Rheinmetall's CEO Armin Papperger said that a new factory could be built in the country (with Rheinmetall estimating the cost of constructing a Ukrainian plant to be around âŹ200 million) and the first delivery could be in 15 to 18 months, producing annually up to 400 Panther tanks. The plant would also need to be protected against air attacks from the ongoing

In June 2024, Rheinmetall presented the KF51-U at the
Eurosatory defence fair. This is a Panther with an unmanned turret. The only three operators required for this tank sit in the hull just in front of the turret. The ammunition for the main weapon is fed via the autoloader from two magazines in the

The KF51 is based on the hull of the
Leopard 2A4 and thus has a conventional MBT layout, with the driver at the front, the turret in the middle and the engine at the rear. The driver is seated in the front right of the hull and is provided with a single-piece hatch above their position in the roof of

Rheinmetall began the development of major subsystems for the

The
Panther has a combat weight of 59 tonnes, making it lighter than most Western MBTs developed prior to 2022. The engine, tracks and most of the running gear of the vehicle are also believed to have been derived from those of the Leopard 2A4. The Leopard 2A4's motor is an

Where the design of the KF51 departs from that of the preceding generation of
Western MBTs is by the introduction of a new two-person turret fitted with an autoloaded main gun. The rear of the turret houses the magazines for the main gun's automatic loader and pods for

The KF51 is fitted with an 82-link

Further developments under consideration for the vehicle include measures to make it more environmentally friendly during peacetime operations; the installation of a more powerful and more efficient engine; the integration of
