Well the Leopard 1 is an older tank made back in 1965. The Canadian government however uses the Leopard 1 as a secondary weapon and as a reserve tank. It still is a powerful tank in city warfare, because the Leopard 1 main armament doesn't have the range of it's modern descendant, it still can give a powerful punch in the close range warfare. Here are the stats for the Leopard 1.

Now the Leopard 2 is a powerful MBT and has replaced the Leopard 1 in that role. It's gun is stronger so the range is farther. The Leopard 2 is faster and smaller than the more cumbersome Leopard 1. The Leopard 2 unlike some of it's counterparts, can survive an explosive device. There were a few incidents during the South Continental Wars where Leopard 2s would hit IEDs and instead of explode, the tanks would continue on. The crew were never hurt. Here are the stats of the Leopard 2.
