Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Step inside one of the most important main battle tank families of the modern era and follow its evolution from Cold War deterrence to the realities of high-intensity combat in Ukraine. This is a focused, evidence-led journey through the decisions, upgrades, crews, battlefield experience, and military systems that transformed a German design into a tank operated across Europe and beyond.Leopard 2 - From Cold War Development to Ukraine by Stephen Rowen traces the complete story of Germany's main battle tank, connecting technical design with operational consequence. From the collapse of the ambitious MBT-70 program and the Leopard 2AV trials to the A4, A5, A6, A7, national variants, and the emerging Leopard 2A8, every stage is explained within the military requirements that shaped it.Inside, you will discover:¿ How the Leopard 2 was created - the Cold War requirements, prototypes, American comparative trials, production decisions, and technological choices behind the original vehicle.¿ How the tank actually works as a fighting system - armor, the 120 mm gun, ammunition, optics, crew arrangement, mobility, maintenance, recovery, and the operational consequences behind the specifications.¿ How different armies transformed the Leopard 2 - from Germany and the Netherlands to Sweden's Strv 122, Poland, Finland, Spain, Greece, Canada, Denmark, and other national fleets.¿ What combat revealed - Afghanistan, Turkish operations in Syria, and the demanding experience of Ukraine, including mines, artillery, drones, battlefield recovery, damaged vehicles, logistics, training, and adaptation.Modern Battlefield Tanks is built for readers who want to understand why a tank became what it is, how armies expect it to fight, what is required to keep it operational, and what real-world evidence reveals once engineering meets the battlefield.Read less.…
