Leopard 2A7+ for Saudi Arabia

. .
Good stuff , i will be happy if we could use these tanks if we get invaded again.

Excuse me? Since when did you start using Saudi tanks? In all our wars, how many times has Saudi Arabia and UAE forces lent their chief assets to you? Listen, you need to come out of this alliance dream. In a war, there are going to be only two people who are facing: you and whoever is your enemy. Just like now. You call China this and that. How much is the PLA bleeding for you? Or for that matter US bleeding for you? No one. In the midst of a war, it is only you and what you have that will come to use. Cold war era was different because there were suppliers who would get the benefit of testing those days' weapons that evolved into the flashy upgrades. In those days it was Communism vs Capitalism. What benefit would Saudis get in terms of material or strategic advantage? They are neither developers of these tanks nor are they going to get any strategic gain against us.

Please mate, come out of your thinking that everyone will come to aid you against a sure shot enemy i.e. us. We are not going to be invading you. We don't want to slow our economic growth.

Germany always made the best tanks.

They invented Blitzkrieg after all :D

I really really hope there is some ToT in this deal. All our deals recently had ToT in them so it will save us a lot of trouble for when one day we develop our own tank.
 
.
what is the differences between the models? like for example the difference between leopard 2a4 and 2a7?

The leopard2A7 uses the Much more powerfull L/55 120mm Barrel while Leopard2A4 uses the smaller L/44 barrel.
And of course there is no doubt the Leopard2A7 is much more advanced then Leopard2A4.
The Leopard2A7 also have an Second Vision camera above its turret while the Leopard2A4 only have the one of the Driver.

Al Khalid is great tank and Pakistan should develop it into a tank which friends envy and enemies fear.

If Al Khalid develops to the next gen version the first customer will definitely be the Sauds

Gotta love the Leopard . It's one of the best if not the best tank ever .

However, I feel a bit let down as all of our major military deals include a technology transfer part amounting to at least 30 % of the total value . So why not this one ?


The “Leopard 2A7” was specially selected by KSA for in the future directly interact with the technological industrial defense of his ally Turkey. From whom (Turkey), KSA will be customer of “Altay Tank” and subsequently just after industrial partner when will be fully completed.
