Canadian Leopard 2A6M: Just got a bit hotter for the enemy

[@sobekflakmonkey]

Thank you, Germany; all of us in Canada appreciate such an awesome tank. :D

And we Americans don't >:(

EDF Ranger but the Abrams have a German gun a 120 Rheinmetallborsig L/44

[@thekaiseriswiser4451]

Merdarion GER Just not the same design, speed or tank in general, though it is nice that we both have the same cannon then

[@Fengris]

Indeed as a German I can tell you seriously: We Germans love Canada and the Canadians.

[@liammiddleton6085]

yep

[@denmark39]

Fengris How about the Danes? lol we got them too

[@P.T._aus_B.]

Greetings to Canada from Berlin! Thank you for your service!

[@SuperBenblake]

I love Canada. I'll be up there in Montreal soon- heaven on earth. Fight to keep it free and always believe in yourselves. You're the best. Love from America, Ben

[@tavish4699]

I like canadians , theyr good soldieres and the best thing about them they left germany first because they knew theyr job was done

[@fatdad64able]

Thank you so much Canada for purchasing this tank. I wish you best of luck with this new weapon. May it always protect you.

[@John-mq9fx]

I have had the pleasure of attending events at the Ontario Regiment Museum in Oshawa Ontario. Seeing the Leoprad 1A5 there impressed this civie. Now the 2A6M? Wow. So glad this great 'kit' has found its way to our forces. Thanks for this info video. Much appreciated.

[@schlawa]

I heard our Canadian friends are putting them to good use in Afghanistan. Good luck to all ISAF soldiers and thanks for your service.

[@anderseriksen2282]

Congratulation Canada, from a Dane, nice cooperating with you buddys around the would. Merry Christmas to you all

[@Friesenmicha]

Thank you. I am in the Bundeswehr 1978 by the Tankhunter Kanonenjäger whis the 90 mm Kanon .This was very hard vor the Anamys lol

[@Drummen4tw]

@gajustempus no sir you´re wrong the lmg are made by heckler&koch and the cannon is made by Rheinmetall in germany! the us army is buying this cannon from germany and not the german from an us company

[@Dreadnaught396]

I start my training for Armoured Soldier in August. Really excited and hope I get to use one of these beasts.

[@Tankliker]

So, did you got used to it now?

[@Dreadnaught396]

@@Tankliker I ended up leaving before basic was finished. I was misinformed about a lot of things, conflicting info from recruitment office and the actual role.

[@Tankliker]

@@Dreadnaught396 OK, I hoped to hear a nice story that you became an tank commander already or things like that. But I won't say you failed or anything. Military is a hard field and if everybody could join then it wouldn't be was it is, even if it means that you didn't lasted there.

Germans make the best tanks, it has always been true since WW2

[@jamesbaird1149]

Proves how much you know about international warfare...

[@KestrelE]

what you wanna say with these command? name me one tank who can beat a Normal Bundeswehr Leopard 2 Group down? I dont know one.. maybe some T-90's but only if they got good soldiers on it, but no matter what tank, if u got bad commerades in the tank you wont have a chance against any tank.

[@FIRSTtimeGAMER22]

ww2 were more over engineerd

[@МаксимШишкин-э1д]

Germans lost WW2

[@Tankliker]

@ItzNeXuZ questionable, from a technically standpoint, maybe. From a userfriendlyness one, maybe. The Americans had the most reliable one with the Sherman and the soviets had there T-34, which has a wide range of quality. On some you could litterly put a hand i between the armoure plates. The German tanks where pretty much high quality tank based on proven technology which was used to the point it couldn't withstand the roughness of the battelfield. Beautiful to look at, ugly to use, overpowered in a 1v1 situation I would say.

[@CHOP181095]

i love canada greetings from germany

[@treadheadpete4770]

You had me at Canadian Leopard!

[@doublehirn]

God I love german war machinery. good memories of my time in the military.

[@47LN81]

The base at Muster was great,but our mess halls in(that were in) Lahr were better....and we had the CC club....Germany was a great overseas posting.

[@CptWillardGERHan]

hope our Machine will save a bunch full of ur lifes lifes. greeting from a former Gepard- Officer from Soltau near Munster - the Point of western Defence

[@JazzJaRa]

@Battery9876 Its almost the same as the M829A3 but we use the DM63 with tungsten. Yes the new Leopard has also the ability of firing controlled guided rounds and also LAHAT missiles.

[@psychoyuri3283]

Comrades of Canada, treath our tanks good! A message from the Netherlands

[@BallisticDamages]

Can't wait for my course to start so i can be trained on this beast.

[@ExtremelyFlamable100]

@Captatiobenevolenti ? there is a leopard 3 ? or do you mean the A7?

[@GrosPainChaud]

German engineering ftw!

[@user-ne3ze4zz7r]

1:24 so cool when all the bullets bounce off the target! :D

[@crazynaska]

Canada has bought 100 of these tanks from the Dutch surplus and 20 on contract from Germany. I think that some of the 100 are older models but will in time be upgraded to the 2A6M. Finaly the Canadian DOD has made the right choice in getting the Leopard 2A6M as it is the best tank in the world! I would like to see Canada have 200 of these bad boys!

[@JoeChalk9]

Dear Germany, I love you too, Yours truly, Canada

[@couteau86]

Do not forget that the Leopard 2 A7/A7+ (difference is the gun, A7 has the Rheinmetall 120mm L/55, A7+ has the Rheinmetall 120mm L/44) is a specialized version for the uraban warfare ;)

[@TankNutJohn89]

@Drummen4tw: What? The M256 is made by Watervliet Arsenal, a US-Company. It's identical to the german Rheinmetall L/44. The US just bought the license, that they are allowed to produce this Gun too.

