Norway to purchase 54 Leopard 2A8 NOR Main Battle Tanks.


Mighty Estonia meanwhile is making its own purchases to compliment the HIMARS MLRS' systems it has on order from the United States. This includes 36 K9 155mm Self Propelled Howitzers from South Korea and Harpy Drones from Israel.

I've seen the future...
NATO should NEVER deploy this ABOMINATION on any battlefield.
It clearly broken ALL rules of Geneva Convention !

Why not? Since it's a GUNDAM tank one of the MPF's secret abilities will be to make all it's opponents start jumping and dancing and grinding around erratically.

Recent combat losses haven't impacted the Leopard 2's reputation despite social media propaganda/disinfo/trollings best efforts.

The Czech Republic (along with other European countries) are also looking into getting their hands on Leopard 2A8 Main Battle Tanks and even opening new production lines for them.

Again, it should be mentioned that they have taken more beating and survived then any Soviet block tank.
And that the crews have much higher chance of walking out of a damaged of destroyed vehicle, and with them the training (both the general one for the use of armored vehicles under NATO doctrine and the specialized one for the operation of Leopards 2) and experience they can use as soon as a replacement vehicle is assigned to them.

Yes.Soviets during WW2 mass produced both tanks and crews for tem - so they built tanks after WW2 to follow that doctrine.
Sad thing/for them/ - they could no longer do that.

Twitter Thread Discussing the Increased Production of Artillery Ammunition, Specifically 155mm Ammunition by the United States and several European Union Countries. The United States is expected to ramp up production of 155mm ammunition up to 90,000 shells a month or just over a million a year and includes investments in modernizing factories, increased work schedules, and even new production facilities both in the United States and in Canada (for certain components) as well as privately owned US factories manufacturing shells.

Rheinmetall is currently producing 450,000 shells per year but that will increase to 600,000 by next year including a new facility in Australia which is expected to produce 100,000 shells annually. CSG/Czechslovak Group expects 100,000+ per annum with 150,000 shells per annum in about two years. Saab states it realistically could ramp up production to 400,000+ shells by 2025. BAE Systems says it can ramp up production several times over, to an estimated 250-300,000 shells per year. Poland's PGZ/Dezamat states it could ramp up production from 30-50,000 shells per year to 200,000 up until 2029 under current funding levels. And finally NAMMO says it could ramp up production from its current 10-20K up to 200,000 per year by 2028 if all goes as planned.

Thus between the United States and these six European arms manufacturers, an estimated two and a half million 155mm shells could be produced in the coming years.


Poland to purchase 20-32 Si-70i Black Hawk Helicopters (Polish military version) in the coming years. This will complement its new purchases of 32 AW149 Multi-Role Helicopters and 96 Apache Helicopter Gunships.



Italy planning on acquiring five new SAMPT-NG Air Defense Batteries for the Italian Air Force using lots of indigenous Italian technology and production.

Europe's basically re-arming itself. Russia has essentially created the exact scenario it was trying to prevent by being warmongering orcs.

The irony.
They did it.Either they have secret plan to take over world when we think that they are gone,or they are China agents.
And enlarged NATO too.
Go Putin!
Have faith in Germany and Macron.Both want Poland weak.And maybe they manage to achieve that noble goal.
