The Ministry of Defense of Germany is thinking about creating a new tank

German Ministry of Defense until the end of the year will begin to develop a concept for creating a new tankintended to replace Leopard 2, reports TSAMTO with reference to the journal Janes Differences Weekly.

The Ministry of Defense of Germany is thinking about creating a new tank


“It is assumed that the assessment will be conducted jointly with France. A bilateral project could help accelerate the planned merger of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and Nexter and form a new major European manufacturer of ground-based technology for the army Kant (Krauss-Maffei Wegmann And Nexter Together), ”the newspaper writes.

According to the source of the magazine, “when creating a successor to the Leopard-2, it is planned to use, among other things, the technologies developed under the program of the German Puma infantry fighting vehicle”. The development of the concept should be completed in 2018. The lifetime of the Leopard MBT will expire closer to 2030.

“It is not yet determined whether the new tank will be a completely new development or an updated version of the existing Leopard MBT. Nevertheless, the fact that the German Defense Ministry calls the national project "Leopard-2Ax" suggests that the German development will become the platform for the new machine, "the magazine notes.

The number of MBTs in Germany after the “cold war” was gradually reduced, but in April, Defense Minister Ursula Lyayen announced an increase in the tank fleet from 225 to 328 units (for comparison, the 2300 MBT was previously in service with the Bundeswehr).

    And we have already thought about them and created them. And time goes by, the clock is ticking. "Armata" will be tested, fine-tuned, will go to the troops, and the Germans will only complete the concept development in 2018. And it will take a lot of time before being embodied in iron. So, anyway, the Germans have already lost!

          They have only "jaguar" of the felines left, but this name is used by the Chinese for an export tank ... "Cheetah" is a hint that it will quickly run away, "lion" is too pretentious ... In general, die schwarze katze. ..

            They have a cheetah ZSU, and don’t need feline. Vaughn BMP in them Marder (Marten) is also called Nitsche.
            here it is necessary to give a name that reflects the essence (soul, totem) of the weapon. I already wrote about the hyena and the jackal above, but something else is also possible, for example, "Coffin" (after meeting Hermes), and the crew will be called not tankers, but "temporary residents". or "Diarrhea", but that will have to be called the Wehrmacht, after realizing that it is at war with Russia.

            And if you look without laughter, then the Germans and the French are quite capable of creating a third-generation tank. Another thing is that by the time of arrival in the part of the first machines, all of Russia will be rearmament in Almaty. So I believe in a solid and serious German-French tank of the third generation. But in huge quantities - no.

      That is yes. Seeing our scooter, Deutschland (and not only them) the toad crushed. They can certainly play a cool car, don’t say, but the Germans know how to make them, but for sure the toy will roll out into an indecent bunch of Euros, with extremely gadgets on them.
      Here’s the problem right away, the trickier the scooter, the more difficult and longer to prepare the crew, and not everyone is able to succumb to this training.
      There is a conclusion: they taught, they taught, they trained, they trained, and a high-explosive flew into the barracks, and ... the amba is no longer fighting vehicles, but a bunch of expensive iron.

            it’s just the operators of such equipment that the current education will give a greater chance to become, it’s not for nothing that the control goes through the joysticks like playstation.
            since operators and others do not need creative thinking, but an exam of the type should kill him.
            and to be honest on the exam say. since the exam is an EXAM. but NOT the learning process that has remained old (but the textbooks have become dull, but with stupid textbooks the youth will not become smart without the Unified State Exam). young people began to get stupid because of the availability of computers and tablets. for before the people had to read. since there was little interesting on the yashel, there were no computers and other things, and people read, read, and read again. and now, who the hell are you forcing to read the book, but everyone knows the computer games. what can I say. if peppers who are over 30 and 40 years old are driven into toys like youngsters. a lot of people who studied back in the USSR, when there was no USE really not very smart, yes, in general they are smarter than young people, but this is because they are older and more time they got something into the brain, that is, they are more experienced than smart . but how to talk for something falling out of the circle of their occupations, so oops, there’s nothing to talk about (only standard bazaars about drinking and bap).

      “German intelligence proceeds from the assumption that the tanks presented at the parade were prototypes, and that serial production will begin in a few years. "But when they are finally developed, it will be a tank of the highest tier," the article says "ria.ru, 22 May 2015

      The main thing is that they would be finalized and put into serial production. Then the headache is provided for them for a long time.

    The main thing is that the design of the new tank takes into account all the principles of gender equality and geytolerance inherent in modern Europe: a bidet for personal hygiene, a tank for petroleum jelly, a rear-view mirror and a compartment for cosmetic bags.

    It seems that the May 9 parade has become almost a leaven of yeast for the start of the "western arms race." Hopefully, this will lead to an effect more tangible for them than the US hoped for when it forced the USSR to chase its SDI plan. Russia did not impose this race on anyone, but logically took measures that exclude the imposition of someone else's will, which is why, according to the West, a "Russian threat" suddenly smelled in the air. Such a "militia" against Russia indicates either that the economic situation of the West is not as good as they are trying to talk about it, or that they feel the "smell of a ghostly victory", or they have completely put it in their pants and stopped it hesitate.
