The Art of War

By Jessica Leigh Brown
In 2005 Turkey acquired 298 second-hand Leopard 2A4s from Germany, later those were called Leopard 2A4TRs. They have been modified with improved air filters, something very important for the dusty terrain generally faced in the Middle East.. Analysis have been able to verify the existence of 43 Leopard 2A4TRs deployed in Syria along two batches: The first comprised of 18 tanks that were seen on 8/12/2016 while the second batch included 25 tanks that were sent on 10/12/2016. This numbers suggest a deployed force equivalent to an armored brigade. According to what Christian Triebert published in Bellingcat, the markings on the Leopard 2s are those of the Turkish 2nd Armored Brigade from the First Army.
