Seems a little strange considering their refusal to provide M1 Abrams tanks from their stockpile as these have depleted uranium armor.
Maybe there are way more secrets in making armor with depleted uranium (and certainly other things layered in) than just shaping a shell with it?
They'll receive their first 14 M1A1 by Sept. 25. I don't think any foreign countries get the reactive armor except for the US.
The UK.
