It has been stated that the Leopard 1A5 can be up gunned to a 120mm main gun. However in articles it has simply been stated no country has opted for this option. There are two Leopard 1 variants I know of which possessed a 120mm gun. There is the Leopard 1 A1A1 l/44
Which sports a thinner mantlet as to allow the mounting of the 120mm gun. Then there is the Leopard 1A6
This featuring a up armored turret with it's 120mm gun. By all accounts it sounds like the Leopard 1A5 120mm option is producible, but no examples exist. Would up gunning my Leopard 1A5 stockpiles with 120mm guns require an r&d? if so for how long? As it appears significant development if anything occured on 120mm Leopard 1s
