The Philippines is buying eight tracked and ten 8x8 wheeled versions.
Sabrah is also available as an 8x8 wheeled armored vehicle. The Sabrah was built to do what a modern light tank is good for reconnaissance and infantry support. The Harimau was not designed as a light tank and is an older design. Sabrah apparently won because it was the latest light tank design and, unlike the Arma-105 and K21-105, was not just a IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) with the addition of a larger turret containing a 105mm gun. The competition included the Indonesian Harimau medium tank, the South Korean K21-105 and the Turkish Arma 105. The Philippines Army has been shopping for eighteen light tanks and has apparently selected the new Israeli Sabrah.
