The German Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment (BAAINBw) has awarded a contract to defence manufacturer Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) to upgrade Leopard 2 main battle tanks (MBT). The contract was signed by both parties last month and involves the modernisation of a total of 101 German Leopard 2 A6 MBTs.

Under the contract, which is valued at more than €300m, the company will bring the Leopard 2 A6 variant up to the A7V standard.
