The Leopard 1A5 entered service during the Cold War, playing a key role in the armored units of the Bundeswehr and other NATO armies (Denmark, Canada, Greece, Norway, Turkey). These tanks can still be seen today in museums and military collections, having also participated locally in various conflicts at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century.
