"...transition from the current 120mm to a 140mm gun."

Yikes!

A reasonably good MBT cost 5 million to buy and a million a year to run. A military grade antitank weapon costs 20 thousand. Every generation of tanks gets heavier armor and more sophisticated self-protection systems at greater cost. Every year antitank weapons get cheaper with greater range and easier-to-operate aiming systems. You do the math.
