Germany to sell tanks to Saudi Arabia: report
(AFP) – 8 hours ago
BERLIN — Germany has allowed the sale of 200 Leopard tanks to Saudi Arabia after decades of blocking heavy weapons sales to the kingdom, the Der Spiegel said Saturday.
The federal security council approved the sale last week, the weekly news magazine said without citing sources.
The Saudis want to buy 200 Leopard 2A7+ tanks in an order potentially worth billions of euros to companies Kraus-Maffei and Rheinmetall, Der Spiegel said.
The kingdom was in talks with the Spanish subsidiary of General Dynamics about buying their version of the Leopard tank, but the major portion of the order will land with the Germans, the magazine said.
Since the 1980's, Germany has blocked the sale of Leopard 2 tanks to Saudi Arabia, afraid the equipment would be used against Israel.
The Saudis are also in talks with US companies for 60 billion dollars worth (41 billion euros) of defence equipment that would become the largest US contract ever.
The order is to include 84 new F-15 fighter jets and 178 combat helicopters.

Why not? After all, SA is another shining example of uncle sam's democracy! We should all cheer and say 'hail Marry'.

Or how leak the disturbing truth... Not between us. Please just a little serious my friend.

Can you provide any argument?

It's just extremely funny.

Its fact. Abrams has fully separated ammo and better armor.

SA is diversifying their needs which is clever , i hope they get Altay tank , and as time goes on we will upgrade them and even maybe give them selling rights as we develop Altay 1 , 2 ,3 etc

 

[Serpentine]

These are a safeguard against Iran if it tries to get unpredictable anytime. What are you expecting Saudis to do with them? Invade Israel with German weapons? That would mean immediate clampdown on the supply of these weapons again.

Since when Iran and Saudi Arabia share borders?Maybe they want to move these tanks through Persian Gulf? It is like Iran buying tanks to defend itself especially against Japan.Doesn't make any sense
It's is very welcome if some members think a little bit before posting here.

I know Iran is weak, but don't you think we will need tanks when we liberate Ahwaz after we conquer Baghdad?

Love your imagination.

 

[OrionHunter]

Good! But who's manning all these weapon systems that SA is importing, like there's no tomorrow? Do Saudis like operating in 50 degree Celsius environments considering that they're used to the good life?
