Developed in the 70s from the equally successful Leopard 1, Leopard 2 it became the mainstay of the German armored forces, later configuring itself as a great commercial success on the European continent and beyond.

Despite everything, like any weapon system (self-respecting...), it has continued in its constant development by treasuring the "lessons learned".

Friday 3 February at 14.00pm, in the light of the upcoming move to Ukraine, we will analyze with Andrea Gaspardo the technical characteristics of the vehicle and if and how it could make a difference in the local operating theatre.
See you there!
