The Leopard 2PL is a main battle tank used by the Polish Armed Forces, and is a modernized '
version of the older Leopard 2A4 tank, phased out by Germany and first acquired by Poland in the 2000s.
The modernisation is currently being carried out in cooperation with Rheinmetall and the Polish Armaments
Group (pol. Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa PGZ)

Leopard 2PL is a third generation Main Battle Tank, made in cooperation with Polish Armaments Group and Rheinmetall Landsysteme.
The tank is designed to master and maintain the area, and support fire from deck weapons of mechanized and motorized subunits,
'in all weather conditions, both during the day and at night.[15]
As a result of the work, two versions of the vehicles were developed: the Leopard 2PL version, which is currently supplied to t
he military, and the Leopard 2PLM1, which was created by decision in 2018. The German partner is responsible for the production
of the prototype varriant of the Leopard 2PLM1. The vehicle was delivered in January 2021, and its tests began in February 2021.
The differences in the field of tanks in the Leopard 2PL and Leopard 2PM1 versions are that the machines in the 2PLM1 version are
equipped with an EGPT compartment warning system, a system protecting the network electronics against the start-up time, modification
operating modes of the laser rangefinder, an additional socket for batteries and the PIX combination, allows the commander to
automatically rotate the optoelectronic head of the PERI observation and aiming device to the "six o'clock" and "twelve o'clock"
position relative to the tank's hull.

When the Land Forces took over the first Leopard 2A4 tanks from the Bundeswehr's resources in 2002, it was realized
that their modernization was a necessity, but the first works on the development of the plan and the scope of their modernization
started only in mid-2012. then developed the initial requirements for the modernization of Leopard tanks. The program was called
Leopard 2PL. As a result of the conducted works, two variants of modernization were defined. The first one, basic, included the
introduction of an electric turret drive and gun stabilization (in place of hydraulic one), installation of the APU, modernization
of the optoelectronic system through e.g. installation of new thermal Imaging cameras, modernization of the driver's seat and a new
anti-explosion, fire and mine protection package.[2] The second, more extended variant, in addition to the works proposed in the first
modernization version, was extended to include the BMS combat management system, installation of a remote-controlled shooting module
on the turret of the tank, new types of ammunition, air conditioning systems in the driver and combat compartment, and modernization
of the electronics cooling system.
