  1.  @thomasstevenhebert  Sure but its the same thing as with all the other bespoke stuff being sent. It uses a custom round that has limited stocks. I suspect the French aren't going to crank up production and even if they did it wouldn't be over night. Its like the Gepards, retired system, but then people complain there aren't warehouses full of ammunition to suit it.

  2.  @thomasstevenhebert  I suspect French training / peace time consumption rates are a bit lower than Ukrainian operation war expenditure rates, but I guess we'll see. I just fear we are going to end up with a bunch of Western kit scattered around the battle space with no ammunition or parts, let alone people qualified to repair them.

  3.  @thomasstevenhebert  Yes I appreciate the difference in the ammunition nature. For example we mostly use "PRAC" APFSDS, but there are occasions during the training cycle where we use "Service Sabot" too. Anyway I'll guess we'll find how much depth there is to the French logistic support organisation in due course.

  4. What next, will they send the MILANs too, that attach to the Crew Commander's hatch?

  5.  @randyraudi7725  I suspect Germany doesn't have vast quantities of those in storage.
