  1. You're not very up to date on defence matters. German Leopards have been an export success ever since they started making them.

  2.  @prunabluepepper  You should listen to your neighbours. I grew up in Holland, and there was still the odd outburst of anti-German sentiment, as if for old times' sake, after which the queen had to go make amends so that Germans would still buy Dutch tomatoes. There's been none of that for a long time. Instead, the Netherlands has actively pushed for all manner of military co-operation with Germany, and even resorted to shaming Germany into action over Ukraine. There's something similar at play in Poland, their current populism notwithstanding. Tusk, during his tenure as Polish PM, famously called for Germany to adopt a more outspoken foreign policy, including investing in military rearmament. Boy oh boy, was he right.

  3. Sure, why not. Putin deserves it, although I think it's more likely that he'll slink away to a far corner of China, never to be heard of again.

  4. It would make more sense to build Panther KF51s for the UK, perhaps with the Challenger 3 Rheinmetall turret.
