Basic data of the Leopard 2 main battle tank, the main battle tank of the Leopard 2PSO

<> "Leopard 2PSO main battle tank.

Everyone must remember the street battles in Grozny vividly! That battle raised the important issue of street fighting with main battle tanks, and triggered relevant professional and technical research. In this context, a main battle tank called the Leopard 2PSO was launched, which received wide attention from the outside world.

It is reported that this tank was developed by the German Klaus Maffei Co., Ltd. with a huge investment, and was formed on the basis of absorbing the technology of the Leopard 2A5 tank. The tank was first unveiled in 2008, and its accessories and equipment can meet the subsequent improvement needs of the Leopard 2 series of main battle tanks, and German companies have upgraded the Leopard 2A5 tank as a technical reference, mainly because of its advanced performance, such as the installation of side armor protection kits and an anti-spall lining structure. Another example is the improved accuracy and breadth of sighting, as well as the installation of a special thermal imaging system.

In addition to the above reasons, the above choices are directly related to the size of the Leopard 2A5. It is understood that the Leopard 2A5 can adjust the installation of smoothbore guns according to actual needs, not only can install 44 times the diameter, but also can be replaced with 55 times the diameter, which is very important for street fighting! Hidden and positive.

From the point of view of armor-piercing performance, the short-barreled main gun certainly does not go to the long-barreled, but this does not overshadow its advantages. In order to meet the tactical needs of striking opponents in high places during street fighting, the developers eliminated the self-defense machine gun in the upper part of the Leopard 2PSO turret and replaced it with a remote-controlled turret. In this way, it can not only meet the installation of smoke grenade launchers, but also meet the use of heavy machine guns and automatic grenade launchers, and it is easier to carry out large elevation angle operations through full-angle rotation.

From a technical point of view, this design incorporates day and night aiming technology, and the operation becomes safer and more reliable.

Of course, the focus of this upgrade is on protective armor to enhance the ability to deal with non-frontal attacks. Rumor has it that the above upgrades are mainly around the improvement of the hull and side armor, and the Leopard 2A6 tank is the best in the Leopard 2A6 tank. According to the previous ****, the new armor can resist the attack of anti-tank rockets and so on.

At the same time as the upgrade, the tank did not change the engine, but only added a bulldozer blade for the purpose of clearing obstacles. It is worth noting that the new equipment is equipped with a camera, which allows for a wider field of view; State-of-the-art air conditioning is installed to make it easier for the crew to carry out their missions.

Although the overall performance is good, the Leopard 2PSO is not really in service, which is a pity!

"The latest improved model of the Leopard 2 family, the biggest feature is that it is equipped with a 120 mm smoothbore gun of 55 times the caliber, and the muzzle velocity reaches 2,000 meters per second, the highest in the world. Coupled with powerful armor and power systems, the Leopard 2A6 can hunt any kind of main battle tank in the world."

German Leopard 2A6 [.]

Combat full weight: more than 60 tons.

Vehicle length: m.

Vehicle width: meters.

Vehicle height: m.

Crew: 4 people.

Relevant experts from all over the world have spoken highly of the Leopard 2A6, believing that it represents the top level of contemporary tank building technology. In the ranking of main battle tanks in various countries around the world over the years, the Leopard 2A6 has always ranked in the top few places, and once occupied the top spot. In this way, the Leopard 2A6 has become the target of many national armies.

Armor protection: gap-type composite main armor, bulletproof capacity reached 400 420mm homogeneous steel plate. The front of the turret is equipped with a wedge-type front armor protection assembly, the inner surface of the turret is equipped with an anti-spall lining, and the track skirts are also equipped with improved composite armor to improve the protection against kinetic and chemical projectiles.

The outstanding feature of the Leopard IIa6M is the world's leading level of protection against mines, these components include additional passive armor installed under the tank floor, a new type of hull escape hatch, improved driver, commander, gunner and loader seats, etc.; In addition, the ammunition storage area at the bottom of the vehicle was also vacated, so that the tank crew no longer had to worry about "sitting on a powder keg". They can move flexibly through minefields without fear of mines breaking tracks or blowing up armor to detonate ordnance. Many military experts believe that at present, when most tanks attack, they need sappers to clear the minefields on the road ahead of time, or there are demining vehicles to accompany them to clear the obstacles on the road, and the service of the new "Leopard 2" will make it possible to change this traditional combat mode and grouping, thereby greatly increasing the attack speed of ground armored forces.

Fire control device: The command ritual fire control system is easy to stabilize and has a high shooting hit rate on moving targets during the march because it is a sight with a small stable mass and a composite circuit of position and speed. The commander has a round hatch that opens backwards and a periscope for 360° viewing, and a Peri-R17 stabilized peri-sight main sight with 2 and 8 magnifications in front of the hatch.

The gun commander has 1 stabilized EMES 15 periscope sight with double magnification, which includes a laser rangefinder and a thermal imaging device. Both the commander and the gun commander can capture targets in all-weather conditions, and both the gun commander and the gun commander can open fire. Not only can the commander see through his eyepiece an image of his own daytime observations, but his monitor can also display an image of the gunner's daytime observations.

Replacing the hydraulic system with an all-electric gun control and turret control system is both safe and reduces noise.

That's all I know...

Haha, the one upstairs has already answered in detail, but its main gun is not the first in the world, the first should be the M1A2 SEP, the main gun caliber is 120mm, 44 times the diameter, and the use of M829E3 armor-piercing elastic energy exceeds the 55 times the diameter of the Leopard 2A6 120 gun.

When will Leopard copy 2A6 be ranked first? Joke. Raid.

The firepower is not as good as the American M1A2, the protection is not as good as the M1A2, the Challenger 2 and many other tanks, the protection is at most average, which is why the Leopard 2 is constantly increasing the additional armor by simply increasing the weight to improve the defense, the result is that the defense is slightly improved, but the mobility is reduced a lot.

The so-called first of the Leopard 2 series has always been blown out.

The function of the automatic loader is to improve the efficiency of the charge. The former Soviet Union attached great importance to tanks, and because the application of automatic loaders could reduce the size of tanks by reducing the crew of a tank, the former Soviet Union was the first country to equip tanks with automatic loaders, which was the first of a generation.

The third-generation main battle tank refers to the main battle tank developed and equipped by the state after the completion of the development of the former Soviet T-64 (after the 60s of the 20th century).

Now the so-called modern main battle tank refers to the third and fourth generation main battle tanks, of which the automatic loader is the standard equipment of the third generation main battle tank. So all modern main battle tanks have automatic loaders.
