"Seeking Superiority: US Army Seeks Alternative Tanks for the Pacific Theater"

The US Army is facing the challenge of designing a next-generation tank that can effectively operate in both Europe and the Pacific. The aging M1 Abrams tank, designed for European plains, is not suitable for the jungles and remote islands of the Pacific and is also vulnerable to new threats posed by rival nations. The Army is seeking a tank that is lighter, more mobile, and better protected against advanced threats. However, finding a tank that meets the requirements of both theaters remains a significant challenge, and the analytical capabilities used in the development of the M1 Abrams are currently lacking for the development of a next-generation tank.

"French and German Defense Chiefs Revive Stagnant Next-Gen Tank Project"

The defense ministers of Germany and France have pledged to revitalize a joint project to develop a next-generation tank, aiming to replace their respective tank fleets by 2035-2040. The plan includes the construction of a new tank, along with accompanying drones and robots. The effort, known as the Main Ground Combat System, had been stagnant in recent years but will now enter an "operative" phase. The two countries will follow a similar management process as the Future Combat Air System, dividing national and industrial work shares. Military requirements for the tanks will be evaluated by the army chiefs of staff, and contractors will be allowed to offer competing systems based on a common turret and chassis.
