Fracene has already been a producer of tank models, primarily the FA-22K and the FA-29K. Each tank has proven its worth on the battlefield and have more than earned their place in the military. Today, Verçois Dynamics has come out with a new model of tank. Based primarily off of the FA-22K and the M1 Abrams, Verçois Dynamics has designed the DG-77 and the DG-78. Each tank has its slight advantages and disadvantages. Though they are quite similar, they are also quite different.

The MG series has switched names to the DG series...

That is where you're wrong. Replacement cost is $4,300,000--

Also, when you divide the cost of Egypt's purchase of 555 M1's (3.2 billion) the M1's come out to almost 6 million per tank. The MG-77's and 78's are much cheaper. Please keep that in mind.
