Well a little news and updates.
1. First up the Polish ANDERS, it has successfully been tested on another weapons system, the Belgian CT-CV 105mm cannon. So for those keeping score that's the Bushmaster 30mm, RUAG 120mm and now the CT-CV 105mm. I'm thinking a contract within the year, possibly the Netherlands after retiring their LEO's last May or to an Asian country.

2. The "new" Russian T-90S, I believe I've got it figured out that the T-90M will be the Russian version with the T-90AM the export version, as suspected in an earlier post (About 2 or 3 back, I think.), so here's latest the ref, it's the best look at the tank I've seen thus far. I believe I might submit this for the next Patch Post (#2). This also has the newer ERA package also discussed in this thread as will be used on the either the T-95 or T-99 "BLACK EAGLE" of which no decision has yet been announced on which [b]will[b] go into production.

3. I find the Greek M1A1 thread very interesting, but have not seen anything yet either to support it from my sources plus, DOD, DOA or Stars and Stripes. However I'll keep a watch out for it as well. This ref has been updated to reflect the current export deals such as 1. Saudi Arabia upgrades, 2. Egypt's additional tanks they are to get and 3. Iraq's final 126 tanks (Out of 140.)and 7 TRVs will be delivered by this December on time. Please note the "Operator" section upper left. Again this ref is updated.

But if I may, why would they note Australia's M1A1 tanks under the DU Armor protection section? Did that question ever get resolved last year about this time dealing with that issue?
