Previous years Turkey was started the Leopard-2A4 modernization program. A number of security and defense industry researches underlined the deficiencies of the tanks used by Turkish Armed Forces during the operation "Euphrates Shield" and called attention to this matter.
In March 2019, there were various photos of Leopard 2, equipped with ERA panels and tested, on social media.

This year Roketsan was published an project of an armor placement suitable for the hull of the Leopard 2 (flat turret design version up to A4) among the pictures for the company’s armor solutions. The tank in the image contains armor plates and Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA).

Regarded as an example of the modernization package, it depicts the placement of the Roketsan kits. In the image where only Roketsan products are shown, Aselsan’s systems such as TLUS, ADİS, SARP, YAMGÖZ are not included, whereas SARP UKSS is placed on the plate. It is considered that the armor placement in the image is not the final armor placement, as it is demonstrated in the catalog.

- Laser Warning System
- SARP UKSS
- Close Range Survellance System (YAMGÖZ)
- ASELSAN’s Driver’s Vision System (ADİS)
- Protective Coating
