The latest iteration of Germany’s renowned Leopard 2 tank series, the Leopard 2 A-RC, will be officially unveiled at the Eurosatory 2024 defense exhibition.
The German-French conglomerate KNDS, a collaboration between Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Nexter, has released photos and specifications of the new tank ahead of its public debut.
The Leopard 2 A-RC is designed to address the evolving challenges of modern battlefields, incorporating cutting-edge innovations to enhance its operational capabilities.
A key highlight is its unmanned turret, which can be equipped with a classic 120mm gun, Rheinmetall’s new 130mm gun, or KNDS’s proprietary 140mm Ascalon transformer gun. The tank features an advanced autoloader capable of firing three rounds in ten seconds, reducing the crew size to three, all housed in a newly protected hull.
