#Eurosatory conventional deep strike systems 🚀 🇫🇷🇩🇪 Arianegroup introduces its B-STRIKE line, featuring the B-STRIKE 1000 and 2500 one and two-stages balistic missiles carrying a Maneurable Reentry vehicle (MaRV). The B-1000 is a truely mobile system based on X-Fire launcher recently unveiled by Soframe and Thales, while the B-STRIKE 2500 should be considered as a relocable asset, just like US DARK EAGLE system. Both vehicles can carry two missiles. The B-STRIKE 2500 can be fitted with a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), though cost per round would be much more expensive. Respective characteristics : - Time of flight : < 10 min / ~15 min; - Terminal accuarcy : sub-decametric / decametric (GNSS jamming resistant) - Apogee (max. atltitude) : > 120 km / > 150 km Presented as pre-strategic system with counter-forces capabilities (!) The B-STRIKE line was supposed to include the B-STRIKE 150, but it very recently lost against MBDA/SAFRAN Thunderdart. However, it does not foretell difficulties for the two others products as they address differents missions. More pictures in following post.

You could quite literally rebuild 1DIV from the vehicles below. Same vehicles as our closest European Ally, large numbers deployed in FLF areas already. However we will continue with UOR vehicles, extend (but do nothing) life for another 10 years and pat ourselves on the back.

🇫🇷 French Army and Thales Defence have successfully completed the demonstration and evaluation campaign of the 120MC (120mm mortar carrier) system at Camp Canjuers. @ThalesDefence @thalesgroup During the trials, the system fired 50 rounds, demonstrating its accuracy, safety, and rapid deployment. 120MC, also called Viper, is jointly developed by Thales; Dutch specialist vehicle developer, Defenture B.V.; and Spanish defense and security company, Escribano Mechanical and Engineering (EM&E) Group. The Viper 120 system features Escribano's EMOC mortar system, equipped with Thales 120mm rifled mortar barrel, integrated onto a Defenture GRF Vector 4x4 light tactical vehicle. @emegroup_ The system uses the same barrel as the French Army's MO-120 RT (rayé tracté, rifled towed) heavy mortar and offers equivalent performance, while also providing greater mobility and responsiveness through its integration onto a 4x4 light vehicle. This intermediate solution complements Thales' 120mm towed mortar system and the 2R2M/MEPAC system based on the larger VBMR Griffon 6x6 vehicle. This new system will strengthen the French Army's mobile and reactive fire support capabilities in high-intensity environments. Video credit: @ThalesDefence Image credit: Defenture B.V.

Northrop Grumman is testing a JLTV equipped with an M230LF Dual Feed with EchoGuard. The M230LF DF chain gun can be mounted on either the R400S Mk2 or RS6 RWS. Its dual-feed system allows rapid switching between rounds, such as HEDP/HEP/MMPA, to engage a wide range of threats.
Rheinmetall showcased the SEOSS-2P sight with twin EchoGuard radars. I really like the EchoGuard design. Also used on M1E3, it's better suited than the EchoShield (shown with TrueHunter sight in pic 4) for integration with standalone optics, offering greater AFV & tank upgrades.
