Estimated levels of protection for the Leopard 2 range from 920 – 940 RHAe on the turret, 620 RHAe on the glacis and lower front hull on the Leopard 2A6 against kinetic projectiles.

The mine-protected Leopard 2A6M (M stands for mine protection) also adds an additional mine protection plate for the belly, which increases protection against mines and improvised explosive devices.

Canadian Leoaprd 2A6M hit by IED:

On 02 August 2007, a Canadian Leopard 2A 6M has been involved in a serious IED incident. The crew stumbled upon an (improvised explosive device) and made history as the first to test the (Leopard 2A6)M-packet. It worked as it should, the crew survived without serious injuries. The Canadian officer in Afghanistan sent a personal thank you to the German government after he and his crew survived the powerful Taliban roadside bomb blast.

Video description:

I made my own documentary video about the Leopard 1 & 2 main battle tanks which is at the same time a tribute video for this legendary tank. Like the leopard 1 was once seen as the best tank in the world, so does the Leopard 2 today. Many important information is included to show why many professional WW2 experts agree with the fact that the Leoaprd 2 is the most advanced MBT available.

Also I have added some additinal subtitles about furtehr informational purpose that I found on many sources.

The first prototypes of the new Leopard-Generation began in the early 60′s with the MBT-70 (a project between Germany and the USA) however this project was later canceled and the MBT-70 funding was redirected to create the more successful M1 Abrams for the U.S. Army and Leopard 2 for the Bundeswehr.

At the time the leopard 1A1 tank entered the Germany army, it was the World’s first “High-Tech” main battle tank, equipped with the newest computerized fire control and auto-aim system, as well as the new EMES 12A1 sighting system, leftover image-intensifier night sights, Collective protection with the now-famous added “skirts” along the sides to protect the upper tracks and many more modern devicis. At the time the Leopard 1 was developed it used the msot powerful tank gun in the world.

At the Military demonstration on June, 1965 , the Leopard 1 was notable superior and outstanding compared to all other tanks at the time.
