    I think that Leopard is only for traditional memories purposes. We had in Havelte a Centurion standing besides the Leopards 2A5's! Where are these pictures taken? Oitschot? I don't think it's Soesterberg or Havelte.

    Well, I think your uncle is right.
    The YP 408 is like 2 times smaller then the XA 188 and is an 8x8.

    Some years ago I was onboard of a XA 188 while making a testdrive, but we got stuck time after time. The XA 188 is too heavy for serious off road and his automatic gearbox is not made for that. But the XA 188 will do very good on roads and has a very good armor.

    But if you want to go off road, take a YP.

    BTW OTCMAN has recently tested swedish Barracuda cammo for the fennek in Zaragoza. I Have not seen it on the vehicle however but I was told that it works well.

    Don't know of any new howitsers except for the PzH 2000 but those have been in service for a while now.
