THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT ACTIONABLE!! UPDATE/INFO ONLY!!
A little reverse order filing based on significance both militaria and politically.
ITALY: Keeping them relevant to
2030/35 the
C1 ARIETE is
currently in trials to determine which or both packages will constitute the final upgrade. From the article...
"Citing information from the "War Thunder" forum, the
C1 Ariete AMV program will feature
3 prototypes at first, the
AMV PT1, which will feature
improvements to the hull, the
PT2 which will feature
improvements to the turret, and finally the
PT3 which will incorporate improvements
to both the turret and hull." We are
LIKELY to see this.

BAHRAIN/INDIA: I just posted my thoughts on the within my last two posts.
If this gets done, it'll just bolster my prediction for the
ARJUN Mk 2 going into service with India. As a reminder, the Indian Army
wouldn't compete any version of their
T-72 tanks against the
ARJUN. And it dominated
both the Russian and Indian built
T-90S tanks. Leading an Israeli military observer to call/
praise the
ARJUN after the competition the "
Desert Ferrari" Still feel
LIKELY to see this, more so if this deal gets done.

TAIWAN: Looks like this is moving forward. Taiwan is to receive
2 M1A2T tanks stateside in
June 2021. These will be used to
train the trainers from
TAIWAN. These
WILL NOT be as good as the as our
M1A2 SEP V2 as this article purports it to be. I
already know what modifications to make against the
M1A2 SEP V2 I submitted a few years back. Delivery According to the Taiwanese Ministry of National Defense,
38 tanks will be delivered in 2024, 42 in 2025, and 28 in 2026.

WE NEED TO WAIT ON THIS LAST. Who knows what was said yesterday between Biden and Xi? The real question is,
what price is to be paid to keep China from supporting Russia in its war with the Ukraine? It's
not the first time we've been down this road with tanks for Taiwan. We haven't sent them any in decades.
ALRIGHT...
Last Order from you know who if you follow me...

Ordered 1996 Delivered 1998-2002 (300) Second-hand; $223 m deal; M-60A3TTS version
