These German tanks are now the armored fist of the North Atlantic Alliance, but they have been adopted not only in NATO countries. Over half a century, the FRG industry has produced almost 5 thousand "Leopards-1" and more than 3.5 thousand "Leopards-2", as well as armored and special vehicles based on them, mastering unique technologies in engine building, metallurgy, optoelectronics, and other advanced industries. The book by a well-known historian of armored vehicles traces the entire path of development and combat use of the "Leopards" - from their debut in Kosovo and Bosnia in 1999 to service in Afghanistan, from the first versions of "Leopard-1" with 70mm armor and 105mm gun to the latest modifications of "Leopard-2" with the powerful 120mm smoothbore gun by Rheinmetall, advanced fire control system, laser rangefinders, thermal imagers, and electronic ballistic computers, which adjust not only for speed and range, but also for wind, temperature, atmospheric pressure, gun trunnion axis tilt, and barrel wear, ensuring guaranteed target hit with the first shot. The edition is illustrated with numerous exclusive photographs and projections.
