not tru here is the official website of the dutch military
Leopard 2 A6 battle tank
The Leopard 2 A6 is a heavy battle tank intended to create superiority on the battlefield in an attack, delay or defense. This 60-ton monster is the most powerful weapon system of the army. Thanks to the cooperation with Germany in the 414 Tank Battalion, 43 Mechanized Brigade can use 18 modernized tanks from a common pool. with full dutch crews
Since it is Dutch, why do they use German markings and serve in Lower Saxony? 😂
They will never accept that these tanks belong to the Netherlands which they do.
they are under the 43 Gemechaniseerde Brigade station in Havelte the Netherlands
the fire range for tanks is in lower saxony the are in the netherlands or overder but official home base is Havelte the Netherlands
The Dutch in French TT was the least required decision. Belgium would’ve been enough. Now we’re basically getting straight German vehicles in French TT. But Canadian Leos in Brit TT was too much for Gaizilla.
Spanish CAF M-41/ 60 E
Upgrades included Cummins VT-903T engine, Allison CD-500-3 transmission and the 60mm HVMS gun.
The Indian SPAA variant
The tall structure is due to the entire complex of the AK-630, which includes the 2000 rounds magazine, whereas AK-306 only has a much smaller 500 rounds belt stored inside the turret.
AK-630 is also water-cooled compared to air-cooled AK-306.
Well, either way it works out. The tank can go for the Dutch and the Germans. The Dutch has operated a full crew on them and uses them along with the Germans as said in the Ministry of Defense’s site. I see this as a win-win
That’s actually hilarious

Leopard 2A6(V)
- Kontact-1 ERA Tiles have been installed on the hull sides and LFP/UFP, a retractable drone net, cage armor, and more. They belong to the 21st Infantry Division. There’s a couple of these vehicles in that unit where these field mods have become a standard. Pairs well with my Leopard 2A4V suggestion:
Object 244, part of IS-2 alternate armament project.
This variant was armed with the D-5T-85BM. A higher velocity variant of D-5T.
Shell speed was of 900m/s rather than the 792m/s of the D-5T.
BTR-80 with thermal camo and QW-18 manpads.
