Re: MBT's
I think this is the latest iteration of the FUTURE NATO MAIN GUN effort (not an official name), to find a successor to the 120mm Rheinmetall in much the same way the 120mm Rheinmetall succeeded the 105mm L7 as the "standard" tank gun of NATO.
The earlier 140mm Tank Gun effort in Germany/USA in the late 1980s/Early 1990s was an earlier iteration of this concept.
