Russian arms exports soar 22%
Russia exported military equipment worth an estimated $4.15 billion in 2000, slightly below the target of $4.3 billion but up 22% from 1999's exports of $3.4 billion, an informed military official told Jane's Defence Weekly.

Long-tube tank gun development nears end
The system-level demonstration of an L55 120mm smoothbore cannon integrated aboard a US Army M1A2 Abrams tank was due to terminate by the end of this month (January), following completion of firing trials at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Two L55 cannon were evaluated: one from Rheinmetall of Germany and the M256E1 from the US Army's Watervliet
Arsenal.
Вот только что обсуждали. Но насколько мне известно, с М256Е1 возникли осложнения.
