  2. Didn’t Romania also begin looking into buying M1s too? It’s about time given their MBT, the Bizonul is well just a modernized T-55 (or 62 I forgot). With a 100mm gun which is both weak and uncommon among allies, this is a no brainer.

  7. Nice! Looking forward to working with you, Romanian bros! Together we are unstoppable!
