RC tank Leopard 2A6 – .STL files intended for 3D printing in 1:10 scale

Leopard 2A6 is recognized as one of the best and most powerful main battle tanks in the world. The combination of strong firepower, excellent crew protection, and superior mobility makes it a tank capable of dominating the modern battlefield. This tank blends cutting-edge technology with robust design, making it one of the most powerful tanks in active service today.

Leopard 2A6 is a modernized version of the German Leopard 2 main battle tank, developed as the successor to the legendary Leopard 1. The development of Leopard 2 began in the 1970s as a response to NATO’s need to counter modern Soviet armored threats during the Cold War. The first version of the tank entered service in 1979, and over time, Leopard 2 underwent numerous upgrades. The Leopard 2A6 version was introduced in 2001 and brought significant improvements in firepower and protection. Thanks to its reputation as one of the best tanks in the world, Leopard 2A6 has been exported to many countries, including Canada, the Netherlands, and Finland.

Leopard 2A6 is designed with a strong focus on crew protection, even in the most demanding combat conditions. Its armor combines multilayer composite materials, providing excellent protection against various threats, including kinetic energy and shaped charge warheads. Additional protection is offered by a modular armor system, which allows easy adjustments or replacement of damaged parts, greatly enhancing the crew’s survival and the tank’s resilience on the battlefield.

Crew protection is further enhanced by an upgraded internal system that shields the crew from secondary effects of penetrations, such as shrapnel or internal ammunition explosions. Leopard 2A6 is also equipped with sophisticated detection systems that alert the crew to threats in time, giving them time to react.

Leopard 2A6 is renowned for its firepower and accuracy. It is armed with the powerful 120mm Rheinmetall L55 smoothbore gun, which is longer than previous versions (L44), providing higher muzzle velocity and greater penetration capability, especially with APFSDS rounds. This gun can effectively destroy armored vehicles at long distances, and thanks to the modern fire control system, the crew has excellent targeting and engagement capabilities, even on the move or in challenging conditions.

Leopard 2A6 features advanced electronics and sensors, enabling the tank to operate in a wide range of combat situations. Night vision systems and thermal imaging sensors provide high combat efficiency both day and night. The automated fire control system monitors battlefield conditions and continuously adjusts firing parameters for maximum accuracy.

In terms of mobility, Leopard 2A6 is powered by a robust MTU MB 873 Ka-501 diesel engine, delivering 1,500 horsepower, allowing the tank to reach speeds of up to 72 km/h on the road and ensuring excellent maneuverability in various terrains. Despite its weight (around 62 tons), the tank maintains high agility and rapid movement capabilities, which are crucial for modern combat operations.
