Qatar plans to order 118 Leopard tanks from Germany over the next seven years, the Bild am Sonntag newspaper said Sunday, citing sources close to the Qatari government.
The paper said the tanks will be manufactured by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Rheinmetall.
In April, Krauss-Maffei said it had won a 1.89 billion euro ($2.5 billion) contract to supply artillery systems and 86 tanks to Qatar of which 62 would be of armored Leopard-2 type -- Germany's main battle tank.
The company said that those tanks will progressively replace Qatar's current fleet of French and South African armored vehicles.

why arent we allowed to be like everyone else? why r we bound to be always to be the loosers? is it possible that our army still rely on M113,the willis jeep,and the Huey of the vietnamese war and all the other obsolete material? so frustrating so unfair, in fact no politician in Lebanon want the army to be strong and no politician in Lebanon want a state with laws because it will be their end!
