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].
