WARSAW, Poland — The Commission for Defense, Public Order and National Security in Romania’s Chamber of Deputies, the parliament’s lower chamber, has approved the National Defence Ministry’s request to allow the purchase of **54 used M1A2 Abrams SEPv3** tanks from the United States.
SEPv3s are the newest model in service today, that’s an excellent tank for Romania.
Look like we got one of the most modern variants, so overall a pretty good acquisition. We’d need another ~200 to completely replace the severely outdated TR-85 variants in service, and there have been some rumors that there might be another future acquisition to that effect.
