After delivery of first tanks to Norway, EuroTrophy looks to wider European future
“This procurement of Leopard tanks to Norway came at the right timing with the rebuilding of German armed forces and their tank fleet and we could join with KNDS and [the] German and Norwegian government[s] to create the new baseline of the Leopard,” EuroTrophy Managing Director Dan Kalfus told Breaking Defense.
The war in Ukraine has created an urgent need for European nations to re-evaluate and strengthen their defense capabilities, leading to rapid procurement and industrial collaboration.

European nations are actively modernizing their armored divisions, moving beyond individual national efforts towards collaborative development and procurement frameworks like EuroTrophy.
