Bid samples are due by 6 September, so maybe we'll hear something late this year, or early 2018.
The purchase is for "up to 50,000" so the actual buy could be less than that number.
My understanding is that the ICSR would go to select infantry units, probably first issue would be to units facing Russki troops.
