# Leopard 2K (T11)

Role
: Main Battle Tank

## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/leopard-2k-t11.md#general-information)

Description
: The **Leopard 2K (T11)** is a Main Battle Tank and the prototype or pre-series variant of what became the **Leopard 2** family, developed in West Germany in the 1970s. The 2K featured the new **120mm Rh120 L/44** smoothbore and a commander’s **20mm Rh202** autocannon for anti-aircraft and light vehicle engagement, a combination later dropped on production 2A-series tanks. Crewed by four on a tracked chassis weighing 55.4 tonnes, it is powered by an **MTU MB 873 Ka-501** diesel producing 1,500 horsepower for 27.1 hp/t and 72 km/h. The main gun is stabilized and has a laser rangefinder, fire control system with lead, and 8x–16x optical zoom (no thermals). A coaxial **7.62mm MG3** and a loader **7.62mm MG3** round out the armament. Smoke grenades are fitted; the 2K represents the high-mobility, firepower-focused philosophy that led to the production Leopard 2A0 and beyond.
