France's defence minister received his German counterpart on Friday to ink a deal between the two countries to build a next-generation battle tank.
Defence ministers of France and Germany met in Paris this Friday to ratify an agreement on a new joint tank project called the Main Ground Combat System (MGCS).
This formal agreement kick-starts the development of the first phase of the armoured vehicle, dubbed the ‘tank of the future’ – a project worth billions of euros.
The new battle tank is set to replace Germany’s Leopard 2 tank and France’s Leclerc.

Most important question though - is it going to be named after a big cat?
Like Garfield?
I meant like all German armoured vehicles, like Leopards, Gepards, Pumas, Tigers, Panthers.
Who am I kidding tho, it's going to be a wank and probably be named something like Panzerkampfwagen Zweitausendfünfundzwanzig Russlandgehundfickdichselbst in German, and something like Charabialeeraux (pronounced "arrr") in French.
I know, I just wanted to be a smartass.
It was a good joke, appreciate it!
Doing that gives a permanent -15% malus to gearbox reliability
That will only give more jobs and power to the - naturally unionized - gearbox maintenance industry it will spring up, which will somehow capture the whole German MIC - and I mean both factories - due to only them being able to navigate the byzantine equipment requisition forms - all on paper and submitted in triplicate to the EU, the German government, and the municipality of Schmedeswurtherwesterdeich.
I read that as natually Un-Ionized and was very confused.
