The original was taken from a colleague andrei_bt in From the history of KAZAn interesting historical fact from the times of friendship between the USA and the Russian Federation [in the 1990s].

GDLS [General Dynamics Land Systems] proposed to integrate the Arena active protection system into M1A2 Abrams with the assistance of the Russian Design Bureau KBM [Engineering Design Bureau]. GDLS planned to sell the Arena to the Turkish army and the US Army, depending on the approval of the US government.

This is how Abrams from KAZ Arena could look like. The times of friendship between Russia and the USA of the 90s.

There were similar plans with the installation on the German Leopard 2.

German-Russian plans for the integration of the arena at Leopard-2. In those years, the Arena was really a complex that had no competitors. Many years have passed since then, the arena has remained at about the same level of the 90s, and a lot of things have appeared in the world.
