During Operation Euphrates Shield in 2016, Turkish Army Leopard 2A4 tanks were deployed along the Syrian border and into northern Syria, especially around Al-Bab. They provided heavy firepower against ISIS positions but faced intense urban combat. Several tanks were destroyed by anti-tank guided missiles, exposing vulnerabilities in side and rear armor. The losses highlighted the risks of using conventional main battle tanks in dense, asymmetric warfare without sufficient infantry support or upgraded protection systems, prompting Turkey to improve tactics and pursue modernization programs.
