The announcement will likely be welcome news to soldiers who have had to endure searing heat driving their current Leopard C2s in the Afghan desert during the summer months. Heat-related health risks have threatened before to cause the tanks to be pulled from service. O'Connor said the newer tanks will be equipped with a cooling system for the crews before they reach Afghan soil.
It was also said that they have refurbished a former Canadian Badger AEV and it will probably be sent to #Ukraine next week. 4 of these vehicles have already been delivered from Germany to Ukraine and one last one (this one) is still missing.
