See the source and date. The quote below I've already posted from another source (Janes or Army REC.) about the beginning of last month.
SEP 22 if planned for
FOC is too soon based on the below if I followed your last post correctly.
Para 2: Is the "Shopping List".
Note: "Proposed Sale/Potential Sale" throughout.
"Implementation of this
proposed sale will require approximately (22) U.S. Government and (52)
U.S. contractor representatives to travel to Poland for a duration of up to five years to support equipment fielding and training. "

We
don't just have these tanks lying around, they will have to completely
RESET with DU/and any other classified armor on ours along and
not limited to the following subsystems such
FCS, GPS (We use our own military specific system which I still can't discuss.), Stabilizer, Vision, Comms etc.
For instance,
TI/GSR 50 for
BOTH the Polish and Taiwanese
M1A2T as one example based on them choosing to buy an
earlier GEN system from us or
installing their own.
I see the Polish tanks at least
2 years out to FOC minimum, I'd rather be
wrong once than finding ourselves
chasing FOC dates again over and over again.
Let's not let expectations get ahead of good common sense.
I gotta got ready for work.
Just got this after logging off.
Forget about my 2 years MAYBE...
"The tanks are expected to be delivered to Poland by 2026 and will be deployed in eastern Poland to deter Russia." FROM
