They exist and may be in Ukraine now or at least soon. It is unlikely every one in existance is going to Ukraine

Has there been a big parade marking their full acceptance ?
No.

Does it mean they are rolling through the backroads of Germany
No

The bottom line is it is likey all that exist are not going to Ukraine for "advanced evaluation" and while I could leave them out until more info is found the chances of me adjusting in service dates in 3 years is just about minus zero so they are going in with a guesstimate date. Because unless they go to Ukraine and a glaring issue is going keep it from being produced further it's going to be part of the German inventory sometime in the next 2-3 years. The vehicle platform and the turret are both proven and tested
