    It would be really nice if Brazil sent weapons to Ukraine, but on the other hand, Scholz palyed "no, you go first" for an entire year after Ukraine asked for tanks, on top of dragging his feet for the first 2-3 months of the war, but now wants everyone to send weapons as soon as he gives the order.

    Get Switzerland to allow the export of ammo for your own weapons then go pointing fingers at others lmao

      He didn't order anyone, he just asked where all teh tanks that people allegedly wanted to send and needed German permission actually are.
      Because right now it looks like there are a some Polish Leo2s which Ukrainians train on, and a company of German ones.

      Everyone knew the Leo2 numbers were low, the obvious best choice would have been the Abrams. But the US just said 'lol no we must build export model first' instead of sending some of the 4000 they have in storage.

          Brazil will be turning to Korea soon enough, just like Turkey. Any amount of positive results on the atlay transmission will guarantee a deal.

            you're talking as if krauts built their heavy transmissions in a day or something. their development cycle just seems smoother than SK's because krauts were making transmissions from the very beginning.
            it's all a matter of time and money. The more krauts act like complete homosexuals, the more they push their customers to either develop their own tech or turn to other countries. Turkey is a prime example. krauts basically gift-wrapped Turkish contracts to the Koreans. And the way things look, Brazil will take a similar path.

          I don't get it. Cars have been around for 130 years, gearboxes aren't secret knowledge. Why do most countries find it nearly impossible to start making their own transmissions?

            Gearboxes or gearing systems come in all kinds of variants. What makes sense and what is required differs greatly whether you're planning to move 2 tons or 20.
            For heavier vehicles like tanks and IFVs the gearbox is usually bigger and more complex than engine.

            if you are say, a backwater nation that has only ever produced civilian cars, and probably using a lot of liscened parts at that, it will take you a long time to get the requisite knowledge into your engineers/desingers/scientists/whatever the frick becaue they have to learn everything the west already knows. it's why china is only now just getting to something approaching the wests tech level after decades of trying to catch up.

            I once saw a pic of the inside of an automatic transmission from some 60s era Chrysler or something like that. That fricking thing was a genuine mechanical computer working with hydraulic fluid, a labyrinth with dozens of small channels and valves and openoiings. It was insane. Good luck figuring out something like that.

      Forcing Brazilians to develop their own aircraft parts created Embraer which now is a rival to the Euros. Latin America largely doesn't have as many domestic industrial firms like Asia because they can just import stuff. Forcing them to innovate on their own creates competitors in the long term.

    Low IQ move. The vehicle must have been designed with the parts in mind, or modified over a significant development period. You just can’t replace a German subsystem with one from a shithole and think it will work just as well and not cause all sorts of problems that will require a costly development program. Then the shithole’s political regime which doesn’t care about defense will balk at the cost increase over something they had to be fought for years to pay for to begin with.

    https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/germany-in-talks-to-buy-3b-of-australian-weaponry-20230305-p5cpfy

    Australia is negotiating its most lucrative defence export deal, with the German army planning to buy hundreds of Queensland-made armoured vehicles as Berlin builds up its military in response to Russian aggression.

    Talks over the deal, which could be worth up to $3 billion, are well advanced between the Australian and German governments, and are expected to support thousands of jobs in south-east Queensland and across the broader supply chain nationally.

    The first of the Boxer Combat Reconnaissance Vehicles could be delivered to Germany next year.

    The Boxers are made by German defence contractor Rheinmetall, which is already supplying 211 Boxer vehicles to the Australian army under a $4.3 billion contract.

    But the prospective German contract could have an even bigger production run, with Berlin interested in acquiring several hundred vehicles as part of its €100 billion ($157 billion) spending spree on new weapons.

    “The German government has now shared its intention with the Australian government to buy Australian-made Boxer CRVs for the German army,” German ambassador to Australia Markus Ederer told The Australian Financial Review in an exclusive interview.

      iirc the reason for them buying from the Aussies is, that the Aussies will have the turreted version Factory up and running. the 211 number is for the heavy weapons carrier variant that the Germans want to supplement their troops with.
