    According to Der Spiegel, the German Ministry of Defence is pushing for the development of a new generation of MBTs. Source is unfortunately in German.

    Not so unfortunate for me. What's interesting is that it also mentions a potential fusion betwen KMW (Leopard 2 manufacturer) and Nexter (Leclerc manufacturer) that may still happen this year. The new bigger corporation would then develop a new MBT for France and Germany apparently. It says the end of the Leopard 2's lifecycle is scheduled for 2030 and they would like the new MBT to be ready to replace it then.

    An old tank that is not in service anymore can hardly be used to prove that some technology it used is future-proof though.

    Finland has and had a tank fleet made of T-72M bought from Germany and Leopard 2 A 4/6 bought from Germany and Netherlands respectively. Never that there was a problem with autoloader or lack of really made any difference.
