Article hints that the Uke's no longer have confidence in Leopards and are even adding ERA (Explosive Reactive Armor) to the Abrams.

"The Germans, meanwhile, say that Ukraine no longer has any operational Leopard series 2 tanks; those that were broken down or salvaged from the battlefield have been sent off to Estonia for repairs.But Estonia does not have spare parts to fix them, so they are rusting in marshalling yards."

#4  Skor make their own tanks. They used US prior. Now their old M1* copy may have used a Rheinmetal tube which would account for the ammo type. * initial models of the M1 were equipped with 105mm guns.

#3  That may be a Disney request to keep Amber Heard too busy to comment on the film.

Came across something, and I still have it in the rumor pile, that a bunch (100-200) of old Leopards 'got found' and were slated for Ukraine but the only player on the team who still uses that retired ammo is South Korea; anyone here anything about this?

#2  There was a story yesterday about the Norks firing a couple hundred rounds of artillery off their west coast. I assume that means into the ocean.

Perhaps Aquaman has filed a protest with the UN.
