Der Speigel reports that Qatar's government have announced their interest in purchasing up to 200 Leopard 2A7 heavy tanks from Germany, in a deal that could be worth up to EUR 2 billion/ $2.46 billion. The tanks would more than replace Qatar's existing set of 30-40 French AMX-30 medium tanks, which are a 1970s era design.
Fellow Gulf Cooperation Council member Saudi Arabia is interested in 600-800 of these tanks, and a win in both countries could keep German armor manufacturers busy for quite some time......
