Hello all,
After some long and aggravating research I found where it said that the Leopard 1A3 known as Leopard AS1 in Australia was their MBT during the 90-91 Gulf War. I know that they didn't use it in Iraq then but I was just hoping that some one could confirm this, and if this is wrong what tank did they use?

The Leopard AS1 is somewhat different to an off the shelf Leopard A3.
We didn't deploy armoured forces to Iraq in 90-91, we did deploy ASLAVs to later missions in Iraq. Our involvement with Gulf War I was mainly naval.
