100 #Leopard1A5 is good news for #Ukraine, even if it is significantly older than the Leopard 2A6 and a (serious) step below the 2A4. It is however in some ways what Ukraine needs.
The bad news is that Leopard 1 is old, and the prime example is the main armament: the legendary 105 mm Royal Ordnance L7. Once the finest tank gun of the west and fitted to a host of different tanks, it is by now (as are rifled 105 mm guns in general) outdated.
However, on the positive side, so are a lot of the potential targets on the battlefield in Ukraine. The T-62 and T-64 are roughly of the same generation, and a lot of the T-72 running around are not the latest and greatest T-72B3M, but Cold War relics.

Près de 10 millions € pour #EmiratsArabesUnis. La même année, @amnestybe indiquait que "De graves violations des droits humains ont encore été commises par les autorités tout au long de l’année".
Sur leur territoire, mais aussi au Yemen et en Libye.
