Facts about the LEGUAN LEOPARD 2
The LEGUAN LEOPARD 2 offers the mobility of the LEOPARD 2 main battle tank and a maximum of identical logistics. The 14 m and 26 m bridges comply with the strictest MLC 80 load carrying capacity requirements and offer potential for further expansion. A modern, integrated measurement system ensures a safe and automatic recognition of the crossing capacity that has already been used, thus enabling the remaining bridge load capacity to be precisely calculated.
In addition to a modern and high-performance protection concept, this system offers many additional equipment features, such as a cooling system, auxiliary power generator and all-round vision gear, which guarantee top-notch performance and endurance.
The armed forces of nine nations already rely on the superiority of the LEGUAN LEOPARD 2 today. As of 2023, it is possible to plan and design collective supply concepts, further developments and modification projects in close conjunction with the MBT LEOPARD 2 courtesy of the Leo User Club.
