Decommissioned IST-02 tanks being refitted

With the release of newer IST-03 tanks, IST-02 tanks (M60A3) are being refitted for a new life under a new designation and design: the IST-02E1

The IST-02E1 replaces the tank's turret with an armored module containing Microwave/Radio Jamming Equipment. The emitter dish on the tank will broadcast Microwave/Radio inteference across a broad-spectrum of frequencies over a 5-km range (and in an arc of 90 degrees in front of the tank). The vehicle retains all other characteristics of the IST-02, but it only has a 50 caliber machine gun for defense (accessable by the commander).

The vehicle will cost $1,500,000 and will be available for sale after the UnAPS-Allanea conflict.

An interesting concept, to say the least...Serengarve wishes to purchase some of these innovative tanks before they are all sold, or will they be mass-produced? In any case, we wish to pre-order 500, for a total price of $750,000,000.

European Union Spain would like to pre-order 300 IST-02E1 tanks to prevent armor shortage in case the Civil War in The Principality of Democratic free people gets out of control.
