#Leopard2

Photo Of The Day: When I was a kid, the German Flakpanzer Gepard was my all-time favourite tank. Finland has a similar take on the concept. They moved their existing Marksman turrets, a British short-range air defense system, from old T-55AM chassis to new Leopard 2 chassis. The main armament of ItPsv90 is two 35 mm Oerlikon autocannons holding 440 rounds of fragmentation and 40 anti-tank rounds. The Leopard is powered by a V-12 diesel engine with 620 hp and probably more torque than we can count.

The FN F2000 is the standard issue rifle for the Slovenian Armed Forces. In case you think you see it rarely it’s because FN Herstal has stopped the production. It was probably released a few hundred years too early, don’t you think?

Photo Of The Day – We are looking at a spectacular picture of a U.S. Army Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, from 1st Battalion, 3rd Aviation Regiment, 12th Combat Aviation Brigade, as it provides overwatch for a Danish Leopard 2 battle tank moving into initial battle position on a live-fire range on Oksbol Training Area, Denmark. The photo is from 2015.

One of the key players in this Photo Of The Day is the German Main Battle Tank, the Leopard 2A6.
