The most extensive upgrade of Tank 122 since the tanks were acquired in the early 2000s will soon begin. 44 tanks are to be renovated and modified and will then be designated Tank 123A.
On behalf of the Armed Forces, FMV has signed a contract with KMW worth approximately $320 million for the modernization of the tank fleet.
The upgrade includes, among other things, the replacement of basically all electronic components in the vehicle so that the system is in line with other modern Leopard 2s, a new L55 cannon with a greater possibility of programming ammunition, new night sights for the gunner and vehicle commander as well as a night driving camera for the driver and finally new tracks.
Deliveries of Tank 123A to the Armed Forces will take place starting in 2026.
