Not sure if I shared this video here or not. Either way ROK T-80Us very shortly after they were introduced to Korea in 1998.

A bit early to say who will get what, imo. The commonwealth looks guilty for “attritional tendering” at this point - there’s apparently another repricing activity. That’s the third one. 

Reports ahead of tomorrow’s public Strategic Defence Review release indicate that L400-3 will be cut to 129 for a single mech battalion. It seems likely that Hanwha will get the contract, to soften the blow of losing the second tranche of huntsman (30 AS9 + 10 AS10).
