Just a couple of articles that are subjective in nature. For the first I can see the case for the Renault FT and I have to agree with the second where it has the K2 and not so much with the ARMATA due to its continued mechanical and technical issues that have been ongoing for years.

When we're getting verification of these issues from Russian industry, government and military in quotes from several sources (Russian news and defense websites even within Russia etc.) you need to simply remember "Where there is smoke there is fire."

As to Australia, the below supplements Marks post. As I have indicated my source for the official source will come from the Army itself. On tracking this from a couple of things I've read to this point I believe our export version of SEP V3 MIGHT reach FOC sometime between OCT- DEC 2025.

Also, the "gap" in numbers from that same source is saying the Army is going to hold back 10 of the M1 ABRAMS first to have tanks and to also use them for training platforms. The rest are still as of this time, are still to go to the Ukraine.

The ICON looks GREAT! Are you going to do a dessert version?
