Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) has received a contract to modernise 101 German Leopard 2 A6 main battle tanks, the company announced on 5 April.

The contract, awarded by the German Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, is worth more than €300 million.

Under the contract, KMW will upgrade the vehicle’s operating concept, targeting system and fire control computer as well as the chassis to the Leopard 2 A7V configuration.

All vehicles will be re-delivered by 2026.

That's an awful long time to deliver a relatively small number of vehicles...
