Leopard 2A5/A5NL

Leopard 2A5/A5NL Leopard 2A5/A5NL
Als 1979 der erste Kampfpanzer Leopard 2 an die Bundeswehr übergeben
wurde, war dieser für die nächsten Jahre der weltweite Maßstab bezüglich
Beweglichkeit, Schutz und Bewaffnung. Die 2.125 für die Bundeswehr bis 1992
produzierten Leoparden wurden während der Produktion fortlaufend verbes-
sert, was letztlich zu der Version Leopard 2A4 führte. Der Kalte Krieg forderte
jedoch immer leistungsstärkere Waffensysteme. Da ein komplett neuer
Kampfpanzer verworfen wurde, konzipierte man stattdessen ein umfangreiches
Kampfwertsteigerungsprogramm für den Leopard 2A4. Der daraus entstandene
Leopard 2A5 unterscheidet sich markant von den bisherigen Versionen. Das bis
dahin bekannte Erscheinungsbild mit den senkrechten Turmwänden wurde
durch die Verwendung von Vorsatzmodulen völlig verändert. Das Periskop des
Kommandanten erhielt - weltweit erstmalig bei einem Kampfpanzer - ein
Wärmebildgerät, der Fahrer eine Rückfahrkamera. Weniger auffällig, aber wich-
tig, war der Tausch der alten hydraulischen Richtanlage gegen eine elektrische.
Die elektrische Anlage erlaubt genaueres Steuern bei gleichzeitigem Entfall der
gesamten anfälligen Hochdruckhydraulik-Anlage. Eigenschaften wie Unter -
wasser fahrfähigkeit, ABC-Schutz usw. blieben erhalten. Die neuen Turmfront -
zusatz elemente haben die Aufgabe, die erste Energie der anfliegenden
Geschosse zu brechen und diese aus der Bahn zu bringen. Die Restenergie wird
von der verbesserten Basispanzerung aufgefangen.
Die Kampfwertsteigerung wurde zusammen mit den Niederlanden und der
Schweiz entwickelt, aber nur von Deutschland (A5) und den Niederlanden
(A5NL) umgesetzt. Bei der Bundeswehr wurden zunächst 225 Umrüstungen von
Leopard 2A4 auf 2A5 beauftragt. Dafür hat man die damals neusten
Fahrgestelle (Baulose 6, 7 und 8) und die älteren Türme (bis Baulos 5) des
Leopard 2A4 herangezogen. Bei den nächsten 125 Umrüstungen wurde darauf
nicht mehr geachtet, was dazu führte, dass die Leopard 2A5 Flotte in Details
Unterschiede aufweist. Durch die verbesserte Panzerung, den Wegfall der
Hydraulik und das Wärmebildgerät des Kommandanten konnte der Leopard 2A5
1995 als neuste Version des Leopard 2 wieder die führende Position als Kampf -
panzer zementieren. Er wurde durch die Niederlande bei SFOR und Deutschland
bei KFOR auf dem Balkan eingesetzt.

When the first Leopard 2 battle tank was handed over to the Federal German
Army in 1979, for years it set the worldwide standard for manoeuvrability,
armour and armament. The 2,125 Leopards produced for the German Army up
to 1992 were continuously improved during production, which ultimately gave
rise to the Leopard 2A4 version. The Cold War however required ever more pow-
erful weapons systems. As a completely new battle tank had been ruled out,
instead of this an extensive combat capability upgrade programme was desi-
gned for the Leopard 2A4. The resulting Leopard 2A5 had striking differences
from the previous versions. The previous well-known appearance with the verti-
cal turret walls was totally altered by the use of add-on modules. The comman-
der’s periscope received thermal imaging equipment – a world first on a battle
tank – and the driver a reversing camera. Less striking, but no less important, was
the replacement of the old hydraulic aiming device by an electric one. The elec-
trical system provided more accurate control without needing all the vulnerable
high pressure hydraulic equipment. Features such as fording capability, NBC pro-
tection etc remained. The new frontal attachments are designed to break the
initial impact of incoming missiles and deflect them. The remaining energy is
absorbed by the improved basic armour.
The combat capability upgrade was developed jointly with Holland and
Switzerland, but only implemented by Germany (A5) and Holland (A5NL). The
German Army first ordered 225 upgrades of Leopard 2A4 to 2A5. For this pur-
pose the then latest chassis (batches 6, 7 and 8) and the older turrets (up to
batch 5) of the Leopard 2A4 were used. For the next 125 upgrades nothing fur-
ther was considered, which meant that the Leopard 2A5s differ in details. By
means of improved armour, the elimination of the hydraulic system, and the
addition of commander’s thermal imaging equipment, in 1995 the Leopard 2A5,
as the latest version of the Leopard 2, cemented its position as the leading batt-
le tank. It was used by Holland with SFOR and Germany with KFOR in the
Balkans.

Should I paint my Revell model before or after it is built? Verified

Revell recommends painting it before building it. In some cases it is smart to partially assemble pieces if they all need to be painted in the same colour.
