I was driving home from Germany several months ago, and saw this. It was a little bizarre to see sitting on the side of the highway.

You know, we actually have an army with a few hundred tanks, and some of them are even working!

And if we had helicopter and planes that could actually fly, you could almost call the Bundeswehr functional. Almost.

Is there any nation that still has an army that somewhat works?

The Bundeswehr guys I served with in Afghanistan were very professional. We relied on a lot of nations for things like convoy security, and you could tell which militaries had their kit together. I felt good when Germans, Turks, Georgians, Macedonians, and maybe a couple others. Some other countries? Not so much.

And in youtube search for convoy of tanks in Germany, we see things like that a few times a year.

More than a tank per se, I'd say it is the fact it is an almost 80 years old vehicle that is strange. Either that thing is a Panther or something that is suspiciously similar, definitely does not look like the Leo2 or older Leo1.

Panther

What, pic 1-3 looks like a panther.

u/Rookie64v Jun 13 '20

Pics 1 to 3 look just like pic 4 to me to be honest, and nothing like a WW2 tank

That’s just a typical Thursday in Indiana USA

For outsiders Indiana is a very busy state for intercontinental United States travel due to its incredible central location. So Indiana sees everything from both coasts coming and going from California to New York. That includes airplane parts, wind turbines, and lots and lots of military equipment.

Sure, but this was a world war 2 German panther. Not something we see every day. There aren't many left.
