The Leopard military tank is manufactured in Germany but what most people don't know is that its armor is made in Greece. Specifically from the Greek company EODH, which is based in Thessaloniki and has been involved in the development of the safety of the tank in question for more than 20 years. We visit a military installation to see the Leopard 2A4 up close and talk to the CEO of the Greek company Andreas Mitsis. As you will see in our video, he answers questions about something that for most people seems unbelievable that it can be done in our country. Note that Greece has a total of 353 Leopards in its quiver, of which 183 belong to the Leopard 2 A4 and 170 to the advanced 2 HEL. The weight of 2 A4, for example, exceeds 55 tons. Nevertheless, it has the ability to move quickly not just on the road or on the dirt, but on obstacles such as water, ditches, etc. Technical characteristics: Length: 9.67 meters Width: 3.7 meters Height: 2.79 meters Weight: 55.1 tons Engine power: 1,500 hp PERFORMANCE Maximum speed: 68 km Range: 220 – 340 km Climbing ability: 60 % Water obstacle: 1.2 meters (depending on equipment and larger) Vertical obstacle: 1.1 meters Trench: 3 meters ARMAMENT Gun: 120 mm A/A machine gun: 7.62 mm Conjugate machine gun: 7.62 mm Smoke grenade launchers: 16 Crew: 4 people ------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------- More material and backstage on Social Media: Instagram ▶ / vasilis_saribalidis Facebook ▶ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
