By Caudillo:

DSCA a anuntat recent aprobarea vanzarii de blindate pentru Romania :

… “four (4) Heavy Assault Scissor Bridges (HASB); fifty-four (54) M240C 7.62mm machine guns; ten (10) AGT1500 Gas Turbine engines; five thousand nine hundred forty (5,940) 120mm M1147 High Explosive, Multipurpose, Tracer (HEMP-T) cartridges; and four thousand two hundred thirty (4,230) 120mm M1002 Target Practice Multipurpose, Tracer (TPMP-T) cartridges.

Pretul estimat de americani e de 2,53 mld USD, MApN a anuntat un pret de 1,07 mld USD. Daca ne uitam pe anuntul DSCA observam niste detalii, cum ar fi : nu apar in tranzactie proiectile sageata sau lipsa dotarii cu  Trophy.

Tancurile Abrams nu se mai fabrica de la 0 din 1996, se iau carcase din rezerva americana de  3-4000 de bucati si se aduc la versiunea dorita. Probabil ca tancurile pentru Romania se vor ansambla la uzina din Lima, uzina detinuta de guvernul american si manageriata de GDLS. Despre aceasta uzina Trump afirma ca daca nu ar fi fost el uzina ar fi fost inchisa, afirmatie contrazisa ulterior in presa americana.
