Don,
1. To clarify the para 4 concerning the VOLKAN FCS where I had the TI/GSR 40 is for the LEOPARD-1T if I confused you there. Meant to "flip it" with the para 2 on that systems 3 different levels above it in Post #773 and forgot. Sorry if caused any confusion.

2. Thanks for the M-48T5 resolution, just ran out of time there, but I see it got you to Greece and not as a tourist. It was well answered though. Another "Rabbit Hole" just a little smaller than most.

3. Russia the T-90M is not for export, it's going into the Russian Army only. I now seem to remember something about this tank, maybe it was posted in the development stage. Will check FIREFOX files I transferred over. My army recognition ref 1 has a good photo as well.

I have verified that the T-90M was used in ZAPAD 2017 last SEP per the ref above. It was the largest Russian Exercise since the Cold War which made international News and gave concern to NATO. I found a picture of in the exercise in my search.

I'm sticking with my OCT 2018 date for now as posted in my last.
No better way to opeval a tank than to put it into a major exercise, especially of that scope.

Alright back to work today.

Regards,
Pat


EDIT: THIS IS WHY I SHOULD EAT SOMETHING BEFORE I POST. SORRY DON WRONG TANK WRONG COUNTRY IN MY REPLY ABOVE. OK THE T-72MP IS FOR THE UKRAINIAN ARMY, HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING TO SUGGUST THEY'LL TRY TO EXPORT IT-YET. WILL KEEP MY EYE ON IT.

Well at least we have another picture of the Russian T-90M!?!
