Because information is sometimes perishable even on the net, I better put a status on this for the
2013/2014 campaign. So with the above post on the ANDERS MBT I'll add the following...

In the first ref is a picture of the ANDERS MBT from EUROSTATORY 2012.
Note the simulated firing of the FALARICK ATGM in the picture. These Medium tanks will also be equipped with Israels TROPHY System.
TRACK/ADD
Here's some news to help clear the que all FYI...
1) TROPHY beats off another ATGM attack, so far since being equipped with it the IDF TROPHY 6 ATGM/RPG 0, that should be about right...

2) Something I've had my eye on for over a year now, getting even more interesting last month, it'ds here for a reason you'll just have to read for yourselves...

3) ARJUN MKII, we'll just wait but, they're saying it'll be ready sooner. However like someone else I know date changes can be a PITA and we've changed this one twice already I believe. I'm good to leave it alone until we get closer.

4) OPLOT-M gets the "tech" treatment at last...

5) Does this mean Russias new MBT the ARMATA is in trouble and will go the way of the BLACK EAGLE or T-95? I don't think so for now anyway as the Russian Army for the most part seems to think it's time to go in a new direction with a new design...

6) Taiwan wants 200 new tanks, where will they come from. A prediction if we don't do it maybe
a look will be given to the Ukraines OPLOT-M. Thailand is very happy with theirs and they would hold their against anything China has now.
