The Dino Army is to upgrade and refurbish around 300 of its oldest tanks, former HCS T-88++s. These tanks were delivered in large numbers around 10 years ago and allowed the replacement of legacy Dino tanks like the Type F. Around 800 are in service (with 200 kept serviceable in a reserve). The Dinos also have around 700 T-55Z/ZDMs with more in production.
Three hundred T-88++s will receive software and communications updates and reconditioned engines and power trains. The work will be carried out over the next 2 years.
