They have this large group of buildings where they
manufacture them. No shit.
They won't get ours until next year probably since we're going to make them custom for Ukraine.
Until then the leopards will do just fine and probably achieve a 10:1 kill ratio against the Russian's excuse for tanks. I think we'll probably wind up selling them some A-10s too. i used to work in a munitions factory that made ammo for them - you should see what they do at the test range to the armor used by Russian tanks.
I truly feel nothing but sorrow and pity for any troops that have face either if those systems...
You sure you were in the military?
How do you expect these tanks to make it more than a day without support?
sigh... I already answered this for you once - now pay attention when I'm talking, son, I won't always be here to help you through life ...
there will be plenty of support because Ukraine is a big time agricultural nation that abounds in farm families accustomed to maintaining complex ag equipment. By the time the Abrams are ready the diesel-powered Leopards will have already gone through the Russians like corn through a goose.
The Abrams will be nicely pre-positioned near where NATOs new eastern border will be.
