Well…not sure if you’ve been following the Ukraine invasion closely or at all, I have an I can’t figure out what the Germans are thinking…over the past week or so there has been conflict with them about supplying German made Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine to give them the advantage in armor since most of the tanks they have are old soviet designs from the 50′s and 60′s and the Leopard 2 is Germany’s most advanced tank… and Germany itself won’t have to give up one since this tank is used by almost all of the NATO countries and all of them have volunteered to send them to Ukraine…but, since the tanks are a German design, the Germans have the say where they can be deployed and they are dragging their feet…and they have said that they won’t approve that use until the US sends M1A1 Abrams tanks…but that doesn’t make any sense since only the US knows how to operate and repair the M1 while the Leopards can be repaired and Ukrainians can be trained right next door in Poland…so, I think we should call their bluff and take some of the hundreds of Abrams that are stored in Germany and send them to Ukraine for use as non mobile artillery pieces since the drive is the least reliable part of them and the most complex to keep running since it uses a jet engine to move it…it would just take too much time to get the logistics and training for the Abrams for them to be useful in less than a year and Ukraine needs armor now…so get off your butt Germany and release the Leopards…geez…
