The German Leopard 2A6 Main Battle Tank (MBT) is a highly advanced and formidable piece of military hardware. This 1/72 scale model from Trumpeter allows a detailed representation to be assenbled by adult collectors.
Tank History, here are some key aspects: -
Development: The Leopard 2A6 is an upgrade of the Leopard 2A5 and is part of the Leopard 2 tank series, which has been in service since the late 1970s. The 2A6 includes improvements in firepower, armour, and electronics.
Firepower: The main armament of the Leopard 2A6 is the Rheinmetall 120 mm L55 smoothbore gun, which is longer than the L44 used on previous Leopard 2 models, providing greater accuracy and penetration power at longer ranges.
Armour: The tank has third-generation composite armour, including improved turret frontal and side armour. It also incorporates the heavy use of modular armour, allowing for damaged sections to be replaced or upgraded as needed.
Mobility: Powered by a V12 twin-turbo diesel engine, the Leopard 2A6 can reach speeds up to 68 km/h (42 mph) on roads and maintain high speeds across rough terrain. Its operational range is approximately 500 kilometres (310 miles).
Technology: Advanced targeting systems and thermal imaging allow the Leopard 2A6 to engage moving targets over rough terrain. It also has a digital fire control system that significantly increases hit probability.
Crew: The tank has a crew of four: a commander, a gunner, a loader, and a driver.
Exports: The Leopard 2A6 is used by several countries outside Germany, including Canada, Greece, Portugal, and others. Its performance in various climates and terrains has been a selling point.
Combat Proven: While the Leopard 2A6 itself has seen limited combat, the Leopard 2 series has been deployed in various conflicts and has proven to be reliable and effective.
Upgradability: One of the Leopard 2's strengths is its upgradeability. Many countries have implemented national upgrade programs to improve their tanks' capabilities.
Active Service: Despite being introduced in the early 2000s, the Leopard 2A6 remains in active service and is considered one of the world's top main battle tanks due to its balance of firepower, protection, and mobility.
