Though by 1970 this project was stopped, West Germany used the components created for the MBT\/KPz-70 to develop a new main battle tank - the Leopard 2. Since 1979, when the first Leopard 2 rolled off the production line, the Leopard 2 has undergone various modifications, and has been exported to various European countries. Enhanced by Osprey's signature colour plates and cutaway artwork, this book examines the development of the Leopard 2 from the first batch to its evolution into the improved Leopard 2 A5, detailing its features and variants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45084824338583,"sku":"9781855326910","price":1363.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781855326910.webp?v=1769201655","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/leopard-2-main-battle-tank-1979-98-9781855326910","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
