Default Panther - Rheinmetall presents successor to Leopard-2

https://www.focus.de/finanzen/boerse...107962616.html

^ Video.

Kittycat has a 130mm cannon, autoloader, drone, autonomous turret. Seems to base on the earlier introdcued lighter vehicle Lynx, but this now is an MBT without doubt, weighing 59tons.

They say its a coup because the German-French cooperaiton on a joined new tank is in a dead end since years and does not move back or forth. So does the project of a shared Eurofighte replacement, which just got delayed from 2040 to 2050. These are not the first such cooperation attempts between both countries that failed.


Rheinmetall started work on this project in direct reply to the Russian Armata tank, which is said to be superior to the Leopard-2.


I have one question - how much coins?


Just days ago I have red somewhere that the British Challenger-3 also is getting the new Rheinmetall cannon. With that they really should be able to finally gte rid of Johnson.
