Very nice upgrade but Nicholas Drummond (you should follow his Twitter account...good stuff!) believes that they've taken so long to upgrade this beast that it would be better to piggyback onto German or US programs.
I'm sure that's to help increase affordability by leveraging economies of scale in both maintenance and ammunition.
What do you think?
