Things I have my eye on or another way of saying I'm txxxxxxg these...
Iran - It appears they have a new tank running around, and I would concur it's armed with a 125mm MG based on the Russian armor they already possess. It does look somewhat like the T-90MS though I wouldn't expect it to be of the same quality. The tank is named the KARRAR.

Also...
They've improved their M60 tanks as well.

Thailand - This topic lead Ukraine to get their act together to produce the T-84 OPLOT M that they had contracted to do.

India - This next shows how long I keep my data and where I left off. This still needs some verification of the development and implementation of these reported improvements to to the ARJUN.

Belarus - This one of my "OWOO" bottom line is they get a enhanced and much improved T-72.

Well you'll have to excuse me while "I hit the rack" one more to go. That "rack" is still more comfortable then say a "foxhole" you ground pounders use. But none of it is as good as the USAF gets!!

Almost forgot...

CIA - Consider this a bonus. And note the date as 2004 making this one of the newer released sources on this topic.
