German weapon systems are hopelessly overrated. The Leopard 2 in particular, for whatever reason. The tank has so many problems and flaws that I wonder why anyone would consider it the "best tank". The armor is way too weak - because they wanted to save money to be able to manufacture and sell the tank cheaply. The armor corresponds to the technology of the 1960s and is probably not even superior to the T72. Unprotected ammunition is stored in the hull - one hit and it explodes. Also reminiscent of the T72 of the Russians. The range of the gun is rather short compared to other Western tanks. The only advantage of the Leopard 2 is the low price - it costs a lot less than Challenger or Leclerc or K2. That's the only reason this outdated tank was bought like crazy. In Ukraine, it would suffer similar losses as the T72 - because the Leopard is no better than that. The Ukrainians only want the L2 because 20 states use it and therefore many are available. Understandable, but no proof of quality. Germany would be well advised not to buy the next tank from the incompetent German manufacturers who have already sold the next heap of scrap with the Puma. However, the Germans are absolutely incapable of learning and believe that they always have "the best" device. By the way, I'm German and can only shake my head at this stupid attitude. Poland is absolutely right to buy the K2. Probably far superior device.
