Historical Background:

Introduced in the early 1970s, the Jaguar 2 served as West Germany’s premier tank-hunter during the latter Cold War era. Built on the reliable Leopard 1 platform, it featured launcher pods for HOT missiles and upgraded armour protection. The vehicle served until the mid‑1990s, when it was replaced by the more advanced Jaguar 1A3 and other systems. During its service, the Jaguar 2 saw deployment with mechanised infantry and armoured cavalry units, providing mobile anti-tank support in Central Europe.
