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.

"I've been in few famous last stands, lad, and they're butcher shops. That's what Blouse's leading you into, mark my words. What'll you lot do then? We've had a few scuffles, but that's not war. Think you'll be man enough to stand, when the metal meets the meat?"
"You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
"Yeah, lad. But I was holding the metal"
