This variant of the Leopard 2 series is very often ignored. Thanks for adding it!
By the way, this tank is from the 6th Company of the Armoured Infantry Brigade "Guadarrama XII", I know because of the double red ring painted at the end of the gun (different colours identify each regiment and the number of rings the battalion).
well, i guess this variant is posted the most around here. yet it's still a beauty as i love the "pure" spanish colour/camo pattern.
Beauty.
