It's hard to believe, but 2002 was a long time ago -- almost fifteen years now.

The world's changed a lot -- Singapore from 1968-20xx operated just the AMX-13; and then they just jumped to the Leopard 2A4 then to Leopard 2SG -- that's going from 'no sizzle' to lot of 'sizzle'.

Same with Venezuela. No sizzle for a long time, then Comrade Hugo shows up and starts buying Russian kit like it's going out of style.
