[World News] New medium tank concept unveiled at Eurosatory

CMI Defence and BAE Systems Hägglunds unveiled a new medium tank concept at Eurosatory this week based on the Cockerill XC-8 turret and the CV90 tracked chassis.

The Cockerill XC-8 is a low-weight concept turret that looks to fulfil the broad operational flexibility demanded by medium tank requirements.

The concept offers advanced 105mm or 120mm guns; the Cockerill 105mm high pressure gun provides crew commanders with a wide choice of ammunition to suit the tactical situation while the 120mm gun provides a strengthened anti-armour capability.
