Re: Updates in light of Ukraine war
Don,
Seen that to just wasn't sure about it.
Well, I'm going to " hang my butt out there" to by SUGGUSTING the tanks might be the LEOPARD 1A5 POSSIBALY equipped with the 120mm/L44.
The LEOPARD 1A5 is the ONLY ONE in that series designed to mount that weapon. The weapon was tested on that platform and a further development of it came with the LEOPARD 1A6 which didn't get beyond the Prototype Stage due to the LEOPARD 2 fielding in numbers that the LEOPARD 1A6 wouldn't have made practical sense due to improvements of the former and cost. The following is USA TRACOC source both listed A15/6 at the bottom

I might've one upped you here!?! 
More on this later, got get someone lunch and to the airport!!
Regards,
Pat
