Hmm, there might just be a Leopard in that video that’s had multiple refits & upgrades that’s a Leopard 1A5 today.

Can’t you tell from all the sideburns? :rofl:

It’s a fascinating film, and some real surprises - I love the way they install the swing arms with a special hoist, and then a guy with a cartoon rubber mallet whacks 'em home.

Sideburns were in for a long time it seems, at least in the States lol!
