Or if they are producing new tanks it is in a largely manufactory process with very low output. There are simply not the orders in the hundreds and thousands anymore as it was in the 80's.
On the other hand with the next generation currently being in development I don't expect for example the German Army to order current generation tanks in quantities anymore. I just hope they order a big enough amount of the Leo 3 initially that an efficient production line can be set up. But it will be interesting to see what happens with the Leo 2 now taken from the German Army inventory. If it will be backfilled. And where to take the tanks for the backfilling from (assuming Poland will over time give all of its Leo 2 to Ukraine). I don't think they are currently producing new tubs.
