Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you the new turret slated for the Namer and Eitan IFVs. I don't know the name of who produces it, and I don't know what they call it but this image showing the layout has me jazzed.
Why am I so excited about this thing?
Because it covers all the bases. The thing has a unique and what I think is a clever setup for it's anti-tank missiles. For once we're seeing a manufacturer place them under armor and not exposed to artillery fragments or small arms fire.
It has an APS built into it! Lastly it has a (I believe) 40 mm cannon. Along with all this comes the usual bells and whistles of good if not great optics and you have a winner.
We've seen the wishlist for Marine Aviation grow. I won't quibble on it, but I do think the ground side needs to get it's fair share too. We haven't had a mobile gun based on an APC since Vietnam with the LVTP-6. Past time to get with the rest of the world and have a dedicated Amphibious IFV.
