Re: MBT's
Thailand apparently has chosen to buy 200 Ukrainian OPLOT tanks according to the following newspapers to replace it's current fleet of M41A3 tanks. Many tanks were considered such as the K-1 (The preferred front runner by the Thai Army.), T-90S and LEOPARD 2A4. These tanks would supplement the existing M60A3 tanks which might see some further modifications themselves, though those sources aren't solid. I believe this would the first export customer for the OPLOT. No dates available at this time, so I'll have to hold off on submitting the tank for the game, and also there is the question of will the military force the issue of it's apparent preferred choice the K-1+ as this has the 120mm in keeping with the other tanks above. This has also lead me to check Thailand's game status for receipt of the CEASAR SPA (Ordered in 2006 as first export customer, with order complete in 2010.) and BTR-3E3 APC (Delivered starting last Sep. 2010.) Still no press release from the manufacturer either of the OPLOT sale.

Re: MBT's
The apc should read BTR-3E1 sorry! Both CAESAR and the BTR-3E1 will be on the add list for Thailand.

Re: MBT's
Thanks, will remove from the list BTR-3E1 and CAESAR and post the info I have for both to appropriate threads. Holding OPLOT info until I get something with good dates on it. It's been a good year for Thailand and S.E. Asia in general game wise. Thanks again!
Regards,
Pat

Re : ARJUN MK II
I've been burnt by drawings in the past so a photo is best but *if* that rendering is accurate it seems similar in many ways to the Japanese Type 10 but without the width restrictions

Re: MBT's
Well maybe we just have a "confused" tank!?! I would think if they have a couple of these running around and are initially satisfied with it's performance we'll have pictures by the late Fall to show it off, just my opion, but we have time to get it right.

Pat
