Polish tank future EU 01 CONCEPT successor to the T-72, PT-91 and Leopard-premiere MSPO 2013
This AFV looks like something out of the Terminator future war with the machines, with an unmanned/autoload turret. It's not apparent why men on board are necessary if you had autonomous control and good communications. Particularly if it is used in the purported role of direct fire support, it could be controlled by surrounding troops. Secret Projects
Soon, serving in the Polish army tanks T-72, PT-91 Hard or Leopard tanks can be replacee with the future polish tank PL 01 CONCEPT presented at the International Defence Industry Exhibition 2013 International Defence Industry Exhibition Kielce.
