maddin Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 HelloI always thought the new Leopard 2 A7+ has a bomblet protection on top of the turret like the swedish Leopard 2 (Stridsvagn 122) or the spnish (Leopardo). But I'm not so sure anymore. I tried to find some information but couldn't find any. Anybody here who knows more?RegardsMartin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmbpdk Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 The info´s ive found, only says that it has 360 RPG protection.Perhaps thats what someone "translated" to top-bomblets protection 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLabor Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 The one presented at the Eurosatory 2010 exhibition hadn't anything on the roof (in terms of protection).Externally speaking the 2A7 differs from it's predecessors by the addition of side armor (turret and hull), the RWS, new commander sight and 2 cameras for the driver station . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddin Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Taking a good look at pictures of the Leopard 2 A7+ it doesn't look like he has bomblet protection. I guess the only picture who are out are the one of the demonstrator. Anyway, I think it is odd to design a tank for urban environment with a lot of extra protection around and not on the top. Most of the cities have buildings hihger than one floor which makes it easy to shoot at the tank from a high roof right on top of it.Regards Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
