In addition, Rheinmetall will be supplying the new L55A1 gun for the 68 Leopard 2A4 MBTs to be modernized.

All 104 Leopard 2A7V tanks will be capable of using Rheinmetall's new programmable DM11 multipurpose round.

The order underscores once again Rheinmetall's leading role in tank main armament design and electronic components for modern fighting vehicles.
