What will actually happen with/to the 2A6 in Canadian service ?
Will the ones in use be given back to Germany, or will Canada keep them ?
Or will the 2A4s be the only version ( including latest upgrades ) become the backbone of the Canadian Tank Corps ?

Thankx
Christopher

Chris, a good question. The exact employment of the 2A6 is not 100% certain. Right now, it looks like they will become op stock. Have read of this thread on the MCV forum:
