They demanded the Abrams but yeah...I think we've agreed in principle to contracts replacing old garbage materiel for NATO countries.

Well yeah, if they requested them, we have to keep up the appearance that we're willing to support them.
But it'll probably take a few months before Abrams will be useful/used.
They require a HUGE amount of logistical support, specialized equipment, and personnel to operate. And then they are gas guzzlers.
The engine can run on a ton of different fuel, but it's ideal to use a special jet fuel.
Leopards will hit the ground running though. Any old diesel mechanic can learn that quickly.
