Obat002 Poland

[Alpha]

well i know that leo powerpack can be changed very fast and also i believe his engine can be fueled with almosst everything.....i only wonder what are the advantages of the russian stuff against western ones ? it was always said that the maintenance and handling of eastern stuff is much better. that was one of the arguments against more expensive western (german) equipment compared to russian equipment ?

[PlasmaKrab]

Could be that maintenance and general use of western (German) equipment is more expensive, particularly for people used to Russian stuff.
Actually I heard that the Romanian army, which recieved a batch of some dozens of Gepard SPAAGs, had such a hard time and spent so much money running these that they refused a subsequent offer for a batch of Leopard2A4.
Has anyone better info on this?

i really wonder why we give away all the gepards and leos ?

why don´t we "mothball" them ?

who knows if we need them again, the world is not
a save place these days.

Well, poland recived the leos for a 10BKPanc - 10th armored cavalry brigade (do not moistake with US Armored Cav - ours is tank - only) because this unit is designated to be fully compatibile (? - not sure i'ts a right word, but you get the meaning ) with other NATO units.

Alpha, you give them away because it is the cheapest way. It can even bring you money back!
I don't know how the people concerned deal these things but I'm sure that maintenance, spares, technical assistance, formation and so on are "given away" as well... See my point?
Anyway it is always costlier to have some guys on duty guarding the mothballs and some others dusting them off form time to time, plus the paperwork, than shoving off the damn things for someone else to care!

Actually, the world may be no safe place, but you can consider (at least when you live in Germany, in some other places you can't) that it can be made somewhat safer when you have enough money.

Sorry for the off-topic digression, everyone!

1. i have only few money...

2. who knows what happens in the future... how says
( for example ) the russians are satisfied with their
current state ? it also seems they get friendly with china.
i may come some day we could need some more military stuff.

[MacGalin]

Yeah... but remember what country russians have to pass if they want to attack you...? Yup. Poland . And its lot better for Germany if the Red Bear would be stopped or at least slowed down seriously in Poland - so there. You should care for polish military - it benefits both sides... unless you think that we would be attacking you, or you want to attack us again .
