Does this LEO 2A7+ discussion have anything to do Posts 309 (Bottom of.) and 310? To get to the root of this issue also Pg. 9/Post 84 Item A6 (I was just there in looking for the Post # those KMW links are dead w/404 Error Code.) will be important as this drove the original submission I think. But I offered what I think happened in the previous two posts noted. Also within the last two weeks the German Govt. voted not to sell any military equipment to Saudi Arabia. I had already posted on the fact (w/refs.) that the much discussed deal of the purchase of 200 LEOPARD 2A7+ was killed by the Govt. about a year ago or more now. Except for the JANE'S article in the bottom of Post 309, not much on this.

Refs we didn't have at the time but in the quick...they can be armed with either the 7.62mm/40mmGL or 7.62mm/12.5mm secondary armament...

Qatar is supposed to get ~200 of these tanks next year late.

When was the LEOPARD 2A7+ put in the OOB?

Back sort of, nothing an excellent day/night in Savannah/a surprise room upgrade/a very good dinner/a fine Irish folk singer and a handful of "Imperial Pints" couldn't cure to clear my head and doing it with CINCLANTHOME-Priceless.

Regards,
Pat
