rump Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Today it was made public that the 43 Mechanized Brigade from the Royal Dutch Army will be integrated into the 1. Panzer Division, and a German Tank Battalion (414?) will be integrated into the 43 Mechbrig.The Netherlands will give their remaining 16 Leopard 2A6NL to the German Army and will lease back 18 (modernized?) Leopards. These 18 tanks will be crewed by Dutch personnel and should be capable of doing its own missions.Link in Dutch: https://www.defensie.nl/actueel/nieuws/2015/09/15/nieuwe-tanksamenwerking-duitsland-en-nederland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 How much more "modernizing" can a A6 need?:c: I was thinking that as well. I figured they were upgrading to the A7 but I thought the German army used the A6 as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brun Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) It is sad to see that no current member of the EU is able to stand on it's own as far as an armed forces, to face the never ending threat of Russia, or Islamic Extremist Terrorism. The EU has liquidated their armed forces and now must scramble, and patch together whatever they can among themselves in a last ditch effort to look tuff in the face of the Terror and the Bear. The problem that The EU has ignored is now flooding the EU in the form of Migrants and refugees dwarfing anything seen in History, even WW2. Don't worry Russia is filling the void in Syria as We speak. The EU can circle the wagons all they want by merging their pathetically weak forces together within their borders. This Mass Migration is not going to stop, Millions, and millions, will come to the EU. You can Kiss what You currently know as the EU good by as a direct result of inaction in the middle East. This is not a political statement so People can keep the" Keep it non political" stuff. This is Why Nations that should be standing on their own are merging their armed forces.

Members Ssnake Posted September 16, 2015 Members Share Posted September 16, 2015 It is sad to see that no current member of the EU is able to stand on it's own as far as an armed forces, to face the never ending threat of Russia, or Islamic Extremist Terrorism.This is very, very close to starting a political debate, so let's just say that historically there has NEVER been a single European nation that could have stopped Russia all by itself, except maybe in the 19th and early 20th century.Whether Islamofascim is a threat that can be solved with tanks and artillery guns is up to debate (but not here).The problem that The EU has ignored is now flooding the EU in the form of Migrants and refugees dwarfing anything seen in History, even WW2.Source, please. The streams of refugees near the end of WW2 dwarf anything that we can see today. If you absolutely have to make political statements, at least get your facts straight. Even better, discuss politics elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better, discuss politics elsewhere. My source is that I can see what is happening. logic dictates that it will worsen. It is only going to increase, Millions do not want to stay in a war torn area with no future. These refugees are heading Into the EU not leaving or being redistributed within Europe like WW2. The EU is the only place they can escape to. Take the current rate and multiply for the future. 13,000 in a single day into Germany recently, and it has just begun. Only hope is that Hungry, and other Nearby Nations stop them cold, let them starve, or send them back to where they came from to die. If Not let them all in and Kiss the ethnic make up of Your Nations, and economy good by. The choices the EU has now do to inaction in the past are unsavory in the extreme. IMO the EU will block them and send them back. Time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brun Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 well get ready theyre coming to Mass too.Its on the refuge list.We already have South America attached to us so the Migration issue is old news to the USA. A few thousand more from Syria that are actual refugees fleeing certain death is ok with Me. They are legitimate, not just here to gain a quick buck or deal drugs, and leach off of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
