Life of a Cdn Leo Driver
« on: October 05, 2015, 12:59:14 AM »
A video my buddy took of me driving the Leopard 2 from a range. Also one of Cpl. Gunslinger from our recent parade wearing the "bulletproof" beret. Warning, video is loud!

Thanks for posting the video. Great to get a real perspective of what it's like.

Good to put a face to the voice :)

That is a thermal imager for the driver. Leopard 2s have a thermal camera on the front and back of the tank for night driving. Each camera can also look left and right. Also, it's not lit up because the turret was off, but down by my right leg is a clock dial that tells me which way the gun is facing.

Its also worth mentioning that with that steering bow you have to change the camera by using buttons on the screen, but on the others, there are three switches on the steering bow to change which camera and which way it is facing.

Photo from two years ago when I went through what appeared to be a "small" berm of snow during my driver tasking. The crew had to dig my hatch out with shovels
