Great video! Leopard 2 Keiler? What a rare sight. I am from Czech republic and our army is now doing trials on Leopards 2A4, as we will have Leopard 2A7s. And one of the things our tankers praising on the Leopard is the gun and the aim and precision of it. They praise it because when compared to our T72s, they hit what they are shooting at at much higher speeds.

Germany learned a lot of lessons from WW2 Make the tank overpowered, so you always have good mobility without always torturing the engine (Kingtiger 700 PS for 69 tons - Leopard 2A4 1500 PS for 55 tons) Reduce the ground pressure, so you don´t get stuck in muddy or sandy terrain so easily (Kingtiger 1kg/cm2 - Leopard 2A4 0,83kg/cm2) Easy to drive - lot of the drivetrain failures in the late war on Tigers and Panthers was simply due to the fact, that the drivers were not well trained and ruined than the machine in the battle

There is one key difference between this prototype and the production Leopard 2 vehicles. With regard to the turret and the weapon system, a slightly more developed version of the Leopard 1 A4 was planned originally, as shown here. Due to the experiences of the war in October 1973, the concept of the Leopard 2 was significantly revised with increased attention to protection against anti-tank guided missiles. The hull and the turret were to be protected against the effects of shaped charges by extensive use of spaced armor, hence the vertical armor surfaces instead of sloping armour. In addition, the turret was completely redesigned with the concept of a narrow turret with a narrow mantlet in order to significantly reduce the targeting area in hull down position. This was made possible by eliminating the optical range finder and using a laser range finder instead.
14:20 At night, in German armored units (that were equipped with the Leopard 1s, but weren't equipped with PzB200), it was common for the commander to mount an improvised pivoting bracket for an image intensifier unit (BIV, which should actually be installed on the loaders side instead of a mirror block) on his ring mount for the anti-aircraft machine gun in order to use it for passive observation.
The large circle on the rear right of the turret was the base for a 20mm cannon mount, simular to the MBT 70s. Not carried over past this turret version. The small device between that circle and the commanders hatch is an aim-able grenade launcher that could fire HE and Smoke. Very much like the ones mounted on later WW2 german tanks though those were internal and looked more flush from the outside. I believe the Leo 1 prototypes had a simular requirement though they used a flush mounted model and it too disappeared from production vehicles.
Fun fact, in the Leopard 2A4 you could make manual input for quervind even though the wind sensor wasn’t installed. Also there’s a certain way to turn on switches that made the gunners sight mirror follow the gun tube into the ladestellung so that the gunner has to manually depress to get eyes back on target.
It’s been a long time since German tanks went up against Russian tanks I hope this time that the German tanks are on the winning side. Great video as always thank you very much .
But does it have a BV - Boiling Vessel? Its impossible to fight without having the ability to make tea. They are an essential feature of British tanks. The British army can't fight without a supply of tea cloase at hand.
The Leopard 2 is now old, I'm told .. Yet it's the most sold Western Tank across the World 🌍 Thus : a Leopard 2 purchase decision can't really be classed as bold !!! 👉 The Viking Leif saw it as safe 👈
There is no "Leopard 2" as such. Of course, the early versions from the 80s are outdated. But most of the interior was upgraded also for the older machines. Leo 2A0 was upgraded to Leo 2A2 etc etc.
The Leopard 2A7 still competes with the best out there, it may look like an old tank, but every little thing has gone through several major updates, and the platform still has room for further improvements. The Norwegians chose the Leo 2A7 over the most modern tank on the market. They didn't give specifics, but they said both the Leopard 2A7 and the Hanwha K2 have met the requirements, and then some.
You are wrong Leopard 2 have been sold 2971 and majority of those where used tanks from German storage , meanwhile Abrams was sold 3780 and majority of those where newly produced ... and Leopards 2 are NOT best tanks in the world right now best tank in the world is Abrams M1A2 SEPv3 .
@@scratchy996 Buddy Leopard 2A7 is not best , A7 is pretty old version , Polish Leopard 2 modernization "PL" &"PLM1" is comparable with A7 , comparable because most parts will work with A7 , but in many areas Polish modification is superior to A7 , that was one of the reasons why Poland have chosen Abrams M1A2 SEPv3 , because Germany have fell behind when it comes to armour ... and Norwegian chosing Leopard 2 A7 was political decision , Military wanted K2 , but Government wanted get closer economic ties with Germany.
Not really, you just park it on top of two or more illegally parked Teslas ;) And the Centurion is about the same size, just a bit smaller turret and gun.
Yup, much more efficient to swap to a fresh power pack than to tow the whole tank to a repair shop. And if the power pack was taken out by enemy anti tank weapons, it just takes a bit longer to replace any damaged piping/tubing in the engine bay, stick welding the hole closed and put a fresh power pack in. (The risk of a second hit to the weld steel patched hole is insignificant)
Tack ska du ha för ett fint genomgång om leopard stridsvagn! Now in English, thank you for a very detailed and informative walk through of the Leopard tank. You explained very well (1) the life of crew inside the leopard tank, (2) the accuracy and capability of the leopard tank, both of which no one else has depicted so visually as you have done. I have a few questions if you will allow, (1) Is there air conditioning inside the tank against çold and heat? (2) Does it only fire these two rounds you mentioned or are there more. Can it fire missiles, rockets etc. (3) what is the maximum distance accuracy of this 120 mm gun? (4) what kind of life expectancy and maintenance does this smooth bore gun require? Thank you.
1. yes there is "air conditioning" in the older A4´s and A5´s, but thats basicly ventilation and NBC filtering. In the A6M and newer versions you got a low grade AC but not something comparable to a modern civil car. 2. APFSDS and HEAT-FS-MP are the core ammunition of modern NATO MBT´s, but there are some more specialised rounds availible like Canister (basicly shotgun round for tanks), tube launched ATGM (well, not really that worth using) and recently (around 2017) was the introduction of programmable HEAT-FS wich can airburst, explode on impact, explode after breach, explode without distance probe trigger (turning it into a HESH/HE-Frag) and a few more. 3. Depending on the type of Rheinmetall 120mm smoothbore and ammunition used. the RH120 L/44 (the shorter one) has an effective range of around 3200m with APFSDS, the L/55 (from A6 onwards) has an effective range of about 5000m with APFSDS 4. Depending on the gun and ammunition used. The RH120 L/44 with DM33 APFSDS has a life expectancy of around 600 shots before a barrel replacement is needed, with the more powerful DM53 the life expectancy of the L/44 sinks to around 300 shots. The L/55 mounted on A6 and later models has a life expectancy of again around 600 shots with DM53.

I guess it's difficult to build blowout panels in that exact spot, without compromising the structural strength of the hull. But the Germans have solved that problem by developing insensitive ammunition, the 120mm DM63, DM73 and newer models. You can shoot straight at it with an RPG and it doesn't ignite. The reason they didn't go for full turret storage was due to the hydraulic fluid being a danger to the crew, if the lines burst. The Israelis experienced that issue in the Merkava, and they switched to full electric turret drive. But that needs space in the rear of the turret. Unfortunately I don't think the Ukrainians will get that ammo, since its classified. The Turks also didn't get the ammo, that's why their tanks exploded. They also stood around on the top of the hill, fully exposed, without cover, with full hull ammo. If you do that, you at least stay in a hull down position.
@@Pyhantaakka You're welcome. One more thing, after the Turks lost those tanks, they added ERA blocks on the Leopard 2A4, for more protection. The Ukrainians could do that too, they have plenty of ERA around : ua-cam.com/video/4HdYv2yq_BM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=shotasabauri
