Although the Aritans already have their own tanks (a mix of T-55Zs/T-88++s/T-89As) the DDS are looking into standardising on their own tank type for non-Aritan elements in the New DDS Army. Unfortunately no Terran manufacturer currently makes a suitable type and the DDS may look to buying the T-55ZDM which is a Clone/Dino joint-effort.
As the ZDM is the standard Dino tank it would offer interoperability benefits though there would be a political and cultural barrier to using HCS equipment (and for the Clones themselves in selling it to the DDS). It is known that a DDS official visited Cloneworld last month and inquired as to the possibility in buying the type. The Clones have yet to reply.
