Brexit Uncertainty – EU MBT tank launched
After much secrecy,
the French-German KNDS
Group (Krauss-Maffei Wegmann
+ Nexter Defense Systems) has
unveiled its first joint military project, the
EMBT, or European Main Battle
Tank. Essentially a technology
demonstrator, with further
development, “the EMBT is a
short-term response to the
operational need of the market
for high-intensity battle tanks”.
With UK now Brexited the battlefield
is likely to change considerably.
Russia is now considering new
alliances in the region that could
give the EMS a more intense mission role.
