Tank question
 

Can anyone tell me, if he definitely knows, what exactly the parts on this Leo2HEL are? I made it easy by placing circles around them. :D

The baskets on each side of the turret are for storage. The object on the turret may be the commander's periscope with roof armour over the top.

I don't know about the part (buckle??) above the smoke dischargers. Here's a close up. Anyone?

Is that the standard Greek colour scheme for the Leo 2 ?

Thank you redcoat2. That's from an issue of ΣΤΡΑΤΗΓΙΚΗ (the company behind other magazines of its type and the portal defencenet.gr) that I no longer have. :( Good thing you have that copy lol. One thing is actually two, numbers 5 and 6. Independent panoramic periscope of leader (commander I guess) type PERI R-17A2 and its extra armour.
Number 12 is a simple basket, I didn't think of that.
That round part is a bit weird. Perhaps it is a mini fridge. We like our coffees ice cold. :)



DRG, yes that is the standard colour now days. I believe that is the standard colour for all new vehicles of the army too. Although I doubt they will paint everything (older) any time soon, perhaps in time. I read somewhere recently that they decided to change it as it was making a better job, plus it has some special coating or something against laser targeting, but what how, I don't know. I didn't even know it was possible to begin with.
