N-L-M 261 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 We've seen those sensors in pictures for several years now, funny that so-called "news" outlets are only picking up on it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reta 7 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Leopard 2A7A1 with Trophy APS. Credits to Krauss-Maffei Wegmann for the image: Definitely the best looking trophy integration by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beer 301 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 The big radars infront of the turret frontal armour are the first thing to be hit by whatever shoots on the tank. Even the turret rotation among bushes or in any tight environment can damage them because they move at very wide circle. Don't know if it can be solved in a different way with Leo II, but I feel like in a real combat environment they will be damaged or destroyed pretty quickly just like similarly placed IR searchlights usually were.
