For clarification, ... ( 1 year ago by shamgarsan)
For clarification, these are Leopard C2s which are NOT the same as Leopard 2. The Leopard C2 is a Leopard 1A3 with a 1A5 turret plus a few upgrades. (Which makes them roughly equivalent to an improved 1A5.) The Leopard C2s in Afghanistan are also all equipped with add-on armor kits.
The Leopards here ... ( 1 year ago by sandpiper77)
The Leopards here appear to be Leopard C1's (1A3s or 1A4s) with the MEXAS Armour as opposed to Leopard C2's (1A3's or 4's with modified 1A5 turrets). This is consistent with reports that the most heavily protected leopards were sent to afghanistan first. These appear to be the same units that went to Kosova. Can anyone confirm this?

Gota like like the Krauts for making good tanks! Just need a little Canadian elbow grease to make 'em better. Leo-1's in a Museum eh?? Perhaps the German Army should take a few of these beasts out of the museum and contribute more to the Afghan effort!

A LAV can't replace a Tank.

Hey zakspeedf1...they look like HESH (High Explosive Squash Head) rounds to me. Armor peircing rounds won't be needed. Squash heads are the best kit out there for punching through mud walls.

They're Leopard C2s, not C1s. That's what DND is saying, and they look like C2s with MEXAS to me. Whether they are the same units that went to Kosovo, that's never been stated anywhere I've seen.

Close. This is the first time that canadian tanks have engaged in combat since the Korean war. Canadian tanks were part of 4CMBG stationed in Germany throughout the cold war. Leopard C1s from the Strathcona's were also deployed as part of KFOR in Kosovo.

Right now, the Tories are reaping the benefits of Paul Martin's last three balanced budgets. If they're as bad with Canadians' money as they've historically been, we'll end up with junk anyway. The words LSVW and Iltis come readily to mind now. Point: no matter who's in government, if they have to choose between the Army and, well, just about anything else, the Army gets the leftovers.
