1. Don't know if it'll make my list for this year or not but ARMA went from it's debut in June (EUROSTATY 2010) to being sold to it's first customer this past week and it wasn't Turkey, the country is thus far unidentified...but not for long.

3. The new PUMA IFV will probably become one of the best IFV's in the world once it goes into full production but for now we have two of them.

4. Though there's a good chance this will be fielded possibly in the first half of 2011, it'll probably be on my list for the 2012 patch as a mod or add to the STRYKER IFV. The CROWS II system has successfully integrated the station to carry and now launch the JAVILIN ATGW.

5. GCV as I reported on earlier was reopened to bids this past week. One of the key elements changed is that the requirement for a tracked vehicle has been dropped. Competitors can now submit either as long as it meets all other requirements.
