Some might remember concerning the
tentative transfer of the German
LEOPARD 1A5 to the Ukraine, that one of the options could be to simply update the current
105mm L7A3 with the
120mm/L44.
That's old news as it was a simple modification that was tested and approved for operations with the
LEOPARD 1A6. Along with having the
same 120mm/L44 it was to have had also the
same FCS as the
LEOPARD 2.
But that was the problem they were ready to mass produce the same
LEOPARD 2. We all know how that ended.
Though again still currently being "
kicked around" for the Ukraine, the next makes me at least wonder if something else
might be afoot from a
totally non conspirial point of view.
Of all the platforms to choose from that are available they decided to mount the following on a
LEOPARD 1 NOW. What
impeccable timing.
