The Leopard 2 epitomizes German tank design philosophy. Since its introduction in 1979, it has undergone numerous upgrades and remains one of the most widely exported tanks globally. Its powerful MTU MB 873 diesel engine ensures impressive mobility despite its 62-ton weight. The tank's advanced fire control system, featuring the EMES 15 optical sight, provides exceptional accuracy even in challenging conditions. The Leopard 2's modular armor system, which can be quickly adapted to different threat levels, has proven particularly effective in modern asymmetric warfare. The latest A7V model offers improved protection against top-attack weapons and enhanced capabilities for urban combat.
