Probably yes, since your Abrams tank for example is equipped with a German gun and German chains. Did you know, that your "Strykers" are safe because of its German platings? The new US-gun "XM-8" is practically a German development. Not to speak about the Israelis, whose tanks could not move as long Germany doesn't deliver its RENCK transmissions. During some tensions between Germany and Israel Schroeders *ucking government holded back some of those gearboxes and the current MERKAVA production stopped for a while until Berlin decided to deliver again. Regardless of this irritation the new MERKAVA 4 is equipped with a German motor, a German transmission, a German cannon and German chains. There must be some reason for that.
Do you want more examples?
