Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank - The Leopard 1 family of AFVs 1956 to 2011
The Leopard 1 family became the first fully-German developed series of armoured combat vehicles to be built since the end of the Second World War. Using the German-built version of the British L7 105mm gun the Leopard focused on firepower and with its impressive cross-country performance it was unmatched by most other tank designs of the era.
