Good
news seems to be an understatement when this development took place.
The
Philippine Army under the Armor Division of the Armed forces of the
Philippines has chosen the Israel-based Elbit System’s Sabrah light tank series after
the latter won the bidding for the Philippine Army Light Tank Acquisition
Project under the current Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) modernization
program.

The Isreal made Sabrah light tank series is armed with 105 mm turret.
The tracked variant is using ASCOD as platform, while the wheeled variant uses
the Pandur II.
According to Elbit, “The Sabrah
light tank series is based on a tracked or wheeled platform, as part of Elbit
Systems’ global cooperation with tier-one military platform manufacturers.”
“Due to ongoing development and
technology insertion, the ASCOD offers advanced protection and mobility, large
internal volume at very compact ddimensions, and a large payload at low GVW,”
Elbit said. “The chasis provides the ASCOD with its mobility/mine protection
characteristics and acts as the interface for all other primary subsytems.”
“The Pandur offers a unique
solution of wheel suspensions characterized by robus chassis components,
optimum riding comfort and minimum maintenance effort,” Elbit noted.
Under
the winning bid, the Armor Division of the Armed forces of the
Philippines will be receiving a number of tracked and wheeled light tanks.
