Considering that the Leopard 1 is armored as much a sheet of paper and it's gun too weak to penetrate modern reactive armor, wouldn't it maybe be better if Germany restarted making derivatives/conversions of these vehicles before sending them to Ukraine? I mean, vehicles like the Gepard (SPAAG) or Keiler (mine-clearing vehicle with a flail) seem to me to be much more useful to Ukraine than the baseline Leopard 1 that they are based upon, since the Gepard is one of the very few vehicles that is well equipped to combat drones while the Keiler could be very useful to remove the mines that are blocking Ukraine's offensives since last year.
