[In September, American media](https://defence24.pl/industrial/prototypes-czolgu-new-generation-trapped-to-us-army-in-2026) reported a crucial acceleration of work on a fresh generation tank referred to as M1E3 (after being deployed, it would take the name M1A3, suggesting the modernisation of well-known Abrams, although it would no longer have much in common). Thus, by 2026, 4 prototypes would scope the US Army. According to the current plan, the first series tanks are to enter service in 2031.
