The Leopard 2 was developed in the '70s to satisfy the specific need of the West German Army to have ?ÿa new modern and efficient Main Battle Tank able to replace the Leopard 1. It is armed with a 120 mm gun and, thanks to its V-12 twin-turbo diesel engine, it is able to reach the maximum speed of 68 Km/h. It entered service in 1979 but, continuously improved in technology, armament and armour, it is still today considered one of the best Main Battle Tank in the World. The Leopard 2 A6, in detail, is a definite improvement compared to the first versions.

The turret shape and the mantlet profile are developed to minimize the impact of enemy hits and anti-tank weapons.
