Why doesn't Tunisia literally just ask for money to finance something as Egypt and Morocco have done. KSA just gave them like 830 million dollars which is a very big amount for general things. Militaries are important today and Tunisia really needs to modernize with new acquisitions such as attack helicopters, jets, tanks, IFVs,APCs, modern ATGMs such as FGM-148 Javelin. I think this is exactly what they should do replace their M60 Pattons, the M113s should be augmented or replaced with vehicles such as LAVs which provide a much bigger hitting power, the AML-90s should be replaced by B1 Centauros for recon and direct fire. If they could replace these three mechanized battalions with newer vehicles they would have a fairly modern fighting force. I'm honestly not sure if they have enough money to finance this but the could as I stated before ask the Saudis to finance it and increase their relations with them.
