Tank protection was developed not to make the tank as invincible or unstoppable but it was developed with main focus that is to maximize the crew survivability not the tank.
Efforts are made for the survivability of the tank against ATGM with project such as Rafael Trophy Active system etc. So its different thing.
In the case of Leo 2A4 performance in Syrian war so far i didnt see any flying turrets and most of the tank still intact, in fact the photo showing some ISIS captured Turkish Leo is not really true. The tank has been disabled by ATGM/IED and the crew evacuate the tank.

Lol the soviets (that include ukrainians) did not care much about human loss. Flying turrets proves that they didnt even bother designing separated and appropriately enclosed ammo racks to prevent cook off from reaching crew compartment and completely blasting the turret.

Fighting back: How Indonesia's elite police turned the tide on militants
By Tom Allard and Kanupriya Kapoor | JAKARTA
As the world battles a spike in assaults and plots by Islamist militants, Indonesia's anti-terrorism unit is drawing praise for stemming a wave of bloody attacks in the sprawling Muslim-majority nation.
Indonesia has foiled at least 14 attacks this year alone and made more than 150 arrests, disrupting plots ranging from suicide attacks in Jakarta to a rocket attack from Indonesia's Batam island targeting Singapore.
Going back to 2010, a Reuters analysis of data shows the elite unit, Special Detachment 88 (Densus 88), has prevented at last 54 plots or attacks in the nation of 250 million people, the world's fourth largest.
"Densus 88 has become better than pretty well any other counter-terrorism group in the world," said Greg Barton, a terrorism expert and research professor in Global Islamic Politics at Alfred Deakin Institute in Melbourne.
"They have had an incredible workload and they have become remarkably good at what they do."
In the last six years, there has been only one major attack in Indonesia that caused civilian deaths, when assailants hit a Jakarta mall and police post with gunfire and bombs, resulting in the deaths of three Indonesians and a dual Algerian-Canadian national. All four attackers were also killed in the January 2016 attack.
Between 2002 to 2009, there were nine major attacks by militants, leaving 295 dead and hundreds of others wounded.
Since its formation in 2002, the unit has put a premium on clandestine intelligence gathering. Now much of that intelligence work is done online, by infiltrating and monitoring chat rooms, social media and messaging apps popular with militants.
SELF-SUFFICIENT
Few details about Densus 88 are publicly available.
"We built our organization to learn from the enemy," said a senior counter-terrorism officer who provided some insight into the working of the unit but spoke on condition of anonymity.
Created in the aftermath of the deadly 2002 Bali bombings that killed more than 200 people, Densus 88 has about 400 to 500 members, state-of-the-art weaponry and training, said another official. It has received more than $200 million of funding from Western allies such as Australia and the United States.
The unit is headed by a task force, a core of 30 or so senior members, said the Indonesian law enforcement source.
"Many of them possess doctorates and have specialties like psychology and social behavior," the source added. "They are not like regular police."
The black clad, heavily armed members of Densus 88 sometimes seen during raids on suspected militant hideouts make up a small proportion of the unit, officials say.
Far more personnel are dedicated to gathering intelligence in the field and monitoring communications and online activity. There is also a large team of investigators analyzing that intelligence and forensically examining explosives and other evidence.
Sidney Jones, the director of Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC), said the key to Densus 88's success lies in its intelligence gathering.
"They know the radical networks and have a good set of informers," she said. "It is unparalleled in terms of its ability to understand the sources of possible threats."
STRATEGIC INTERROGATION
Densus 88 has long been accused by human rights groups of abuses, including beatings of alleged separatists and Islamist suspects.
Indonesia's National Human Rights Commission has identified 121 terrorism suspects who have died in custody since 2007 but the police routinely deny using torture or inappropriate force in interrogation.
Amnesty International said earlier this year there was an "endemic culture of impunity" in Indonesia's police service and a need for an investigation into the "torture" of suspects by Densus 88.
However, Barton said the unit has adopted a unique, "strategic" approach to interrogations that aids intelligence gathering.
Suspects were kept at police stations rather than in jails and allowed to meet their families.
"They sit down and listen to their story," Barton said. "They get them talking and that's an effective way of getting intelligence."
Despite Densus 88's recent successes, the worry is that the militant threat to Indonesia is mounting as Islamic State fighters return battle-hardened from Syria and Iraq. The ultra-radical group also commands support from some Indonesians who have stayed at home.
About 800 Indonesians have traveled to Syria to join Islamic State and 169 have been stopped en route and deported, according to Indonesia's national counter-terrorism agency.
In the past two months alone, there have been 38 arrests, and at least five attacks foiled, according to the Reuters study, which collated data with the assistance of IPAC staff.
These plots have been linked to Islamic State, with police alleging they were inspired, if not directed, by Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian militant who fled to Syria about two years ago.
"These new homegrown terrorists and the local jihadists have never gone abroad. But with the advent of the Internet age and technologies like social media, it's easier to make bombs and explosives to do operations," said the law enforcement source.
Authorities remain deeply worried about an attack during the holiday season.
In the longer term, the worry is the possible return of hardened Islamic State fighters like Naim to the region.
"They will be a different type of terrorist and the police are going to have a lot more problems," said Indonesian analyst Rakyan Adibrata.

