  1. So, the Panzerhaubitze 2000, which can’t handle the rate of fire in this war, are already ripe for repairs. That doesn’t look well for German “quality”. Maybe that’s why Scholz refuses to send Leopards. They could be just as shoddy.
    Anyway, the mystery from last week is thus solved.

    • Maybe they can get LeClerc tanks from France. I’ve seen reports that said they are as good, if not better, than the Abrams.

    • Germany is not the country I knew back in the 60s. It had an Army worthy of the name then. Now it is neglected, other than for ceremonial purposes.

      • It’s not even the professionalism of the army it seems to be the population. They just don’t give a shit until it affects them then cry like babies.

      • No, Germany today is vastly different from back then. It’s basically turning into a stinking shithole. Most of its cities already are.
