With the end of 80's Polish Armed Forces start to work on concept of new MBT that would replace T-72 tanks. It was the worst time for any defense programs, with collapse of Warsaw Pact, political changes in country and grim economical situation work on new project move slowly and hesitantly. The more or less official name was Goryl (Gorilla) but in 1995 name was changed to Anders (after Władysław Anders, commander of armored formations in WWII) but that name never appear in official documentation. After some ups and downs, politician statements without substance and general lack of foundings program was canceled. The nail in the coffin was very high estimated cost of single tank that was more than two times higher than cost of PT-91.

FD style but not in shipbucket style rules and template. No need to remove it in to Non-Shipbucket drawings part if it is already here.
