description: The Leopard (or Leopard 1) is a main battle tank designed and produced
|
|
by Porsche in West Germany that first entered service in 1965. Developed in an era
|
|
when HEAT warheads were thought to make conventional heavy armour of limited value,
|
|
the Leopard focused on firepower in the form of the German-built version of the
|
|
British L7 105-mm gun, and improved cross-country performance that was unmatched
|
|
by other designs of the era. The Leopard quickly became a standard of many European
|
|
militaries, and eventually served as the main battle tank in over a dozen countries
|
|
worldwide, with West Germany, Italy and the Netherlands being the largest operators
|
|
until their retirement. Currently, the largest operators are Greece, with 520 vehicles,
|
|
Turkey, with 397 vehicles and Brazil with 378 vehicles.
