Dawes Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 I take it that upgrading to the M1A2 configuration would be cost prohibitive? https://www.dsca.mil/sites/default/files/mas/Press Release - Egypt 20-29 CN - V2.pdf
TrustMe Posted January 9 Posted January 9 More on the upgrade .. https://www.menadefense.net/legypte-va-moderniser-sa-flotte-de-chars-abrams/

Sounds like someone's getting scammed.
Tim Sielbeck Posted January 10 Posted January 10 If they’re replacing 1st gen thermals with something more recent it would still be a good thing.
Damian Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Egypt is simply upgrading 555 of the oldest M1A1's they have to M1A1SA (M1A1AIMv2) configuration. This will require more than just upgrading thermal sights @Mighty_Zuk. Simply DSCA documents, never list everything included in that specific agreement package.
