Hey Schroeder, have you heard of the new German
APWC - the
Armoured Pregnant Woman Carriers? We call them Pumas:

This really made my evening yesterday.

3rd and 4th paragraph. I assume that is why there was not enough room for even just a medium machine gun in the turret (the puma has only a light machine gun as secondary): a medical kit for emergency baby deliveries is stored inside it instead.
I almost translated it for the forum.
NATO has a new secret weapon: the Germans. IS will laugh itself to death when they read this. We just need to dispose their bodies then, and we're done.
Other armies have their light machine guns carried by soldiers. The Germans move them around on APWCs. Why not, the Puma will need TWO flights by air transport to be airlifted in protection configuration C: one flight for the tank, and a second flight for the modular armour.
That is no problem and should not worry anyone. The new A400M has such a long list of flaws and problems after the first delivered plane got inspected by the BW that we soon will not have any airlift capacity anymore anyway. Creativly working around a problem , I call that.
Best was the comment by some BW spokesman, whzo messed up his wording. He said
"The new airlifter has so unbelievably more problems than we have hoped for." 
- The next Anglosaxon claiming Germans have no sense of humour, gets shot, I swear it!
