The
DDS have received the first of their new standard tank developed and built by their in-house land weapons manufacturer
Sanger Municipal Arms (SMA). Ten
T-62Ys have been delivered to a
DDS Terrestrial Forces trials unit and the type is expected to enter service next year. SMA will build 250 of the tanks to supplement the ex-
HCS tanks currently in service. Further tank orders are expected to allow the DDS to move to a standard fleet in the 2120s.
The
Free Eritran States are also eyeing the tank as they seek to build their land forces, a
Molabite team has joined the Terrestrial Forces unit to observe the tank being put through its paces.
- The Clone Navy has placed an order for 2 landing ships to assist with anti-piracy operations. The 12,000 ton LSDs are expected to enter service in early 2115.
