Reply With QuoteThat Thales F90 picture on Army Recognition shows a Steyr F88, I think. Quite a few differences are visible compared to the F90 in the hands of the gasmask guy.
The double-barreled AR15 ist pure gun porn.

I haven't been to Thales yet but somebody told me it is indeed based on Steyr... Obviously Thales got their eyes on a piece of the "FAMAS replacement cake"Originally Posted by Steak-Sauce
Yes, the articles mention it's based on the Australian Steyr variant. I edited my post just a few seconds ago, because it doesn't look like the A3, but maybe like the newest F88? Can't tell for sure. F90 looks a bit more bulky I'd say.
http://www.thalesgroup.com/Press_Rel...F90/?pid=11141The F90 is identical to the EF88-designated weapon currently being developed by the company for Australia’s LAND 125 program, and is based on the F88 platform that has been in service and evolved in Australia since the late 1980s.
A shame Force Protection Europe isn't showing (or at least according to 'the list'), really wanted to see how far they'd come with the Foxhound. Thanks for the updates XAV, trying to drag myself to DVD 2012 this year, but everything is conspiring against me at the moment.
It is not true, and it is not identical; for instance the F90 has equipped with a bolt catch, and the EF88 not, and is a bit lighter than the EF88
P90 carbine and P90 Sniper/Grenade Launcher

The EF88/F90 has not been standardised for production yet so there are a few variants of the type. The whole point of the EF88 project is the Electronic Architecture (EA) to enable integration of the rifle with digital fire control systems (FCS) and battle management systems (BMS). There have also been ergonomic, mechanism and modularity improvements to the base F88/AUG. Like for example the pistol grip has actually being moved backwards reducing the length of the trigger pull so it fits better with soldiers wearing body armour. The F90 would appear to be Thales’s attempt to capitalise commercially on the EF88 design features before the EA is fully developed.
It doesn't exist anymore, they ve been bought by General Dynamics
Damian, I have a question: T-90MS or T-90SM? Reason for asking: at exhibition in India this tank was presented as "T-90S Modernized". That means T-90SM! However, Russian Internet is calling it T-90MS. It's not logical: then extended name for T-90MS must be "T-90 Modernized S"! My attempts to clear that question on Russian forums were ignored, as if I tried to troll...not T-90S but T-90MS.
Did I miss something and thinking wrong? Or T-90SM is more logical name for that tank? Thank you.

Dagnabbit, completely forgotten about that. Will you be looking at their stand by chance? Would do questionable things for some photos of the recent spec Foxhound.
