I guess the 9+ million per tank includes a 30 yr warranty and 3rd party insurance :0)

Seriously, I'm glad the Aussies have such superior tanks. They'll be very useful.

It included Abrams gunnery and maintenance training by U.S. Marine master gunners. The Aussies got a good deal, though it puts them at the mercy of the General Dynamics parts and spares supply chain, still probably a better deal than depending on the EuroGermans. But it still would have been interesting to see how the ex-Canadian/German Leos would have performed in the hands of the Oz tank crews. As with their old beloved *Cents,* they got the most out of the Leos.
