About the Leopard 2 A7V
In 2017, it was decided to give the Bundeswehr Leopard 2 an upgrade with the A7V, an improved version of the Leopard 2 A7 (A7 was an upgrade of the 2001 Leopard A6). The A7V has additional hull front armor to increase its survivability, with reinforced suspension. Its L/55 120mm gun can take on enemy armor up to five kilometers away. Other design evolutions include a sight device to amplify vision in poor visibility, new tracks and a new turret rear basket. 104 existing tanks are to be upgraded to A7V spec, and units began receiving them in September 2021.
