1. It’s proven that they need more AA then ever before. I’m assuming this will be an improved Gepard. Love it

2. The SkyRanger is badass, big upgrade from the Gepard. Using the Leo1 hull is great idea as many of those are already lying around

3. Hint: don’t use Swiss ammo.

   NGL wood.

5. I’m gonna need a cold shower. Double time on these!

6. Maybe thats where the promised leo1s are going. Iirc, only ~30 out of 160+ have been delivered so far, with no photos or footage of their use to date

7. The Russian “turtle” tank does not stand a chance.
