Leopard 2PL is a third generation main battle tank, made in cooperation with Polish Armaments Group and Rheinmetall Landsystems. The tank is designed to master and maintain the area, and support fire from deck weapons of mechanized and motorized subunits, in all weather conditions, both during the day and at night .
The 10TP was listed as the intended equipment for four tank battalions within new motorised units. Assembly of the first 10TP prototype began in 1937 at the Experimental Workshop (WD) of the State Engineering Plants (PZInż.) Factory in Ursus, near Warsaw. This factory served as the central production site for Polish tanks during 1931-1939.
The remaining tanks, that is the ones used for training as well as tanks that were finished after the outbreak of the war, were used in an improvised tank unit fighting in the defence of Warsaw. Although technically superior to any of the German light tanks of the era, the 7TP was too scarce to change the outcome of the war.
