The Clones and Dinos have agreed a 250 million zark contract to develop a third generation of the T-55ZDM. The T-55ZDM3 (which will be called T-55Z8 by the Clone Army) will be jointly developed by the Clones and Dinos but the Dinos will build their own examples as they already produce ZDM2s.
While the ZDM2 concentrated on a new turret its thought the ZDM3 will look to improve and modernise the rest of the tank. A new engine and improved armour are expected.
