Don,
Please
hold off on the
Polish LEOPARDS. Yes they got a handful in the beginning of the the Summer (
29 May 2020/2 MBT's). They just received some more to outfit in total, I believe a Companies worth. Still looking at implications to the
FCS. Will see a
TI/GSR increase to
45 I'm thinking at present. Trying to tie up a couple of "
loose ends" with these tanks.
Might as well "
dump" my folder on the topic now I suppose. These
don't include what I've already posted in this thread concerning development etc. Oldest to Newest...

Could have
12 by
years end.)

(Hope to have
7 more from Polish industry by the end of the year. Awaiting delivery of
6 from Germany "
as soon as possible".) (Total
now at 11 MBT's)
Looking hard at above ref. picture apparently taken at the factory. I'm specifically looking at the
Turret Top/Sides& Frontal armor as these saw improvement.
If they get at
least 4 more tanks from either source as noted from the last ref. this year, I recommend
START JAN 2021 if not,
START APRIL 2021.
We won't see it, but since
France and
Germany won't let
Poland in on their new tank, then maybe
Italy and
SPAIN will...

CINCLANTHOME will kick my xxx for this! (OK! it's more like
staying up until early in the morning, then what I said above.
Anyway off to bed, going to get "
fat" on THANKSGIVING Day Dinner at
lunch before work. Hopefully the
tryptophan won't make me sleepy on post, they don't like kind've thing where I work!?!
For those that do, have a
Happy Thanksgiving Day!
Regards,
Pat
