Deutsche Heeres neue kampfpanzer leopard 2a7V.

German army just received 14 of the 2a7V variant. Very handsome tanks if you ask me

I wouldn’t say it is worth it. But after all, it is the best operational MBT out there.
(Challenger-3, T-14 Armata, Abrams X or KF-51 Panther is not operational yet)

Order volume for 18 Leopard 2A8 tanks is 525 Mio. EUR. So almost 30 Mio.EUR per tank

Once it receives hundreds of orders, it will drop to acceptable levels like the others. The important thing is the average cost that will occur after the total number of orders exceeds certain levels. Moreover, Leopard-2a6s also had a design flaw. The Germans have an opportunity to learn from their mistakes and close their gaps.

Abrams would fit that description more

Oh man, it really looks like I am living rent-free in your head.😅

Anyway, turret of destroyed leo2a6 didn't almost reached the space. It was right where i supposed to be. (Still attached to the chesis.)

Then again, you couldn't comprehend.

I am talking about Leopard-2 A8 which has considerable improvements over Leopard-2 A6.

And what do you expect exactly?
Irrespective of who produced it, no contemporary tank on earth would have survive a heavy 152/155mm round hit. Leopard 2 is no exception.


Being best does not necessarily means invincible. In any offensive and counter-offensiv, heavy and sophisticated equipment losses are quite normal.

@Gary said, Abrams (probably A2 SEPv4) would fit the description of being the best.

Then again, there are photos of Abrams burning.

But that does not necessarily disprove his claim.

Yeah I agree with this, certainly one of the best tanks out there. And this is from a 40 year old design that Germans continues to improve.

The new 1600hp engine would cerainly help with the added weight + that sweet L55A1 guns + APS + RCWS. Its an excellent tank.

I just notice there's a lot of excitement with the Leopards getting destroyed. Or just overall hate towards one. Why is that ?

people have been saying it’s the best tank out there.
most likely that’s the reason for the hate

People need to understand that the word 'best' is parametric in nature and never meant to be translated into indestructible.

any video?
There is a video of a Ukrainian tank setting a record for turret tossing. However, uncertain if it is a L2 or some t-series. ruskies claim it is a L2, but then again they are known liars. That being said, L2 has similar flaws as the t-series with the ammunition being exposed.
