, MBT and SPG.
Yesterday the turkish high rank officials visited the BMC facilities. During the visit compani presented the nevest and upgraded armored vehicles.

Altay MBT
Upgraded Leopard-2,It's equipped with Altay MBT FCS and fitted with indigenous APS and LWS.
Some more pictures of Chinese new 155mm SPH. A different chassis with seven road wheels on each side. Different turret geometry from the PLZ-05.
Previously we reported about this SPH New Chinese 155mm SPH
Pictures show a destroyed TPLF's (Tigray People's Liberation Front) PHL-03 (Chinese clone of the BM-30 Smerch MLRS) and reloading vehicle somewhere in Tekeze area, Central Tigray (Via "Ethiopia Map")
The TPLF used this to fire rocket artillery at air bases in Bahir Dar and Asmara. It was likely destroyed by a drone strike.
The TPLF obviously acquired this after a huge chunk of the Northern Command defected. This is a very sophisticated weapon with guided rockets which only professionally trained soldiers can operate.
As we reported previously, Ethiopia got the Chinese AR2 300mm MRL.

The sixth-generation jet — planned by the U.K., Sweden and Italy and set to enter service after 2030 — will bristle with new technology, from its weaponry and propulsion to a virtual cockpit projected inside the pilot’s helmet.
But the group set the bar high in October by announcing the fighter’s radar would process a quantity of data equivalent to nine hours of high-definition video — or the internet traffic of a medium-sized city — every second.
Few details were given to back up the claim, but now U.K.-based engineers with Italian firm Leonardo, who are working on the radar, have shared clues with Defense News.
Boosting performance will mean rethinking today’s electronically scanned radars, which have grids of small Transmit Receive Modules, or TRM, on the antenna, each generating an individual radar beam which can follow different targets or combine with others to create a larger beam.
The TRMs in the array are formed into groups, and the signals received by each group are fed to a receiver which digitalizes the data before passing it to the radar’s processor.
Due to their size, the receivers must be positioned back from the aircraft’s nose and accept the incoming analogue radar signal down coaxial cables, which incurs some data loss before the signal is digitalized.
To remedy that, Leonardo is working on miniaturizing the receivers so they can be moved up into the nose and integrated within the antenna, cutting out the need for a coaxial cable. The data emerging from the receiver must still travel to the processor, but by now it is digital and can flow down fiber-optic cables, reducing data loss.
“Miniaturized receivers can digitalize the signal within the antenna much earlier in the receive chain,” said chief engineer Tim Bungey.
That’s one step up from the new state-of-the-art European Common Radar System Mark 2 radar that BAE Systems and Leonardo have signed to deliver for RAF Eurofighters, which will use coaxial cables.
“Digitalizing the data closer to the array means more data can be received and transmitted, the data can be more flexibly manipulated, and there is more potential for using the radar as a multi-function sensor such as for data linking and for electronic warfare,” said Bungey.
There is also a second advantage to miniaturized receivers: Many more can be installed, meaning each one handles fewer TRMs.
“To improve performance and flexibility within the system, a key challenge is to divide the TRMs into more groups containing fewer TRMs, handled by more receivers,” said Bungey.
“By achieving that, together with supporting wider bandwidths, you can generate significantly more data, giving greater flexibility for beam steering and multi-function operation,” he added.
“We are aiming to increase the number of groups of TRMs, and therefore the number of receivers, beyond what will be offered by the MK2 radar for Eurofighter,” he added.
While the radar may push the envelope, Duncan McCrory, Leonardo’s Tempest chief engineer, said it would be a mistake to consider it as a stand-alone component.
