Re: MBT's
Quick status of the M829E4/M829A4 (Field version.), it is in low rate production now/USA to decide on status of the continued use of DU rounds by MID FY16 (Mar/Apr 2016) though DU will still be used to enhance armor protection due to greater protective abilities over steel. Included USA ref on current status of our ammo across the board from 30mm to 120mm from 2014.
