UK Army Pursues Tank Modernization, Aims to Diversify Suppliers

The UK Army has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to overhaul its T-72 tanks, signalling a strategic move to reduce reliance on Russian suppliers. This initiative aligns with the military's broader objective to diversify its sources for essential equipment and strengthen national security. The RFI outlines key modernization requirements, paving the way for potential collaborations with international manufacturers. The move not only aims to enhance the operational efficiency of the T-72 fleet but also contributes to the UK's broader geopolitical and defence strategy.
