An innovative change from the previous Leopard 2A5 was the increased resistance to mines and improvised explosive devices, requirements that emerged during operations in countries like Afghanistan as part of NATO missions. Upgraded hull bottom armor, redesigned hull interior, ammunition stowage and racks, as well as a specially designed driver’s seat have made the Leopard 2A6 one of the best-protected modern tanks.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Rye Field Model 5065 kit excellently captures these features – offering a realistically recreated hull, turret, reactive armor elements, and a fully detailed 120 mm gun barrel.
