History
From 1983 to 1985, 162 Kanonenjagdpanzers were converted to Raketenjagdpanzer 4 Jaguar 2. This was done by removing the main gun, and adding a TOW launcher on the roof and applique armour as well. In 1989 the TOW missiles were replaced by the more potent TOW 2. In 1993 the Jaguar 2 tank destroyers were phased out in favour for the Jaguar 1A3, an upgraded version of the Jaguar 1.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
