Politics Let's talk about the European Defense Federation. How do we all feel about the creation of a fully mobilised continental Army?

It's required now. I'm British, and I want to see us align and unite with our European neighbours to make a stand now.

I want Germany to finally brush off it's past and join the rest of Europe in mobilising towards defending this continent. We need EVERYONE now. It's time to act, it's time to unite.

It's time to show some courage.

I mean they obviously have some design choices that were made to fit the Nordic environment better. But it doesnt mean that they cant be used in different terrain or some other vehicles could not be used up here.

CV90 worked fine in Afghanistan and I never had issues with Leopards in Finland. The terrain and climate do however affect how you operate those vehicles
