Leopard 2A5/A6

The Leopard 2A5 and A6 are advanced variants of the German main battle tank, featuring improved armor protection and enhanced firepower. The A6 notably introduced the longer L/55 smoothbore gun, providing superior penetration capabilities compared to the A5's L/44 gun.

Developed in Germany starting in the mid-1990s, these variants were introduced to maintain the Leopard 2's combat superiority against evolving threats.
