Celebrated yesterday with a series of articles in the NZZ. The articles (in German) are not too exiting. But they include some nice fotos collections and a nice video about a Leopard 2 in training with many pic's from inside the tank.

Hi John

Swiss Armata buy? Ah, I see what you mean. Don't worry. The same article says, that they consider a new program to improve the battle  readiness of their Leopard 2. Of which Switzerland bought so many in the early 90's, that they will last for the next 100 years.

Funny side note: A few years ago, there was a plan to disband some of the Leopard 2 from duty and store them somewhere. Then it was found, that proper storing, with regular maintenance and all, costs as much as keeping the kittens in operation.
