Germany’s new main battle tank “KF51 Panther”

[Viet]

The new tank offers more firepower, more protection, more mobility than the world most powerful tank Leopard 2.

Looks amazing with a futuristic look about it. The movement and firepower are impressive.
Now that is how to build a tank.

It is difficult to find a country outside Germany to order it, because of the prices.
Also, the transfer of German know-how to other countries, such as South Korea and Turkey, turned a bumper to the Germans, resulting in the loss of contracts and clients.
Greece, which is the country with the most Leopards in Europe, is talking about upgrading the older Leo and producing new IFV Lynx only.

Nice Tank
but Tanks are so easy targets against UCAV War concept


$10.000 Turkish MAM-T laser guided munition to turn $10 million most modern Tank into crap of metal from 30 km away

looks good..

a) will germany buy any ??? or they expecting to just sell this to others?
b) what will become of the french-german eurotank now?
c) is it just a new turret?
d) how many countries will "now risk" buying this given germany's recent decisions/lack of approvals over supplying their weapons to ukraine - ..

I think Leopard 2 looks better. The new designs, like new Hollywood movies, simply lack taste.

It says some eastern european countries want to buy it. However the German tank army has the first privilege to get it.

the Panther comes with anti drone protection... it will clear the sky quickly of cheap drones and if a drones gets a missle fired the Panther has a hard kill system finishing the ATGM befor it get hit
