On May 5, 2017, the German Armed Forces and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) signed a contract to upgrade the 20 Leopard 2A7s already in service to the 2A7V level, as well as to manufacture and deliver 84 additional Leopard 2A7Vs from 2020. The last vehicles were delivered in 2023. As with the 2A7, the extensive changes to the 2A7V, which primarily cover the areas of protection, mobility, maneuverability, sustainability and firepower, consist not only of performance-enhancing measures, but also of supplementary measures.
This publication describes the Leopard main battle tank weapon system currently in active service in the 2A7V level of combat upgrade in maneuver use and in the current state of affairs in great detail in terms of technology.
