Should get a few LEOPARD 2 PSO as well. It's highly mobile n
extremely well protected. It's also suitable for use against single
targets n optimally so in both built-up n non built-up
terrain.
It includes components that allow it to accomplish assignments in
urban areas n asymmetric threats. They include highly effective
all-round protection, sec weapon station that's operable under
protection(7.62 mm or 12.7 mm MG or 40 mm AGL), option for
equipping with non-lethal effective means, high performance camera
sys for close ob, enhanced recon ability, search light n
dozer-blade for barricade removal.
The asymmetrical threat comes from all sides: AT mines, hand held
weapons, grenades, IEDs, etc. KMW has already developed and tested
a new mine protection kit for Leopard 2 n Leopard 2 PSO. This
provides high level of protection against AT mines n explosively
formed penetrator-type ordnance.
New advanced passive armour side-skirts will be fitted above front
five road wheels n extra turret side armour added that extends to
rear of turret bustle.
Aside from extremely high all-round n mine protection sys, it has
additional components making it highly suitable for deployment in
urban areas under all climatic cond. It has a high-performance
cooling unit, APU, modern guiding sys n equipped for 24 hr battle.
For optimum ob day n night, it's also fitted out with a 360 deg
camera sys, most up-to-date IR equip n outside comm point for
infantry.
Now with all this,weight will be a problem. Increased from normal
Leo2 MBT.