The fact that both MBT battalions are attached to one Kostrad infantry division each; means that Leopard 2 will have enough infantry support, both from mechanized and motorized units.
A few things that we can learn are that there should be a screen of dismounted infantry in front of the tank. Tanks shouldn't be placed in in front line, except during rapid, blitzkrieg-style assault.

From Formil, some says that Indonesia will get six brand new from old stock of ex-Indian order AW-101 Mk 641 (3 VVIP and 3 Transport: ZR 339, ZR 342, ZR 343 (already with TNI AU livery) and ZR 346, ZR 348, ZR 349). Credit to Gokil-bear.

BTW in open pitched battle like Baghdad run, MBT still had their merit and virtue uncontested. And in urban warfare they still proving their value by attracting the most highest attention (and damage absorber) giving enough time for more lighter units to maneuver and made deception

ECA Group signs SAT for Sonar Laboratory Simulator
Successful signature of on Site Acceptance Test for ECA Group's Naval Training Simulation solution, the SonSim, a Sonar Laboratory Simulator (Sonar CBT) with an important Asian Customer.
Wednesday, December 21 2016 - TRAINING SIMULATION
In November 2016, ECA Group has successfully conducted the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) for the SonSim Sonar Laboratory delivered to the Navy of an emergent country in Asia region.
ECA Group SonSim Sonar laboratory is a PC based solution (CBT), for the training of sonar operators that allows to train the crews on ASW operations, through the principle of the internationally approved sonar theories.
The system has a classroom configuration, for frontal training using modern Computer Based software to give operators, the possibility to test the sonar theories with hands on the ECA Group virtualized sonar system.
The classroom is composed of:
Generic Sonar Simulator Classroom
Generic Sonar Simulator Classroom - Sonar consoles
ECA Group Sonar Simulation system (SonSim) is a powerful software engine, with the capability to create a virtual but extremely realistic underwater environment, with all hydrographic and climatic data, as well as, the possibility to change meteorological conditions to demonstrate the effects of various sound propagation profiles while performing submarine detection mission. The Sonar Simulation system (SonSim) is also equipped with several tools that enable the instructor to assess the on-going acoustic propagation and the ability of the trainees to exploit sensors capabilities.
The most appreciated feature of Eca Group Sonar Simulation System (SonSim) is the Data Base management station that enables sonar instructors to change sonar data-base parameters in order to set the own ship sensors and environment, creating the most realistic situation possible.
The good and strong relationship with the customer could allow further evolution and updates of this simulation system according to the needs of the Navy for the future naval programs.

Monday, July 25 2016 - DEFENCE & SECURITY
The presence of a delegation of Indonesian Navy has given to ECA Group the possibility to work closely with its customer representatives, who have tested ECA Group Sonar simulator System.
ECA Group meets all requirements of this important customer.
The sonar laboratory is a PC based solution for the training of sonar operators using ECA Group sonar simulation system.
ECA Group sonar simulator has already been validated in the past year by customer Navy operators, who have expressed their appreciation for the extreme reliability and realism of the solution. ECA Group sonar simulation system is based on the principle of the internationally approved sonar theories.
Sonar operators can be trained in underwater and surface vessel detection, classification and identification in a virtualized environment with the same characteristics of the real operational area. Using the virtual reality ECA Group recreates the underwater environment taking into account all environmental background noise, the bottom surface reverberation, the climatic and meteorological conditions and all the conditions that effect the sound propagation in a specific geographic area, chosen by the customer. Navy instructors, using the user-friendly interface of ECA Group instructor software can create realistic scenarios with increasing difficulties in order to train sonar operator from the basic to advanced level.
The specific sonar laboratory purchased by Indonesian Navy will be a computer based training system (CBT) with all functionalities needed for the submarine sonar operators to be skilled in their professional mission.
