Returning the favour

[Hanno Spoelstra]

"As a belated thank you for the thousands of vehicles transferred from Canadian Army stocks to the Netherlands Army in 1945, the Dutch Minister of Defence has decided to transfer one hundred as-good-as-new Leopard 2 tanks to the Canadian Armed Forces".

Just kidding of course, but those Leo 2's are a great buy and I'm convinced the Canadian Forces now have one of - if not the - most capable tank available to your military today. Only one careful owner, with full service history and all modifications and upgrades incorporated at a fraction of the cost of a similar, new tank (yes, we'll do anything to lower the Defence budget ).

See background for the full story.
