#烽火问鼎计划# 关于豹2A-RC3.0主战坦克，KNDS德国公司的顾问Nicholas Drummond的一些观点分享和个人评论（图1，图2和图3）：
Few facts about the Leopard 2 A-RC 3.0 MBT:
😍 The name A-RC = arc or bridge between Leopard 2 and 3. RC = remote control 3 = crew of 3. 0 = no one in the turret. 联系豹2和豹3的“过渡型号”/桥梁，RC = 遥控，3.0 = 3人在车体，0人在炮塔；
😍 The omission of periscopes is compensated for by having multiple SA cameras to ensure redundancy. 用多个势态感知用摄像头来取代潜望镜，并保证有冗余；
😍 ARC has a crew of three with Commander and Gunner sitting below the turret ring and behind the driver who moves to a centre front position. Nick说的这个布局和演示动画的3名车组成员座位的布局完全一致，见图2，是个前一后二的品字型，车长和炮长直接坐在炮塔坐圈正下方，驾驶员位于前方正中，也能从示意图里看出车首装甲布置，优秀的航向角防护设计[思考]；
😍 Frontal armour is a big step up from Leopard 2 车首装甲防护水平相对豹2大幅度提升（情理之中，另外一个小提示，KNDS德国公司曾在采访中提到过，豹2A7V的车首正面可以挡住在2km距离上自己的主炮，推测可能是L55A1+DM63？）
😍 The turret does not intrude into the hull at all - meaning that the crew are completely isolated from ammunition stowage. 炮塔为非穿透式，车体和炮塔绝对的分隔开了（弹药储存在无人炮塔里）
😍 The production version will have a hydro-pneumatic in-arm suspension.
量产版会换成肘内液气悬架（MBT-70主战坦克的“梦想”，豹2研发时因技术不成熟放弃，但现在以Horstman公司的InArM系列为代表的肘内液气悬架技术已成熟）
😍 The production version will also have a coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun. （量产版会加装7.62 mm同轴机枪，🆗，没啥疑问了[思考]）
😍 The key thing is the weight and height reduction. 6-10 tonnes less depending on configuration. 重量减轻和车高降低，取决于规格，实现6-10吨车重减少（符合10%减重的说法）
😍 Trophy now has improved sensors so faster more reliable threat detection. “战利品”主动防护系统已更新升级的传感器以更迅速的应对威胁
😍 Critically, the addition of proximity airburst ammunition to the 30 x 113 mm C-UAS cannon plus an increased number /type of sensors makes the ARC able to protect the entire battle group not just itself. 带近炸引信空爆弹的“短”30 mm自动炮配合坦克的各种传感器可使“豹”2A-RC3.0对无人机威胁不仅具备自卫能力，甚至还能为连队提供防御火力（评论：类似驱护舰的点防空/区域防空，有待实战验证）
😍 3rd generation fused IR / TI sensors plus long-range ATGM (8 km+) enable the ARC to see and engage enemy MBTs at ranges well beyond any corresponding ability to return fire 融合3代红外/ TI（具体是什么缩写？）传感器加上远程反坦克导弹（8 km+，视频里给的是6000 m+）可使“豹”2A-RC3.0能在更远的距离找到并打击敌方坦克，而敌方坦克（在这个距离上无法还击）（评论：有点战列舰进化的那个意思了）
😍 in case all this is not enough, a new MTU/ Renk hybrid drive power pack will increase combat range, reduce emissions and allow for quieter movement. 除此之外，Nick认为“豹”2A-RC3.0也能换装MTU/Renk的全新混合动力动力包，具体见MTU公司的新V10柴油发动机（图4）和Renk公司的ATREX混动变速箱（图5，图6，图7，图8）
😍 Overall, the ARC’s attributes aim to restore the primacy of the MBT. The attached video shows that it is not a wooden concept but a working full metal prototype. “豹”2A-RC3.0已经不是🪵木质模型阶段了，而是一款金属制“原型车”，Nick这是在给自家KNDS的老板帮腔，毕竟KNDS的老板曾对媒体说现在的“死对头”莱茵金属公司的KF51黑豹只是“3D PPT”[doge]

😍 While KNDS Germany has been developing the ARC, our French colleagues have been working on vehicle electronic systems and new weapons. The 140 mm Ascalon gun, is a triumph of packaging. 最后Nick指出，在KNDS德国忙于“豹”2A-RC3.0研发时，公司自家兄弟KNDS法国也在忙于车电系统和新武器的研发。并认为140mm Ascalon坦克炮也是“豹”2A-RC3.0主战坦克的“王牌”选择（图9）[doge]
