The Dinos have awarded the Clones a 7 million zark contract to upgrade the 360 T-55ZDM tanks it currently has to the later (and current) T-55ZDM2 standard. The Clones will provide kits to the Dino Army who will carry out the upgrades themselves. The tank has proved to be very popular in Dino service and the Dinos have accelerated efforts to standardise on the tank.
The last remaining Type F tanks have been withdrawn leaving the Type G as the sole remaining Dino designed tanks in service and these are pretty old too. The last 32 T-88++ tanks the Dinos bought off the HCS originally before standardising on the T-55Z have been given to the Aritans for free as a gesture of goodwill (not that they are worth a lot). 170 ex-HCS T-55Zs have been transferred to the Dinos to boost stocks. It is not known how much the Dinos paid the Clones for these tanks however 2 Dinomark XTs have recently been loaned to the Clones Space Navy for evaluation for 2 years and there is speculation that this loan is the "payment".
