Canada's tanks

Sorry, bit of a brain fart. Not flails but ploughs.

Two questions-

Is that 30 million the general new "new Leopard price" or the specific "new 2A8" price. That is to say, could a 2A6M or 2A7 be built and acquired at a materially lower price point, if not, what where is the line?

and, if a 21st century MBT can be built materially cheaper- just not to the spec of the latest and greatest- do we (the west, not just Canada) need to be thinking about "good enough"

Perfection is the enemy of good enough. I quite agree with you.
