Tomorrow is the official roll-out of the brandnew Leopard 2 A8 MBT.
It has nothing to do with the Amusing Hobby release.

Do you know what the differences are from the Leopard 2A7A1?

My speculation from the photos…
- It has radar for the Trophy Active Protection System
- It has a skate ring for the loader, so potentially it has a machine gun for the loader like the M1A2
- It has a CITV for the tank commander
- It might do away with Chobham armor because Chobham armor is flat plate and the front of the turret is very narrow. If there’s any Chobham, it is further inside the turret face, or the Germans developed their own composite sandwich matrix

First, the tank is new-build, not refurbished. Details of the tank will be unveiled later. I heard that the interior is totally new. Totally new Bedienkonzept. There will be a 123 vehicle batch now, some 200 later.
