Fallout Re: MBT's

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 tracked 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
