From nice Airbus Lady:

Internal weapons bay can hold two AARGM in a top and bottom configuration, so atleast 4.5m long.
Width of the bay I couldnt get confirmation, looked like to be a bit wider than 50-60cm.

Upon question which engine, EJ200.


MTOW , Ordonance max weight, fuel capacity, range no data.


In conjuction with Airbus and the Luftwaffe.

Part of the FCAS, concept studies, no manned verson of the airframe planned atm.

Supercruise capable. Kinematics similiar to Eurofighter.

Slight S-Duct intake.

Nozzle not modeled properly.

Germany Develops Next-Gen Leopard 2AX as Alternative to Joint MGCS Project and Existing Leopard 2A8 Tank.

Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin presented a new MLRS GMARS, one might say this is an improved MLRS HIMARS. The GMARS MLRS is equipped with inertial navigation and a target guidance system using a GPS system. The GMARS MLRS will subsequently replace the German MARS-2 MLRS. The MLRS is placed on a more powerful HX 8x8 truck chassis from Rheinmetall and is equipped with a two-hull launch system from Lockheed Martin. The GMARS MLRS can use GMLRS rockets with a range of more than 70 kilometers, ER GMLRS with a range of up to 150 kilometers and ATACMS missiles capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 300 kilometers. New PrSM ballistic missiles with a range of more than 400 kilometers can also be launched. The GMARS MLRS is unified with the M270 MLRS and the HIMARS MLRS to simplify its use in NATO armies. The mass of the GMARS MLRS is 31,140 kg; at full load it reaches 42,240 kg. The GMARS MLRS reaches speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour and has a range of up to 700 km.
