The armed forces of 22 nations rely on the fire power, manoeuvrability and outstanding protection of the LEOPARD 2.
Modern, high combat capability, extremely mobile and well-protected
The LEOPARD 2 A7V owes its outstanding performance capability to an ideal combination of protection, mobility, manoeuvrability and fire power. The optimal manoeuvrability of the LEOPARD 2 is based on the unique symbiosis of vehicle crew and cutting-edge German-made technology. The continuous refinement of the primary and secondary defence protects the crew and the machine itself from the latest types of ammunition and threats.
The armed forces of 22 nations rely upon the LEOPARD’s versatile superiority. All vehicles were supplied by KNDS. With over 3,500 units, this is a rate which is unparalleled worldwide. Moreover, many international customers have planned and designed supply concepts, further developments and modification projects collectively using the LEO User Club. Reference customers for the LEOPARD family include Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden and many more.
The 120mm main gun (calibre length 55) together with the improved optronics make for the exceptional combat capabilities of the LEOPARD 2. Thanks to its ability to fire programmable ammunition, it can react to an extremely wide variety of threat scenarios.
The combination of thermal imager and low light amplifier improves the driver’s night vision in all directions.
The hull area has been additionally reinforced in order to better protect the crew from mines, IEDs and other threats.
The turret crew has extra protection for greater safety from threats from above.
The running gear and power pack have been optimised and reinforced for better stability and ideal power transmission in comparison with earlier variants.
The stabilised remote-controllable weapon station (RCWS) can be equipped with a wide range of weapons and operated from inside the vehicle.
To determine the influences on projectile trajectory, the vehicle is equipped with a sensor for detecting geological data (e.g. wind).
The chassis and turret are each equipped with an air conditioning system for operation in hot climate zones.
Thanks to its high power output, the LEOPARD 2 moves with great speed even on rough terrain. Its manoeuvrability, proven fire power and high degree of protection enable it to complete the most demanding of missions.
