Historical overview and unique features of Leopard 2A4M CAN

The Leopard 2A4M CAN is a Canadian version of the Leopard 2A4 tank, adapted specifically for asymmetric conflict scenarios. The Canadian armed forces acquired these tanks from Germany and then subjected them to extensive modifications to improve mine and ballistic protection. The 2A4M CAN features modern composite armor, additional anti-HEAT screens, and a unique set of electronic equipment—these elements are faithfully represented in the Hobby Boss kit, allowing for an accurate presentation of a vehicle used in the demanding conditions of Afghanistan, where Canadians have effectively supported ISAF missions since 2007.
