The Dutch have signed a contract to field a Battalion of
LEOPARD 2A8 (46 Units) with an option for another 6 units.
" Allies are expected take delivery of the
first new Leopard 2A8 battle tanks rolling off
reactivated KNDS production lines end-2025, the state secretary said.
" probably
closer to early 2026 as Germany will also be getting these tanks.

I would hope in the meantime the Netherlands will have in the OOB the
LEOPARD 2A6M2 as posted this past February in
Page 176/Post 1751 with the following NEW End 2030 or until
fully equipped with the LEOPARD 2A8.
Germany is treaty bound (And other documents.) to
release those tanks to the Netherlands for defense of their country. Those tanks are assigned to the joint German and Dutch armored unit
414 Tank Battalion (German: Panzerbataillon 414; Dutch: 414 Tankbataljon. currently.
Been suggesting it from the start when they were getting rid of their tanks, I'm glad the Netherlands didn't let me down. Well Don to with the new games
END Date!!
