shot-trap?

[edit]

The text says: "The A5 introduced a wedge-shaped, spaced add-on armour to the turret front and the frontal area of the sides. [...] it does not form a shot-trap since it doesn't deflect the penetrators outwards to hit the hull or turret ring."

It isn't obvious why the wedge-shaped armour doesn't form a shot-trap; is it because the spaced add-on armour is penetrated by all shots hitting it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.68.232.253 (talk) 22:27, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since the text also mentions "deflect", shot-trap concerns are reasonable to address, no? BP OMowe (talk)
It is indeed reasonable to address. The reason is twofold. First, modern anti-tank rounds (AFSDS) do not ricochet in the same way that conventional AP rounds did. Second, the wedge on the Leopard 2A5 onward is not solid armor. It's multilayer composite, that absorbs and then internally destabilizes the APFSDS rod before it reaches the final armor plates of the turret front. The shell is meant to penetrate the outermost wedge portion and then be stopped inside it. — Red XIV (talk) 01:21, 14 June 2024 (UTC)`[reply]

Fuel consumption

[edit]

The stated fuel consumption doesn't really sums up. It is stated, that the tanks needs 300 l/100km, yet it reaches with about 1200l of fuel 500km of range. With my maths this it should be about 400km. So either the stated range is wrong or the stated fuel consumption. Wurelbum (talk) 21:20, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fuel consumption is given here, or here as :
  • Road: 340 l/100 km, ie 340 km range ;
  • Offroad: 530 l/100 km, ie 220 km range ;
  • Mixed: 410 l/100 km, ie 280 km range.
  • Even the German's article reported it, before it was removed since it should be even worse now (7t more weight).
  • Bundeswehr confirms (page 7) 414 l/ 100 km, ie 280 km range on road/offroad (mixed) for Leopard 2A5/A6M.
Seems that the data reported in this article are wrong.

Turkey/Syria

[edit]

I'm just trying to provide more references to this section. In December 2016, in the Al Bab offensive, IS have knocked out 10 Leopard 2 tanks (2A4s), and captured 2... it would seem to me, this would appear to be the most amount of action the Leo 2s have seen. If you have better references than I have put in there, please feel free to add. Also odd to see IS as owners of Leo 2s!. Cheers Deathlibrarian (talk) 01:24, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]


One should point out that the 2A4 lacks side, front and turret armory compared to YTD 2A6 and 2A7. 2A4 is basically 30 years old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.239.156.143 (talk) 09:55, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Singapore numbers discrepancy

[edit]

New research does not match old figured whose sources have unfortunately expired. https://www.janes.com/article/86746/idex-2019-calidus-aims-b-250-at-middle-east-north-african-market --Jurryaany (talk) 23:31, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"the same gun currently used on the M1 Abrams"

[edit]

lol This sounds as if the Leopard 2 used the M1 Abrams gun. But it's the other way round: The Abrams use the german Rheinmetall Leopard 2 gun. To be more precise: to be able to fire our caseless ammunition, invented by German Rheinmetall chief engineer Dr. Stefan Thießen. How come that you can wager your boots that English Wiki articles are always full of this sort of subtle, manipulating U.S. propaganda and jingoism, how great they were. Unbefuckinglievable.

I second this. Ever since I joined this community, my stance is always to shoot people like this. The M256, the gun used on the Abrams, is based on the Rh L/44 gun, but there are several differences, the most important being the bore evacuator and the muzzle reference system being changed to fit the Abrams. Thank you for bringing this up, and I will be searching for whoever wrote that. A2Bros (talk) 17:48, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Check the actual article text and not assume. The full text actually says "The primary armament for production versions of the Leopard 2 is the Rheinmetall 120 mm smoothbore gun—the same gun later adapted for use on the M1 Abrams.." now. This is clear that the Leopard 2 had it first. This wording has been in the article for at least 3 years. -Fnlayson (talk) 18:04, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Leo 2 Imp

[edit]

I put it back as a separate variant as it is the missing link between the A4 and the forked development of the A5 and strv 122. The alternative, while keeping the time line intact, would be to insert it at the end of the A4 section, but that too has its problems. BP OMowe (talk)

Unit cost

[edit]

The unit cost is stated to be 5.74 million USD but the source says that these units were surplus , thus, the actual production cost will be higher. Also, the units were both the leopard 2A5 and the 2A6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DillieKoe (talk • contribs) 12:59, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Use in Scandinavia(Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark)

Ukrainian operation

[edit]

With the announcement by the German government of their intention to send Leo 2's, in addition to allowing other nations like Poland and Finland to do so as well, Ukraine should be moved to the list of active operators of the type. Their crews are already training on the tanks in Poland. Brett6781 (talk) 06:22, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deliveries of Leopard 2 have not yet begun to AFU either in Ukraine or Poland. Ukraine will be moved to active operators when there is verifiable evidence of Ukranian possession and use. Reports at time of writing suggest that training is to be arranged. Atomix330 (talk) 13:29, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Image

