Well apparently, not everyone is sold on the K2 in Europe.

Norway now joins Hungry (And one other I can't remember right now.) in down selecting the LEOPARD 2A7 (EXPORT).

The initial order will be for 54 tanks to be designated as the LEOPARD 2A7NO (Of course what else.) with the option for an additional 18 more units.

Like with Hungry (They've only received the LEOPARD 2A4 training tanks.) there is NO TIMELINE set for delivery.

The good news I submitted the EXPORT LEOPARD 2A7/2A7V so we're tank ready to just "plug in and play" when we know something.

If it wasn't for the war, I'd say we'd see these before games end.

I think now it'll be "touch and go" but from my perspective building them wouldn't have been a wasted effort.

TGIF!

Regards,
Pat
