Germany's New KF51 Panther Tank | The Spearhead of a New Generation?

For over four decades, the concept of the European Main Battle Tank has been dominated by the Leopard 2, to the point where it's almost impossible to imagine a world in which this legend no longer serves on the battlefield.

Thanks for sticking with me guys, hope it was worth the wait!
