Hmm, Navantia?

The groups trying to ally with (ISIS) are feverishly trying to comply with requirements that have been set for them to be validly a part (of ISIS), which they have not been able to.

Pretty much to answer my own question, i strongly believe cost would have the main deciding factor instead of technological factors.

i think another issue would be how our army doctrine works?

i think the higher ups have thought that we dont need heavy MBTs, instead relying more on cheaper medium MBTs?

on the outlook, yeah it does. but on the other side, theyre being realistic after all

Russian economy is in the red after all, so it's understandable if they'd rather have hard cash than palm oil right now

Also, if we say, want to pay 100 million dollars in palm oil, we might had go give them 110 million dollars worth of palm oil to sweeten the pot as well as to compensate fluctuating commodity prices

SOTF examples of the MP7 were seen with a silencer and an EOTech or Trijicon red-dot sight mounted on a Picatinny rail.

Shephard understands that the MP7 was inducted by the SOTF in the last 1-2 years, although they also use the FN Herstal P90 depending on the type of operations. The unit also prefers the HK416 assault rifle, which comes in 10-inch and 14-inch barrel versions, and the smaller-calibre FN Five-SeveN as its sidearm.

ST Kinetics has also developed a Compact Personal Weapon, with conversions for either 9mm, 5.7mm or 4.6mm rounds. Shephard understands that the weapon is currently under production.

Sand bag and stuff in some body armor plate could be effective.
Wood not much effect at all, I dun think it can stop 9mm.

there is a pic circulating saying that these ph army "cardboard armor" defeated an rpg warhead 
highly doubt it as at/heat warhead blast and pressure alone would blown off the cardboards or set it on fire
its either a dud or a 50cal/gpmg hit instead, just kinetic energy and splinters, no fire and pressure effect seen

provided it is at a stand-off distance, not slapped directly on top of the hull (as in this case ), in which the wood probably does nothing in terms of protecting against HEAT warheads .
