To come back a bit on the topic, the Swiss MBT need an other change I think.
The upgrade in 2007 of the Leopard 2 tank (Unit 026 - Pz 87 LEO WE) isn't as it could be.
First the extra Armor hasn't been fitted on any of the tanks other then the prototyp and the automatic weapon station on the roof will not be completed at all.
So my suggestion would be to delay the date on Unit 876 for at least 1 year (2009) - because that would represant the full upgrade that would be possible in 2009.
And change the Unit 026 to introduncing 2008 with following modifications:
1st use the picture from Unit 027 (lbm32115) and therefore the same armor as in this earlier version.
2nd swap Weapon2 (228) back to Weapon No 226.
The upgrade is mainly cancelled or delayed due cost reasons and some problems with the new tower equipement.
