Historical background

The Leopard 2A6 is the latest and most advanced version of the German Leopard 2 tank, produced since the late 1970s by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. The 2A6 model entered service in the Bundeswehr between 2001 and 2002 and has since served as the backbone of the German armored forces. Germany is the main user of Leopard tanks, but exported 2A6 versions and earlier models are also in service with the armed forces of countries such as Finland, Canada, the Netherlands, Greece, and Portugal.

The Leopard 2A6 tank, an evolution of the earlier 2A5, has been used in combat operations by, among others, the Canadian Army in Afghanistan as part of ISAF operations in recent years. It features modern armament—a Rheinmetall L55 120 mm smoothbore gun—providing increased penetration and range. The additional modular armor gives the crew the highest level of protection among western tanks.
