  Because this is simply an issue with you not understanding that the German word "Panzer" does not translate 1:1 to the English "tank".   
  A "Panzer" first an foremost simply is ARMOR, and it was adapted as the word for armored vehicles in the German language, which is also why the word "Panzer" never stands alone in German:
  You have: 
  Schützenpanzer (IFV)
  Transportpanzer (APC)
  Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer (SPAAG)
  Flugabwehrraketenpanzer (SPAARL)
  Radpanzer (Wheeled tank)
  (Leichter/Mittlerer/Schwerer) Kampfpanzer (Light/Medium/Heavy MBT)
  Bergepanzer (tank recovery vehicle)
  Spähpanzer (scout tank)
  Panzerhaubitze (SPAG)
  -- and so on.   
  One thing you'll see all those words have in common? - in the German language, ALL OF THEM are compound words, describing what they do in addition to being "panzer" (armored vehicles).
context: Marder and Gepards? Juicy. I hear that Ukraine has gotten pretty good with the Gepards. They shoot down almost, if not all, of the Shahed drones. Supposedly also, thanks to an app that Ukraine has developed for the civilians so they can report incoming air attacks, which gives time to move air defence into position.
  Edit:
  Had apparently written Murder and not Marder. Damn auto-correct! >
  
  There is already a succesor for Gepard. The Mantis Turret mounted to a Truck or Boxer. Ukraine will get 2 Systems (4 Guns) of the truck mounted variant.
  But the production Line still has to be built? Expected delivery is 2024/2025. Still would hope they get more and if it is already ready their Laser module as well. >
  
  They probably have move significant parts of production (most of all final assembly) away from their Oerlikon Contraves subsidiary plant in Switzerland, who originally developed the Skynex. >
  
  Way to go Germany >
  
  That seems like a very aggressive fertility treatment. >
  
  Germans actually understand that a Schützenpanzer is not a Kampfpanzer. English is that strange language that had scout tanks and light tanks and cavallery tanks and then suddenly pretended that main battle tanks are the only tanks when the main-battle-part should clearly tell you that's not actually true. >
  
  you know whats nonsense? Insulting some1 as "krautoid" while hes trying to explaing something to you.
  if english is superior to you, why come there are so many words in german that cant be described in english without a sentence.
  and bigger question. who the fuck cares?
