The DDS have decided to design their own tank for the New DDS Army. New DDS Tank (NDT of course in the acronym obsessed DDS) will use the Avenger IV as it's basis (as the Avenger V was a failure) but will be lighter to better suit rapid deployment. A design team has been set up with the help of 2 Terran arms manufacturers who will build the finalised design.
Sea Urchin said he hoped to have something in testing within 2 years though that will be a tough ask. Meanwhile Aritan T-55Zs and T-88++s will be receiving radio and datalink updates in a 17 million zark upgrade packedge part funded by the DDS.
