Third generation NATO tanks, mid-to-late eighties and early nineties. Useful for Cold War what-ifs and 1991 Gulf War.

United States of America - M1 and M1A1 Abrams

United Kingdom - Challenger 1 (Mk.2 ?)


Having the above would complement the US and UK NATO models already available, and provide 3rd Gen. tanks to go up against the Soviet 2nd Gen. T-62, T-64, (and to be released T-72) tanks.
Someone will probably ask for the Soviet T-80 3rd Gen. tank, I'd imagine.
Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"
