Two new Marder models...

Tamir over at Defense Update has about the best coverage of Eurosatory 2012.

To be honest, I've been a bit UNDERWHELMED by the offerings this year.   Go to Tamir's site to read more on these unusual Marder concepts.

Other vehicles at the show this year are below......

General Dynamics Europe has "civilianized" the EAGLE...You can bet they want to do the same in the US...especially if they win the JLTV contract.

Iveco wants to build on the VBTR's win in Brazil...Argentina just procured some a few months ago and it will probably be offered as competition against the Piranha III...especially since the bigger and heavier Piranha V has yet to gain traction

More to come hopefully but as I said.  The vehicle makers are cautious as hell.  I forgot where I read it but they even place rocks and such underneath their vehicles not to make them appear to be in a desert or forest environment but to keep "spies" from crawling underneath photographing the underbodies gaining a competitive edge.

Big boy procurement indeed.
