🇮🇹 Italian 'OF-40/120'

• This variant of the OF-40 was intended for the export market, however the true vehicle was never actually constructed as a complete prototype, only partial testbeds.

• The hull would have only been lightly modified and the turret was designed to be similar to the C1 Ariete.

• Had the tank been built it was intended to have a 120mm L/44 gun like the C1 Ariete MBT.

• The tank was also supposed to have a 1,000hp engine.

The 🇫🇷 French M20 Revalorisé:

• During the time of 1956 to 1964, France was phasing out the lend-lease M8 Greyhound and M20 Armored Car for their domestic Panhard EBR. However, France sought to sell these surplus vehicles to nations in Africa. This idea was later scrapped as no buyers placed any orders.

• The modified M20 Armored Car mounts a H90 turret with 90 mm DEFA F1 cannon from an AML-90. Ammo storage of possibly 20 round. The Coaxial 7.62 mm AA NF1 machine gun would likely be 2200 rounds. This would be coupled with the turret's already existing smoke dischargers and optics.

• Weight of the vehicle was increased due to the turret ~8.75t with a Hercules JXD 6-cylinder 4-cycle inline gasoline engine 110hp engine gives it a slower top speed but performance was reported as largely unchanged.

🇷🇺Russian T-80BVM equipped with an electronic jamming system. Before the emergence of fiber-optic drones, this technology still provided effective protection for the tank by jamming or completely severing the drones' radio-based control signals. As a result, these devices often crashed into the ground before reaching their target, or if control was maintained operators were forced to seek alternative targets.

🇵🇱The Polish Army is ordering the SAN system, a comprehensive anti-drone system. The SAN system will consist of 703 vehicles, including approximately 400 vehicles based on Jelcz trucks and 300 based on the Legwan 4x4.

• Effectors will include:

- 70mm laser-guided APKWS missiles
- 35x225mm KDA AG-35 PIT Radwar
- 30x173mm Bushmaster RT-20 Kongsberg
- Jammers from APS
- 12.7mm multi-barrel machine gun ''Monster from ZM Tarnów''
- MEROPS counter-drone interceptors

The SAN program implementation period is 2026-2028, so this is truly impressive.
