Again, backed off the
FOC issue that I'll "
Fall on my Sword" for normally because of the talk that the
UK & France might be sending "
Peacekeepers" into the Ukraine. Refer to
Post 742 above for dates as now submitted.
This talk has abated somewhat in the last week or two and I might have last Wednesdays "
Prime Ministers Questions" to watch tonight or Tue. for any update on that issue.
Come what may, the following ref again is reporting the
latest (And unchanged.)
IOC and
FOC as I've been posting.
To be
CLEAR I defer to Dons judgement on those dates as the situation progresses.
With that out of the way for the
last time, I'm posting the following as being more about
WHO is getting them vice when.

(Good refresher on Project and you'll understand why Don and I have been "chasing" this for so long.)
"Full Operating Capability (FOC) is currently expected
between October 2028 and September 2029, when all necessary training and conversions are scheduled to be completed."

(Somewhat of a rehash of the above.)
A couple of
MBT side notes:
1. I can
CONFIRM that
Australia will be holding on to a Companies worth of their
M1A1 tanks until our
"Export" M1A2C is fully integrated into the
ARA. The rest should be in the
Ukraine at this time.
2.
K2 and K8O8 APC going to Peru tracking.
