Called Lynx 120, this new unique platform combines a proven turret concept and a 120 mm smoothbore cannon with the chassis of the former Lynx KF 41. The new mechanized fire support variant of the new German tank offers the user excellent fire support and anti-tank capabilities.

Thanks to a well-balanced mix of lethality, protection, mobility, and survivability, the Lynx 120 is the perfect additional battlefield asset for users of the Lynx platform. With ready-to-use components, meticulous engineering reduces the weight of the vehicle, while customizable protection packages complete the offering.

The vehicle architecture has been simplified and provides an open “plug-and-play” capability for future updates, such as high-tech combat systems, at a time when conventional solutions and concepts have reached the limits of their performance, the new German tank is designed to provide maximum lethality and firepower on tracks paired with the latest defense technologies, technologies to keep adversaries at bay.

Check Out The Weapons On The New German Tank

Using the Lynx KF 41 modular chassis and a scalable large-caliber turret concept, the Lynx 120 is a high-performance solution, housing vast growth potential and guaranteed overcoming capability.

Recently, Rheinmetall Defense Australia unveiled a variant of the Lynx Combat Support Vehicle (CSV): now there is also the fire support version. The basic idea behind the Lynx 120 design concept is to provide a combat system that delivers maximum operational performance combined with logistical advantages within a reasonable timeframe at a realistic cost.

The vehicle’s primary armament is a Rheinmetall 120 mm smoothbore gun, derived from the main armament of the Leopard 2. It can fire programmable DM11 next-generation high-explosive (HE) projectiles.

Its secondary armament includes a coaxial machine gun. Additionally, the commander’s independent weapon station will feature an additional .50 cal machine gun. A 360° camera system with automatic target detection and tracking reduces the crew’s workload in all operational scenarios.

New Tank Can Defeat Anti-Tank Missiles

Special protection modules allow for mission-specific responses to ballistic threats, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), explosively formed penetrators, and artillery fire, and can be quickly mounted with limited tools.

Moreover, the Lynx 120 can be readily equipped with the already proven Rheinmetall Active Defense System, or ADS, to defeat rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank missiles. Additional armor packages and active protection systems can be provided upon request.

Several nations are interested in acquiring the new German tank as a next-generation substitute for their outdated fleets. The platform is currently a strong contender in the modernization plans for the Australian and Slovak IFVs and is competing for the U.S. Optional Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) program.
