Dutch tank crews got first in a practice shooting match against USA, UK, and many European countries despite selling all their tanks in 2011 and leaving crews untrained for years

1. Hadden ze een tank van de Duitsers geleend? /s
   Wordt tijd dat we weer wat tankbataljons krijgen.

2. 414 tank battalion is a dutch + german combined tank battalion. The referenced brigade is part of it, or vice versa. They use the same german made tank that is referenced in the article. So, presumably the tank crew has some experience.

3. So what you’re saying is when the next world war breaks out, we just gotta steal random Dutch people off the street and stuff them in tanks? Got it!

4. Oh you mean soldiers from the joint Dutch-German armoured battalion which definitely has tanks? That one?

5. The tankers sold the tanks? Shouldn’t they be sitting in DB? Did noone notice?

6. If you’re fighting for NATO, you’re just fighting for American business interests really. The Americans and Russians are happy to take European lives in their stupid proxy wars with each other.

7. The targets were obviously paid Dutch actors…

8. World of Tanks season passes paid off

9. They’re like those students that procrastinate all the time but still manage to get high marks.

10. Tbf we’ve seen how much better a crew can perform against tanks without being in a tank.
