European Heaven: The French are the chefs, the Italians are the waiters, the Germans run the trains and the British are the police.

In the French Army, the Officer and NCO messes have excellent cuisine. The other ranks are fed swill. One of many reasons why the last French battlefield victory was in 1809.

Combining superb German technology ...

That would be the export model only.

For domestic use, the Euros are going for the T-72 with the optional cardboard turret. Primarily for static display, due to budget constraints.
