The Raketenjagdpanzer Jaguar 2 is a German tank destroyer equipped with anti-tank guided missiles. Between 1983 and 1985 162 Jaguar 2 have been built for the Bundeswehr out of obsolete Kanonenjagdpanzer by removing the 90mm gun and adding a manually reloaded launcher for TOW 1 missiles and more armour. Starting with 1989 the missiles have been replaced with TOW 2s.
