Today I learned that USA has the most tanks (unsure how many actually reside on home soil) and Turkey is second in the table!! What the fuck!! I'm sure there must be a valid reason why....

You would have 3,000 tanks as well if your shared borders with Syria, Iran and Iraq!

I suppose you have a point.. But I am always optimistic, NATO bros would jump in to assist so I would save my money to buy some nice motors...

The fun part is that we have 82 tanks and 40 tank recovery vehicles. I don't think they are real optimistic about the performance of those 82.

Syria has around 3,500 tanks, Iran 4,500 and Iraq... well they lost most of theirs so have about 900. The NATO allies would have to be quick!

I'm thinking that 90% of the American tanks are already in Europe poised to kick Putin's backside.. And the remaining 10% on the American/Canadian borders just incase Canada wakes up..

According to the CBC:
The DND report that the Canadian Army has 112 Leopard 2 tanks in a number of different configurations, including 82 combat ready and 30 that are set up for engineering, (eg mine sweeping) or recovery, (eg retrieve disabled vehicles).
The 50 some odd Leopard 1 tanks that the Trudeau government failed to sell off back in 2018 are now being decommissioned for use as targets at CFB Cold Lake Alberta.

What's with the need for Canadian mine sweepers? Something happening in Canada that we should know about?
