It was Pumas, IFVs not tanks. The newest of the new, just a slightly failed rollout, they're already fixed. It's not uncommon at all for new weapon systems.
We're talking oldest Leopards and Marders here.
Also, it's not just about the vehicles in the Bundeswehr. It's about rallying the Rheinmetall clients to create a pool that can be donated from various European countries, for example adding the excuse to upgrade the european fleet to the latest Leopard standard. It has to start with political decisions, though. The Bundeswehr is fully behind this proposal (it was purposefully leaked to the press early on in the war).

It doesn't say that the Bundeswehr was behind it, though. Just that "other top officials" were.
