The Leopard 2 was developed in the 1970s to meet the Bundeswehr's need for a new modern and efficient main battle tank to replace the Leopard 1. It is armed with a 120mm gun and reaches a top speed of 68 km/h thanks to its V-12 twin-turbo diesel engine.
It entered service in 1979, but has been constantly improved in terms of technology, armament and armor, and is still considered one of the best main battle tanks in the world.
The Leopard 2 A6 represents a significant improvement over its predecessors.
It is armed with a 120mm Rheinmetall L / 55 smoothbore gun and has modern third-generation composite armor.
The additional armor elements were designed to minimize the impact of enemy hits and anti-tank weapons.
