I wasnt sure about the end user selling things on bit
( permission needed etc)
what do you do if they do? - refuse to sell more?
the industrial-military complex ( thank you Eisenhower) wdnt like it !

( I liked Ike ! - there is a bit of history for you)

I wonder if, while all this talk of tanks and body parts excites there's still something going on in the background to try and find a way to stop the madness that suits both sides, the mental case excluded obviously, he has to go.

Training on Leopards as I understand it started a while back

There is a whole narrative building - partly and understandably fuelled by Ukraine’s government and military - that if Ukraine doesn’t fairly suddenly start laying into the occupiers with barrack busting heavy armour - that all will be lost.
Not so.
However doing so would undoubtedly shorten the war

There is also a nonsense that all wars end with negotiated settlements.
Also not so
