The Leopard 2 was developed in West Germany in the 1970s, and became the main battle tank of the German Bundeswehr. Among its versions and variations, the A6 had significantly improved its offensive and defensive capabilities, and achieved further modernization. The turret's wedge-shaped additional armour and the commander's panorama sight equipped with a thermal imaging device were inherited from the previous A5 version, and the 120mm main smoothbore gun was extended to 55 calibre. The muzzle velocity and armour penetration were greatly enhanced by increasing the length of the barrel to more than one meter. The A6, which began to be deployed in 2001, has earned trust by operating a type with its own renovation in Greece and Canada. And in January 1923, the German government announced the provision of its own A6 to support the Ukrainian Army against the invasion of the Russian Army.
