If the tank succeeds, then victory follows."
Major-General Heinz Guderian, "Achtung Panzer!" The Leopard 2A6EX tank was an export model of the German Armies Leopard 2A6 Tank, but included a number of improvements developed in the KWS II project, that were not added to the German Army Leopard 2A5 Tank. The first prototype was seen in 2000 and continued to be marketed up to and maybe sometime after 2005.
The Leopard 2A6EX prototype was used by KMW to demonstrate the available technologies for the Leopard 2 Tank to potential export clients and has been built under licence (with local user modifications) in Spain as the Leopard 2E and Greece as the Leopard 2A6 HEL.
The Leopard 2A6EX has the same MEXAS armor system from the Leopard 2A5, but has an additional armor module over the hulls upper glacis and protrudes partially down the lower plate. This has resulted in the headlights being moved and replaced with rectangular ones.
It also has a new armor module over the turret roof protecting the fighting compartment from top attack. Built into the module are reinforced crew hatches, which slide shut via a powered mechanism. The number of existing spall lines from the Leopard 2A5 has been increased and added to the Drivers compartment.
The Leopard 2A6EX came with an Air-Conditioning system, with the main cooling unit added to the rear of the turret resulting in a modified shape from that of the German Armies Leopard 2A6. The Fire Control System remained the same as that of the German Armies Leopard 2A6, but varying radio systems, GPS and BattleField Management Systems could be installed as per the clients request.
