Meng is to launch an AGDUS Training System for the Leopard 2A4.
For the military, training is an important factor in determining combat strength. When there is no war, military exercises are a mean of verifying the effectiveness of training, and it should be as real as possible.

The AGDUS simulated combat support system for the Leopard 2A4 is a detection system used by the German Army in simulated warfare. Imitates the shooting through a laser beam, which is detected on the other side, creating a real atmosphere like live ammunition.

SPS - 042 Leopard 2A4 AGDUS simulated combat support system kit from Meng is made of resin and includes a laser engagement device, a laser detection device around the vehicle and a control unit above the turret.

Obscure, but glad to see it for NATO modelers.

I guess this can be used with other Bundeswehr contemporary vehicles.

Resin? No thanks.

Looks similar enough to the Saab Training Systems BT46 as used by many countries.

An interesting accessory if anyone else recognizes it. Did the Bundeswehr use it on later Leos as well?

Later Leos and earlier and anything else on exercise.

I'd love to see a US MILES set like this.
