The Leopard 2A6 has a hunter-killer capability. Many other contemporary tanks lack this capability.
Secondary armament consists of two 7.62-mm machine guns. One of them is coaxially mounted with the main gun, while the other one is positioned on top of the roof.
Vehicle has a crew of four, including commander, gunner, loader and driver.
The Leopard 2A 6 retains the engine of its predecessor. This combat vehicle is powered by an MTU MB-837 Ka501 turbocharged diesel, developing 1 500 horsepower. Cross-country performance is similar to that of the 2A5. Vehicle is fitted with an auxiliary power unit, which powers all systems, when the main engine is turned off. The Leopard 2A6 can be fitted with a deep wading kit.

The Italian C1 Ariete Main Battle Tank is one of, if not the least well known NATO member MBT’s, a title it far from deserves considering the fact it was deployed in Iraq in 2004. The Ariete was developed as a replacement of the Italian Armies old Leopard 1 & M60 fleet and to equip it with a single tank to reduce operational costs. In 1984 the two Italian companies IVECO FIAT & Oto Melara, formed a new company called IVECO FIAT Oto Melara Syndicated Company too develop a range of new vehicles including a new MBT, the Ariete. Deliveries to the army started in 1995 and by August 2002 the final of the 200 ordered tanks had been delivered at a rough cost of $4850000 per tank.
