Leave it alone for now, I saw the same in game. Though
NOT from Army sources, I'm seeing a
very small number of sites stating it has reached
FOC. Some of this I've already "
deconflicted" simply by the firing qualifications ongoing
last OCT. as I just posted from an Army source.
As you well know, this an issue we've had to deal with more times, it seems, than we can count in the past.
For sure of the tanks, I listed almost ten years ago now, that I expected to see before games end, I know we
WILL NOT see the following:
LeClerc XLR and
CHALLENGER 3.
In the category of
HIGHLY UNLIKELY the
ARMATA,
ALTAY (Towards end of last year, they were seeking a contract to buy engines from S. Korea which
I believe is now completed. I've stated
many times over the years this was a
major impediment for this tank to overcome.) and the
ARJUN Mk2 which of the three mentioned might have the "
best shot" to get in.
Go figure!?! 
And finally, the
SURPRISE was the German
LEOPARD 2A7V awesome piece of engineering and a game changer in the real world. That being said the unit receiving it
WILL NOT be fully equipped with it until
APRIL 2022. see below
ref. 2 for further breakdown and my thoughts on this tank. They deploy for 2 years in
OCTOBER 2022 as a NATO Rapid Reaction Force 2022/24

(They moved fast.)
https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/organis...truppe-5220262
(Upper right note date of article 16SEP2021.
Other 8 due by APRIL 2022.
Allowing for ongoing training/qualification and of those crews JUNE 2022 better for FOC.)
Thats all the tank status I have in a "
nutshell" hope it helps for your planning.
Washout: Leave
M1A2C alone for this year.
Tracking rest after
LeClerc and CHALLENGER 3 (Not happening).
And finally,
CHANGE START to
JUN 2022 for
LEOPARD 2A7V.
Back to work today.

Pat
