Romania locked in a $1.07 billion plan to buy M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams tanks. Officials call it a clean break from its aging Soviet stock.

Washington has alerted Congress to a possible $2.9 billion Foreign Military Sale that bundles fresh M1A1 Abrams tanks with a fleet-wide rebuild for every Saudi M1A2. The Royal Saudi Land Forces want fifty-eight surplus M1A1 hulls, plus the teardown and refit of the 315 M1A2s already in service. All 373 vehicles would emerge as a single “M1A2S” standard that folds Saudi-specific cooling, power, and fire-control tweaks into the U.S. Army’s own Abrams Integrated Management reset line.
