023 Leopard 2A4P - Leo 2 with Lahat missile (...) To be removed as for now IMO.
I've found, that in 2009 Polish MoD ordered a batch of HE ammunition, what would need also slight FCS modification. According to a Polish military magazine http://polska-zbrojna.pl/index.php?o...owe&Itemid=165 there was a meeting in November 2011 between tankers and ammunition designers and producers, to prepare putting the ammo into service. Chief of training of the 10th Brigade claimed, that "probably soon" HE ammunition will be commissioned.

So, I suggest to keep #022 with VIRSS but without HE (from 1/106, as it is now, though I don't know, when actually Polish Leos received VIRSS) and #023 from some 6/112 with HE but without Lahat.
