    Canada's purchase of the Leopard 2 MBT

    looks like some else is rethinking some of this: ....." Tanks were considered “nice to have,” said Maj. Gen. in the reserves Eyal Ben-Reuven. But Israel didn’t need that many, and several battalions were disbanded. The army became so engrossed in fighting the intifada soldiers were taken off...
