Scrap heap?
Sell them to collectors!
I’ll take one, for sure.
How much do they want for them? I betcha some good ol boys could make them into bulldozers in less than a beer fueled weekend.
A good item for an Organized Civilian Militia. Give the left something else to cry about the 2nd Amendment.
Very pricey to maintain.
But, yes, sell them to collectors.
Surprised the Obama EPA didn’t pick some up to deal with those pesky ranchers.
Free shipping and I’m in.
Storage might be a problem here in the burbs.
I hope the owners manual is included.
The Kurds in Afrin destroyed 43+ (last number I saw) of the Leopard 2 tanks with Konkurs ATGM’s. I saw videos of the ammo stores igniting in full fireball.
That will certainly destroy your day.
Read that Erdogan was frantic to get upgrade armor packages for them.
And there are reports of previously losing 50 tanks to ISIS in Al Bab. I read that some of that was caused by very poor strategy in the entry of the city.
Wouldn’t it be fun to see them on Amazon or eBay?
Get me an end user certificate and free delivery and we could talk.
“Scrap heap?
Sell them to collectors!”
My EXACT first thought also.
Why scrap them and get nothing? Some well-heeled US collectors would LOVE to own one.
Can you imagine how cool it would be to drive one of these babies? And maybe even fire off a couple of rounds?
The ultimate Man Toy.
I’ll take a few. And start a taxi service with the moto: “Nothing will stop us from getting you there on time. Nothing.”
Targets on the range like the Sherman ,LOL
Maybe they should call Bruce Dickinson. Although, he might already have one.
Obviously they haven’t made a call to Texas. They do have to be able to fire rounds though.
I’d love to try it.
Sure the commission would be adequate.
I have some seat time in an Abrams.
I used to be an MVPA member and some of the guys had really nicely done old military vehicles.
No armor.
The group could but it would have to be donated and from outside the US as it was explained to me.
I haven’t been to a meeting in a couple of years. Other stuff. I should get the magazine again. It is good reading.
The Bundeswehr can't/won't maintain their own Leopard 2's, coupled with the poor performance in combat by the Turk Leopard 2's selling or even giving away any version of the Leopard is a tough sell. Bad decisions by both the Canadian and Australian politicians. They should have danced with them that brought them to the dance, the Gringos.
Honest Abe’s just down the road takes trade-ins. And his prices are innnnnnnsaaaaaaaaane!
