Description

The Leopard 2A6 is an improved version of the German Leopard 2 main battle tank, which first saw service in 1979. Various armor upgrades included the installation of a heavier driver’s hatch, angled applique armor on the turret’s front and sides, as well as improvements in the main armor composition for better protection. Both the older commander’s and gunner’s sights were moved, allowing for the addition of a new independent 2nd generation thermal sight for the commander.

Armed with the Rheinmetall 120 mm L/55 smoothbore gun, the Leopard 2A6 can engage moving targets at ranges up to 5,000 meters while being on the move thanks to its electronic turret and digital fire control systems.
