Germany’s Leopard 2 Tank Was Top Notch Until It Hit the Battlefield in Syria Its reputation for nigh-invincibility has faced setbacks on Syrian battlefields and placed Berlin in a uniquely awkward national-level dispute with Turkey, its fellow NATO member. Here s What You Need to Remember: In the early 2000s, under a more favorable political climate, Berlin sold 354 of its retired Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ankara. These represented a major upgrade over the less well-protected M60 Patton tanks that make up the bulk of Turkey’s armored forces. Germany’s Leopard 2 main battle tank has a reputation as one of the finest in the world, competing for that distinction with proven designs such as the American M1 Abrams and the British Challenger 2. However, that reputation for nigh-invincibility has faced setbacks on Syrian battlefields and placed Berlin in a uniquely awkward national-level dispute with Turkey, its fellow NATO member.
