The Leopard 1 is Germany’s main battle tank. They began developing it after World War II in cooperation with France, but then the cooperation was terminated. Leopard 1 is in service with 12 countries. Thanks to a modernization program, it is still in use today. By the way, by 1984, about 4744 Leopard 1 units were produced. The tank participated in the Bosnian War and the War in Afghanistan.
