December 10 in Germany was handed over to the first serial tank Leopard 2A7. Currently, the company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann executes an order to build 20 of these armored vehicles. Most of the work has already been done on request. Transfer the last series tanks to be held in the near future. It is expected that the implementation of the current and following orders will significantly improve the combat capability of tank units.


The Bundeswehr was the first tank Leopard 2A7

The handover ceremony of the first tank Leopard 2A7 was held at the company's plant in Munich Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW). The car took personally Inspector General Land Forces Lieutenant General Rainer Korff. The Inspector General noted that the troops more than happy with the new tank, and called the day of transfer of the first machine of a new modification a good day for the army. So far, the Bundeswehr should only get two dozen armored vehicles of the new model. In the future we plan to make new orders, which will significantly increase the number of such equipment.

The plans of the German Ministry of Defence has a conversion of all existing Leopard 2A6 tanks to modification 2A7. It is noteworthy that sent tanks have now updated it is the "origin". Modernized now Leopard 2A7 tanks previously treated modification 2A6NL, build for the Netherlands. After the Netherlands abandoned tanks, part of the decommissioned "Leopard" was bought by Canada, which has recently passed several cars in Germany. Last transmission technology became compensation for tanks Leopard 2A6AM, formerly owned by the German army and sent to Canadian military.

Due to the small number of upgraded Leopard 2A7 tanks until transferred to only one unit. 20 tanks will be transferred to 203 th Tank Battalion stationed in Augustdorf. Currently, this unit has 44 tanks Leopard 2A6. In accordance with existing plans, in the future this battalion, as well as other tank units of the Bundeswehr must be fully translated into tanks model 2A7.

The main tank Leopard 2A7 (also known under the designation 2A7 +) was created with reference to the requirements of contemporary armed conflicts. Local wars of the last decades have shown that for effective work in urban combat and other specific conditions of the tanks should have a number of features that increase their level of protection and other basic features. Leopard 2A7 project was first presented in 2010.

Modernized tanks get a new set of reservations, which provides an increased level of protection against various weapons. Declared vserakurskaya protection against anti-tank grenades common models. The hull and turret can be equipped with additional hinged elements of the reservation, but first shown a copy of Leopard 2A7 tank during the transmission was not equipped with them. At the bottom of the machine is proposed to install additional armor protection against mines and other explosive devices.

Tank of the new model retains the 120-mm smoothbore gun Rheinmetall Rh 120 with a barrel length of 55 calibers. The modernization of the gun gets a complete set of electrical drives. In ammunition guns including the latest sabots Rheinmetall DM63 APFSDS-T and a programmable high-explosive Rheinmetall DM11. This update ammunition, is expected to enhance the ability of the tank to defeat armored vehicles or other purposes.

Additional armament Leopard 2A7 tank consists of a coaxial machine gun 7.62 mm. Previously stated that the project «2A7» involves the use of remotely controlled weapon stations KMW FLW 200, equipped with a 12.7-mm machine gun M2HB. This combat module is designed to monitor the situation close to the tank and defeat infantry or light equipment of the enemy approaching him and threatening. Nevertheless, the modernized tanks for financial reasons have not yet received a combat unit. Perhaps these units will be installed later.

An interesting innovation is the auxiliary power unit. This unit is designed to provide power to all systems of the tank when the main engine running, which reduces fuel consumption and total cost of operating equipment.

For added convenience, the crew and to improve the effectiveness of combat missions Leopard 2A7 tank is equipped with a sunroof, driver updated design with new surveillance systems, as well as new air conditioning and a number of other equipment. The commander and gunner have modern sighting equipment, which are used in the construction of third-generation thermal imagers. Initially argued that the workplace is equipped with the commander stabilized panoramic sight with laser range finder, a video camera and thermal imager Airbus Defence and Space PERI-17A3. However, according to some reports, recently converted tanks were panoramic sight that model. This older PERI-17A2, equipped with the new thermal imagers.

Now the company KMW completes the first order for the delivery of 20 upgraded tanks. In the future, the Ministry of Defense of Germany plans to modernize the entire existing fleet of tanks Leopard 2A6. German Armed Forces have a total of about 2.3 thousand tanks "Leopard 2" all modifications. According to the handbook The Military Balance 2013, a German armored units have 322 tank cars Leopard 2A6. According to more recent data to German media reports, the number of such equipment by about a hundred less.

The exact amount and timing of upgrading existing equipment has not been announced. Probably, the army will receive only a few dozen "Leopard" in the version 2A7, while other tanks will remain in its current form. The exact number of repaired and upgraded armored vehicles will be determined based on available funding. Conversion of the entire fleet of Leopard 2A6 tanks may be too expensive for the German armed forces.