[edit]

Please, do not use the picture of 2A7+ with Trophy as the primary picture. The picture should represent the topic. Using a picture of the single-made technology demostrator is incorrect, as it doesn't represent this particular tank family. It's a very ambiguous image. Why not using AbramsX pic for M1 Abrams? Why not Panther KF51 for Leopard 2? RajatonRakkaus (talk) 14:36, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Atomix330 sorry, didn't manage to tag. I understand that quality matters. There are okay pictures of Leo 2 in Commons, it's not needed to use the photo of the tank which doesn't even look like Leo 2. RajatonRakkaus (talk) 14:41, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are other photos of the 2A7 on Commons but the one of the demonstrator is visually the clearest - a little further research shows that it is equivalent to the Leopard 2A7+ ordered by Qatar and Hungary. I have found a replacement image of a German 2A7 and I have updated the caption. Atomix330 (talk) 23:16, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
About that picture, it is labelled as a German 2A7 , but the front of the hull looks a lot more like a 2A5, also owned by Germany. Are you sure that it is labelled correctly? Gianfilippo96 (talk) 10:40, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Another reason for choosing a different photo is that the uploader of this particular photo has a history of uploading photos to wikimedia in violation of our WP:COPYVIO policies. Lklundin (talk) 16:30, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page is atrocious, needs to be tidied up

[edit]

There's no logical flow to this entire article. Just looking at it gives me a headache. The order of topics covered starts promisingly with the development, some very precise information about the pre-series and prototypes, and then the quality of the page drops off rapidly, with cobbled together pieces of commercial marketing information from vendors proposing upgrades, to a unreasonably exhaustive coverage of ALL news related to Ukraine in the MIDDLE of the page, which then resumes with the technical details of the vehicle. Just a MESS. The layout I propose: 1. History/development 2. Technical description of vehicle/armament 3. Variants 4. Service history 5. Users, former and current.

Pz 87–140

[edit]

The page mentions the Pz 87–140 as a Swiss prototype and the source is only one single image. I found a potential source from the Military Museum Full, which says it has the prototype as an exhibit. NiciBozz (talk) 08:02, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remove a paragraph

[edit]

> According to Ukrainian soldier Oleksandr Solonko, their ability to withstand damage is superior to Soviet tanks due to its design that stores ammunition separately from the crew to explode outward if struck, enabling crewmembers to survive hits that would be fatal in a T-72 that stows ammunition under the turret. Damaged Leopard 2s can be repaired in Poland or Germany


I think this paragraph should be removed, i don't think Ukrainian soldiers talking about western tech in western interviews are a source reliable enough that it doesn't warrant scrutiny (and i think this statement warrants scrutiny), since the interviewed soldier could be kiss assing western tech, or they could just be plain wrong (soldiers can still be very wrong, just look at all the negative sherman reviews despite it being a great tank)


There is several reasons i am doubting this statement as being credible, first of all what does it mean by "withstand damage"? Because the wording implies not just crew survivability but armor in general, and there are many soviet build (even if modernized) tanks in Ukrainian service like the T-64BV zr 2017 that as far as i am aware of have better armor then the Leopard 2A4, off course there is the Leopard 2A6 but the 2A4 makes up the majority of leopards in UA service


And also the wording implies that the T-72 is a death trap, which it isn't, the CIA actually praised it's crew survivability during the cold war, it's certainly not as survivable as, for example, the abrams with it's blow out panels and more spread apart crew, but the T-72 is still an upgrade over previous generation tanks like the M60, T-62, Chieftain and etc crew survivability wise. That's because as long as the spare turret racks aren't filled the T-72 can't be ammoracked by a hit to the turret (due to the ammo being deep in the hull), making it basically un-explodable if it is hulldown D1d2d3d29 (talk) 18:24, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leopard 2A4HU camouflage pattern.

[edit]

I think we should add this little detail when it comes to the RAL codes for the pattern.

https://forum.htka.hu/threads/hun-harci-eszkoezoek-uj-alcazo-festese.2425/page-9

The person arcas has posted on 2022. July. 29. the following:


Nem is értem, hogy eddig egy újságirónak sem jutott eszébe, hogy a eleresszen egy e-mailt a HM-nek, hogy a sok bemutatott szinváltozat közül végül melyik lesz az, amelyet a MH hivatalos mintájának tekinthetünk ill. hogy hivatalosan miért is ilyen nagy a szórás, ha már milliárdokat ölünk "High-Tech Force"-ra.

