All you need to know about the Leopard 2 tank

The Leopard 2 tank is widely regarded as the best of its kind in the world.

The German-made battle tanks are currently used by 19 countries and Poland wants to send a company of their Leopards to Ukraine.

Combining speed and accuracy, the Leopard is capable of hitting targets 5km away while on the move.

All we need to know is: not a lot, apparently!

U forgot to mention that they blew up higher than t72 😂😂😂

It’s not heading anywhere without Germany consent. Only the challenger 2 is being sent as a MBT.

[Hamster_kombat-wl]

Democracy & Ukraine should not be mentioned in the same sentence.

[Razzle_Dazzle-]

It can easily be turned into a human oven 😂

Compact and informative. Like it. This might sound a strange request, but could you do a similar one - no more than 2:20m - for the Leopard 1? It'll need to cover the 105mm gun variant and the later 120mm gun variant. You see they'll be heading to Ukraine this year.

All Ukraine really needs, is a bunch of AMPV's. BAE is fully capable of that task. Like the Bradley before it, it can be set up, to be a very prolific tank killer. ++

The Leopard tank: *the 21st century Tiger tank*

I have been working for six months with a volunteer organization that helps Ukraine.
The courage of the Ukrainian people is impressive!
I believe in the Victory of Ukraine!

[jasonpednault]

Wow. Lots of Russian trolls here. Too funny.

[patrickchung]

Still requires the approval of the German government, doesn’t it?

[jic]

So basically, what we need to know about the Leopard 2 is that it's a modern main battle tank?

[ziagaming]

Nothig will happened in battle field.. For one mnth these double standard media's are going to talk about these tanks .. Once these all tanks and weapons are destroyed in battle field they start talk about another one.. like (sniper wally, HIMRAS, NASAMs, US air defense, etc) complete failure in Ukraine battle field

[youarewhatyouare]

Its called a leopard because the driver comes out in spots and then can run 60 miles an hour

[Xehemoth]

70KPH JESUS man, that is breaking the sound barrier in the tank world.

[scraggy]

Everything I need to know?
So, they can drive cross country and have a big gun? Excellent redux I had no idea that such things were possible.
Kudos.

Ukraine needs aircraft, the UK does not have sufficient tanks to be giving them away, we should be giving them 24 Tornado aircraft with targeting pods, increasing the Brimstone range to 60km stand off, low cost heavy bombs 500lb and 1000lb, and throw in a few dozen Storm Shadow cruise missiles with a 560km range with its 990lb warhead this could be used for picking off ammo storage facilities way back from the front out of reach of rocket artillery.
And 8 Apache attack helicopters which could be used at night during the coming offensive to soften up the front lines, Russia has little to no night fighting capacity.
