That training doesn’t have to be done in Ukraine. Could very well do it in Poland.

Poland has signed an agreement to buy 366 Abrams tanks anyway and has already had at least 7 delivered for training (maybe more by now).

German Tanks emblazoned with the Iron Cross rolling across Ukraine to take on Russian Tanks, haven’t we seen this movie before ??

That is the image that will spread around the world.

BOOM!

Any tank can go BOOM, the question is how many Russian BOOM's will these Leopards cause with their advanced thermal sights and excellent targeting system? Plus if it is damaged it has advanced crew protection, vs the T72's that act like jack-in-the-box.

“We are fighting a war against Russia”

Good for the Germans. The entire civilized world has been at war with Russia for centuries. Glad some are waking up to that truth.

Good for the Germans

And here we have another EU Piggy, cheering on a war that you will never participate in, except for typing away at your computer. Coward.

88 tanks will win the war for Ukraine! German super tanks can not be stopped. Nothing can stop them—Better yet 100 tanks. These new Tigers will eat up the RuZZian Wagnars convicts in a moment and turn the tide. Now if we can get them some atomic weapons! and poison Gas! That will break the Russian Orks and reclaim all lost Ukkkraine lands. Ukraine should be bigger than the old USSR.

Get up to date, Russian propagandists are now saying Russia is fighting satanism.

“We’re at war against the entire NATO bloc, against 50 Satanic countries…”

Are you writing this from a trench outside Bakhmut then?

Plus side is that it will be a good field test to see if the German tanks are any more effective than Russian tanks against modern anti-tank weapons.

Unlike you I'm an American citizen, living in America.

Please tell us again why Americans should listen to a foreigner like you when it comes to supporting Biden's war?

They’ve used a bit, but not much. I’d watch for that to increase as more things are sent. It’s sheer insanity what the west is doing. There are no good guys, but all the citizens are the losers.

No, I think that at the tactical level they were simply supposed to kill and maim enemy troops. I suspect that they’ve achieved that goal in Ukraine just as American thermobaric weapons achieved similar goals elsewhere.

Problem with them is the short range (10 km) makes them liable to drone attacks and counter artillery fire. Also, I believe only a small amount were manufactured.

This is BS! We all think that Europe should take care of itself, however, this Ukrainian war was instigated by the US. If Europe follows Biden and other war mongers like Graham and Mcfall, it could very well push Putin further into retaliating.

Why in the world do you think I’m not an American.

My ancestors have been here since the pilgrims.
