    In general it must be seen that Rheinmetall is pretty new in tracked vehicle development. They did Marder decades ago and several subsystems for PzH, Puma, Leopard etc. So it not surpising that they performed not as good as their marketing tries to tell. I think it is easy to see that KMW (in the combined projects of PzH, Puma, Leopard etc.) did the areas where Rheinmetall has issues now - such as drive line and chassis. In addition to the wrong choice of Lynx's engine. Besides that, it is good that they are finally starting to become a real tracked vehicle manufacturer (which is possible due to Hungary) but it will take some years until they are where they want to be.

    Could be Green Lantern VS Superman. Nothing possible to see at all.

    I have read that an ACSV is 1.5 million € compared to 6 million € for a Boxer which was why this was chosen. Is this true?

    Might be that support vehicles are included as well.

    Well that is how German government destroys German tank industry.

    MEXAS comes from IBD. I can only partly understand the German but Google translate works https://de-academic.com/dic.nsf/dewiki/949102 There are some references. Maybe you find what you are looking but I am sure @SH_MM knows everything about it.

    I thought Polish Krab was based on K9 but wouldn't make sense to buy K9 then but great to see that Poland takes current situation serious and becomes no. 1 military power in Europe.

    Let the Norwegians decide what is best. I trust that based on their call that it will be objective decision.

    The 14 2A4s and 1 Buffel are coming from from Rheinmetall as I have heard. Are they aiming for some Leo2 Revo/Evolution or are they are looking for 2A7s?

    My suggestion would be that Spain does a "Ringtausch" with Germany. Spain delivers 40 Leopard 2A4 to Germany that can be upgraded to 2A7 in the next years and Germany delivers some 100 Leopard 1A5 to Ukraine.

    Sounds roughly like the same amount that Hungary will get.

    German bashing is becoming sports. Truth is no-one needs MGCS to fight T-72 or T-90. All neighbours are flying F-35 so why should they wait some additional 20 years to fly FCAS? I would have taken the same decisions as they did.

    No problem with Leo 1 spares. Greece has many, Turkey as well but we have plenty of spare parts in DK, too (we still take them out once per year for some hot rounds). I am pretty sure you will find many parts in stocks in Norway as well ;-).
