New Panther KF51 Kampfpanzer (Main Baytle Tank/ For Ukraine? Ukraine vs Russia Military News

A German company is offering Ukraine the benefit of being the first military to get its brand-new tank.MIn February 2023, Rheinmetall revealed they are in talks with Ukraine to export the KF51. Company CEO Armin Papperger, told the German business newspaper Handelsblatt that the Panther first delivery could be in 15 to 18 months and suggests a factory in the country could be possible. "We are talking to Kyiv about exporting the Panther," Papperger said. Rheinmetall presented the Panther at a Paris trade fair last summer and "touted it as the strongest battle tank in the world," according to Handelsblatt. Rheinmetall believes a plant in Ukraine can be built for around €200 million which could produce up to 400 Panther tanks annually; it would also need to be protected against air attack from the ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Experts have questioned this plan for unrealistically high production rates and insufficient investment for what is essentially still a concept weapon.
