| Designed to recover main battle tanks, it can also carry out a wide range of maintenance tasks and support operations thanks to its winch and bulldozer blade. Fully integrated into the Leopard 2 supply chain, future-proof engineering and excellent growth potential characterize this cutting-edge vehicle. Deployed in operations worldwide, the ARV 3 Büffel (‘buffalo’) is built on the same chassis as the Leopard 2 MBT, meaning that it delivers the same superb mobility and engine output. As a result, there is no need for the kind of complex, risk-fraught modification of the powerpack that would be necessary if the Bergepanzer 2 ARV were used to support the Leopard 2 fleet. |