[@CorsetLebelle]

So glad we finaly desided to retire the leopard one and get the 2

[@gertinobile1418]

This Tank beats all!

[@derey0815]

@nextMichealLebron23 Du weißt, dass er die Panzertruppenschule bzw. Übungsplatz Munster meint ;)

[@jimmartin7932]

Its a "large kitty"! Meow

[@Change6609]

I'm sure the Leopards were acquired from the Netherlands!

[@swunt10]

they managed to fit in a clima control. nobody thought about it before. in germany its usually cold not hot^^ and the canadiens just bought and rented dutch and german tanks so they needed to first buy all and than upgrade them.

[@krzykid6969]

CANADIANS HAVE TANKS???? wohh thats crazy i never knew we had tanks (coming from a canadian)

[@TropicanaOJ]

whatever happend to the M1 Abrams?

[@ragequitify]

@takko091 Yeah so? The A6 is still a top class tank

[@billaa100]

@ludabaer I thought Canada was the beer drinkers?

[@Makrokosmos]

Ah. please don't do these blanket statements ^^ We had out fair share of DUDs here, and the Soviet union Did roll out the best tank of WW2 and continued to make more excellent designs - there is a reason why the worls is filled with t55's, t72's and all the evolutions of these tanks. That said: The Leopard2 is our crown jewel :) And it is awesome.

[@ragequitify]

@halflife103 Srry but the old poor equipment is wrong. This video is a good example of high tech equipment

[@47LN81]

@Mitouboxer117 why Yank tech???,the German platform is used on the Abrams...they have always been number 1 in tanks.

[@ubisuck]

Why do they still have those german cross on the side and not our insigna?

[@Echo4Sierra4160]

@TheAceofOcea Wait, so it's the same except for the weapons, shape, and equipment? :P

Münster actually is a university city. Munster on the other hand is home of one of the largest garrisons of the Bundeswehr. The ü/u makes the difference.

[@survivor686]

Ok which version is the Canadian Forces using? The 2a6 or the 2a4?

Laughs in Challenger 2 which is covered in Burlington LV2 armour, even the M1A1 doesn't have the level of protection..

[@Markus44Mueller]

@nextMichealLebron23 Er spricht von MUNSTER, Standort der Panzertruppenschule, wo wir die Jungs ausbilden / ausgebildet haben für den "scharfen Einsatz"... aber ich freu´ mich trotzdem über solche Nachrichten. :-)

[@ragequitify]

so I've heard that the 20 leopard 2a6m tanks that were borrowed from Germany will be kept by Canada even after leaving Afghanistan but how come I haven't seen any on Canadian soil? I've only seen the new leopard 2a4m and 2a4.

[@davidfurfaro]

The A6s arrived summer of 2014 in Edmonton. Can't speak for the other bases.

[@Battery9876]

How do the anti-tank rounds compare to the M829A3? And can the gun launch precision guided rounds?

[@Tankliker]

The L/55 performance way better then the shorter L/44 in terms of long range precision of any ammunition. It if comes to ammunition then all NATO rounds should have around 15% increased penetration if shot from the L/55 compared to the L/44. Only downside (?) ammunition that was developed for the L/55 can't be shot from the L/44 because the propellant charge is way strong and so on could blow up the entire breach plus crew behind if used in a L/44.

[@ragequitify]

@Dreadnaught396 Let me know how it goes because I am think between armoured soldier or infantry soldier

[@mikebreaux2491]

Lol that LT in the very beginning is so damn funny! Typical LT's always saying "UHM"

[@agt155]

It is based upon the L44 Rheinmettal so they can share the same ammo, but the M256 is a big improvement.

[@Gerald10284]

Awesome Keep our boys safe.

[@dasmaurerle4347]

Canada, I apologize for the shit you had to go through because of us...twice... i'm glad we're friends today. The fact that you rather buy our tanks is adorable, merci very much!😘

[@mariannepompa4152]

leopard motor can drive with everything. Old motor oil or airplane gasoline ... very important in a war Target system very well ...

well you need a team of engineers to convert the damm engine but other then that. yeah pretty good

@F1zzzy90 well you will be happy that its is a combined french english where if they talk french english subtitles and vice versa

[@Sicklehead88]

@gajustempus hm...but they use (sometimes) heckler & koch guns and the abrams' L44 gun is also produced in germany.....strange. what is the reason that the constitution doesn't allow that?

When a sergeant tells you to find a Leopard or LAV BFA, get scared.

[@buehlerama]

@1988scottcarey appreciated!

[@ChaoticCobra]

I read a couple of months ago that the Germans will travel and upgrade the optics system on the Canadian Leopard 2 tank. Do us a favour Germany and give our army the Leopard 2 Next Generation Tank.

[@Tankliker]

Na, the A6 is based on A5 and the Leo. 2 Revolution/Evolution is based on the A4, which has a bit worse armoure and the aiming devices are beside the and not on top like on the Leo. 2A6/A6/Later So the best idea would be to take the Revolution/Evolution composite armoure and make it even better by covering the whole left cheek.

[@raviolikan]

@Mitouboxer117 You may of heard of him...WINSTON CHURCHILL!! He was in the British Office during WW2. Lol

Hey can anyone tell me why the canadians call germany "monster"-germany? i heard it almost some times but i cant figure out why germany is called monstergermany! why do they say just "monster"???

where is teh umbrella?

was the french part really nescessary

The Abrams uses an American made L44 120mm gun. The Leo uses a Rheinmetall L55.
