Of course they have to phase the Leopard out, they got a monster to run in the Abrams.

Although this is very unlikely but it is still worth a thought. Is there any chance that the Leopard 1 tank parts is compatible with that of the Leopard 2 tank?
-
if it is...i wont be surprise that SG buys them in for parts..
I remembered during my NS time. SAF bought a lot of 2nd hand rover from NZ for a very small token price.. -
Not a big chance... the two tanks are words apart, like asking if the M60 Patton can share parts with the M1 Abrams...Originally posted by tankee1981:Although this is very unlikely but it is still worth a thought.

i wonder if mr singa bising got anything to say about this?
-
For crying out loud, the Leopard 1 and 2 are very very different vehicles. Why would we want Leopard 1 parts for our Leopard 2s?

From the article. The tank below is the Leopard 1. -
LOL, LRRP seems to be mistaking the Leopard 1 for being the same as the Leopard 2, when they are actually a generation apart...Originally posted by LRRP:if it is...i wont be surprise that SG buys them in for parts..

Leopard 1:
Leopard 2:
The two designs were introduced about 14 years apart, I'm not sure how many parts they share, if any.
But don't feel too bad, people can get tanks mixed up at times but I doubt they can go to the extent of lionnoisy can't tell the difference between an AMX-13 and an M113. -

*Rolls out heavy tank with multiple rail guns* -
Well if Straits Times reporters can constantly refer to M-16s or MP5s as machine guns, I guess its forgivable for a noob here to mistake a M113 for a tank.

LOL, to call lionnoisy a noob will be an insult to all noobs. At least noobs learn from their mistakes and improve, but lionnoisy just keeps on drawing from the depth of his ignorance and shows no real sign of improvement in his knowledge of military affairs whatsoever.Originally posted by sgf:Well if Straits Times reporters can constantly refer to M-16s or MP5s as machine guns, I guess its forgivable for a noob here to mistake a M113 for a tank.
I kinda like the way he said losing your personal weapon is an acceptable, and unavoidable part of NS... lol, has he even served before?
