Re: MBT's
Things are moving along with the funding possibility for the Italian Army to acquire the new and much improved CENTAURO 2 as first posted on 03 Sep. 2016 in Post 542. If this gets approved and as discussed over the recent years, this I believe would kill any plans to further develop the ARIETE MBT which has seen little improvement over the years. It's again all about the economics and maintaining an agile land force concept.
