News from last week.
1. Bulgarian low rate production of the BMP-30 to wind down over the next few years, however upgrades to the existing units to include the BMP-23 are to start to bring them up to NATO standards with their recent induction into NATO.

2. As added to I believe it was my second "patch post" at the end of November, Malaysia and Turkey have sealed the deal for
257 MCV 8x8 APC's (PARS.) as reported when I submitted them last fall.

3. As some might remember I thought the end was near for the HMMWV when the OSH-KOSH M-ATV came out. But like re-fried beans BAE still manages to keep the HMMWV coming back