Hozzáteszem, Tata adta meg korábban -mondhatjuk hivatalosan- a Leo2A4-ek szinkódjait egyedül:

"A festésminta hivatalos, gyári színkódjai:

1. alapszín (40-50%) a NATO-zöld (RAL 6031);

2. mellékszín (20-25%) a barnásszürke (RAL 7013);

3. első kiegészítő szín (5-10%) az antracitszürke (RAL 7016);

4. második kiegészítő szín (5-10%) a bézs (RAL 1001)."


Briefly, he states he had shot an message to the HDF with question regarding the RAL codes for the leopards and supposedly responded with this.

We have received Gidrán's with the wrong colors, when the lynx was finally put on showcase it was using Rheinmetal's camouflage, etc. This is why it became a discussion and email sent.


I aswell seen a post older than this with the same RAL codes stated, i will try my best to find it again to cite source.

Splitting the variants section of the article to a separate article.

[edit]

Hello, I noticed that the article for Leopard 2 is marked as "Too long to read and navigate comfortably" earlier when I was reading through the article. I suggest we can take the "Variants" segment of the article and make it it's entirely own article, as this would cut down quite a huge chunk of the words on the page. Trashpanda115 (talk) 03:57, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone ahead and created a quick draft article of what the Leopard 2 Variants page should look like. It can be found at Draft:List of Leopard 2 Variants. Please consider checking this draft out, and contributing a few necessary edits to it if you wish. As of the time of posting this reply, a few citations on the draft page are broken, and I do not know how to fix them. Trashpanda115 (talk) 23:53, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's been a T-54/T-55 operators and variants article since 2007. The variants and operators portion of the Leopard 2 article is of similar scale, so splitting the article in a similar fashion would certainly be reasonable. — Red XIV (talk) 01:25, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is exactly the reason I believe the Leopard 2 should have an article similar to this. Not only would it make this article more readable, but it would make it easier to read and access the list of variants, and the list of operators, IF that is added to the article in the end. Trashpanda115 (talk) 01:31, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So the article was denied, Ironically with the comment "Most claims are unsourced." Which means the original variants section in this article is A, not fit for Wikipedia standards, and B, too long for the original article. Not sure what to do moving forwards since I no longer have the time to bother with any of this. Trashpanda115 (talk) Trashpanda115 (talk) 17:54, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Given that the user who declined that draft article was herself indefinitely blocked 2 weeks later for harassment and trolling, I would take that with a grain of salt. While there would certainly be room for more citations to be added, IMO your draft seems worthy of splitting off from this article. — Red XIV (talk) 22:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for bringing me back to this! I kind of forgot about this after getting busy with my own life. If you wish to help to get this back up for creation I would be glad to co-operate with you. Trashpanda115 (talk) 23:30, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Russia as operator

[edit]

Russia has captured some leopard 2s and from what I have seen of some of captured leopards they are in no condition for operation. Additinally why would Russia operate them as they have no spare parts for them. So i suggest removing them from the operators sections and into a separate one UnfairWoodPecker (talk) 02:52, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, and removed. Capture is not operation, and the source didn't support operation. (Hohum @) 14:57, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"In Under One Minute"

[edit]

There is this statement on the Combat History section:

"On 22 October 2024, Leopard 2A4 of the 33rd Mechanized Brigade successfully engaged and destroyed two Russian Armoured Personnel Carriers in less than one minute"

The article in the linked source

https://armyrecognition.com/focus-analysis-conflicts/army/conflicts-in-the-world/russia-ukraine-war-2022/exclusive-ukrainian-leopard-2a4-destroys-two-russian-apcs-in-under-a-minute-showcasing-precision-and-power

does state the same, but the linked video shows only 1 hit APC. Additionally, the video is cut every couple seconds, with at least 10 shots from different angles by the Leopard without showing the impact. In my opinion the phrasing "in under one minute" should be removed as it is unclear how much time passes between the countless jump cuts in the video. Additionally, the video does not clearly indicate 2 APC losses. Definetly 1 hit but unclear to what extent damaged or destroyed, while the other APC retreats before the video ends. 2A02:8108:8A80:753A:A108:B47C:F2AD:F3B9 (talk) 00:44, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I noticed that the external link titled "Leopard 2 Revolution" in the "External links" section is currently dead.

To maintain the quality and usefulness of this article, I propose replacing the dead link with a new, reliable source that provides updated information about the Leopard 2 series.

Suggested replacement link: [1]

The suggested page is informational, focused on the technical and operational aspects of the Leopard 2, and does not contain promotional content.

Thank you for considering this request to help improve the article’s accuracy and resource quality.

[edit]

In the section discussing export of the tank to the Netherlands, there is a typo in the sentence "It is currently unknown if they will be operated in a join German-Dutch division.", the word join should be replaced with joint TheCatboyIcarus (talk) 12:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
