Fyi. German arms manufacturer Rheinmetal introduced it earlier this year.
I thought some of you might enjoy this. :-)

@elrood nice . Something with a history to protect you from Russia.

@witt although the naming was criticized for implications to Nazi Germany and atrocitoes of the Wehrmacht (something we do not like to glorify in any way)

@elrood shame it wasn’t called Tiger! Although, that scared the Allies , more than the Russians.
Panther is a good name. -
‘Panther’ seems a logical successor to the preceding ‘Leopard’, but as far as animals are concerned, ‘panther’ isn’t a separate species - it’s a term often used for black leopards. And the official Latin names of all the big cats start with Panthera, including Panthera tigris. So from that perspective, a Tiger is a Panther.
