It's now official,
PAKISTAN has just
confirmed induction of the
VT-4 tank today. This will be an easy one, so that means
START OCT 2020. This induction follows
2 months after the
al-Khalid-I was inducted in the
3rd week of August.
The
al-Khalid-I, will be submitted with the
German LEOPARDS as my first two tank submissions using the 2 Per Thread Plan (
2PTP 
) I discussed in my last post to include all my Threads.

Why those two? Because
I know they exist and are at FOC.
I've already started working the "
rough" numbers for this MBT.
Unless someone "
blows my cover" I'll be "
holding my cards" the rest of the way. I've
vented and
I THANK YOU for allowing that, now
it's time to go to work.
Something until now I didn't know existed from
ISRAEL the
Sabrah 105mm light tank based on t
racked platform ASCOD 2 from GDELS.
This being offered for the
Philippine Army's Light Tank Acquisition Project, which is in competition with
Hanwha Systems K21-105 and
Otokar Arma 105 light tanks, and
Pindad Harimau Light Tank.
Some good competition there, this will be interesting to watch over the
next year or so.

Side note for to be posted in the
APC Thread later...
BULGARIA has chosen the
PATRIA AMV XP to fulfil it's APC requirements after
Phase 2 of the procurement process has just been completed. It's
PATRIAs to lose in starting Phase 3 with the
field tests and negotiations to come.
This a much
improved version of the
AMV which is considered one of the worlds best APCs at least in the "
wheeled" category.
I might just come back and
copy this, as I see,
I can't just make a simple announcement. Surprise, Surprise.
Regards,
Pat
