Is Germany’s Leopard 2 the Best Main Battle Tank in Europe?
The Leopard 2 is one of the world’s most common main battle tanks, used by militaries on four continents.
Here s What You Need to Remember: More advanced than the Leopard 2A7V is the Leopard 2A7+/2A7Q, which was procured by Qatar. It features the same upgrades on the Leopard 2A7V but has an even more powerful APU (so the air conditioning systems can be run when the tank is standing still).
The Leopard 2 is one of the world’s most common main battle tanks, used by militaries on four continents. As such, the market for upgrades that bring the older versions up to the latest standards of protection and lethality is large. The primary player here is Krauss-Maffei Wegman, the original designer of the Leopard 2, who markets a variety of kits and new versions of the Leopard 2.

Euro-Tank: Is Britain Looking To Join France & Germany’s Advanced ‘Eurotank’ Program?
January 15, 2021
The British Army has reportedly shown interest in joining a France-Germany joint effort of building the advanced Eurotank, which could eventually help the country to replace its Challenger II main battle tank.
France and Germany are involved in the next-generation Main Ground Combat System program (MGCS), aimed at building ‘Eurotank’ and replacing their existing tanks by the mid-2030s.
The program to develop the first European tank has been taken up by German defense contractors Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Rheinmetall, as well as the French contractor Nexter.
The Franco-German MGCS has been designed to replace the German Leopard II and French LeClerc tanks. A similar multinational effort had led to the development of the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet earlier.
