I think the T-100Z should have been the dreams come true vehicle, the KV-7 is cool but its not grand enough for the anniversary, at least compared to the the previous ones.
Its based on the T-100 tank and uses the same 152mm cannon as the KV-2 for its primary weapon, the secondary turret housed a 45mm cannon.
Both the hull and turret were made but were never used together, it was instead used as a pillbox in Leningrad. But going from the last anniversary tanks this would not be much of a problem as both the hull and turret stats are known and have even seen action.

I’d say Israel since it’s jointly developed by IAI intended for the Turkish Army, while the Russian Army wasn’t interested in it
Besides there are other options the USSR can have in terms of squadron vehicles

It’s a Kamov and prototypes are in Russia, Israel also wasn’t interested in it.
It belongs in the Soviet tree regardless.
If the case Israel should get it because they put some avionics in it then the T-72AV should be in the Italian tech tree because of it also had Italian tech.

I’m trying to do research here but i can’t find crap, just like 1 reddit post about it that was rather empty
Edit: think i found it, is it about the F-16 GCAS?
Also found this pic with a logo of the project
It’s a F-16A that Sweden acquired for testing. It was to fill the role of JAS, but they decided for a domestic product, the Gripen. There’s minimal info on it though.
It’s not VN-22, seems a new chassis, and the turret is like a model, possibly a 105mm
VN-22 is distinguishable for it’s front

ah gotcha, the GCAS seems to be a block 25 F-16D so def way different versions
🇷🇺 T-90M Arena-M, A Work In Progress
One of the first seen elements of the Arena-M on a T-90M.
The element seen is one that’s installed on the turret cheek.
A regular T-90M on the production line.

- For more information on how it works, see the suggestion of the T-72B3A, which has a fully working Arena-M system installed on a T-72B3 obr. 2016:

Looks a lot like the tridon.
Honestly I’m kinda surprised how fast the implementation on production floor is made. I expected for them to roll out next year and not just few months after they being ordered

The Ox Box.
The Airspeed Oxford is an overllooked type, not surprising as only 8,851 were built and served with the air arms of a mere 24 countries.
It served mainly as a crew trainer and transport alongside rhe Avro Anson, but if required the Mk.I could sport 1x MG in a dorsal turret, plus 4x light stores carriers for 16x 20lb bombs. A few aircraft also flew coastal patrolls employing stores with a little more bite.
Although it didn’t, it was very much capable of mounting it. I personally wouldn’t have a problem with adding such ERA if gaijin would be willing to finally bump it up to 11.0 where it belongs.

hoping for AESA in some form, preferably F15C with an/apg 63v2 as a starter
Those are Kontakt-1 mount points, not Kontakt-5. Pretty useless ERA.
ERA nonetheless, which is better than no ERA. I would gladly take it on my tank given the marginally higher weight.
