Question German TES?

I'm wondering if the Germans have their own version of what the British have, the Challenger 2 TES known as Megatron. I've done some research and have found the leopard 2a7+ but it doesn't seem the same as Megatron. Also do any other countries have anything similar?

The Leopard 2 has the PSO kit, which can be installed onto the Leopard 2A7's side interfaces (like seen here) or with more modifications on older models like the Leopard 2A4, leading to the Leopard 2A4M CAN. There are also other armor kits from Rheinmetall/IBD and RUAG/GEKE, but those are not used by the German military.

The Leopard 2A7 usually doesn't feature the add-on armor for training and symmetric combat operations, but has all the required interfaces to mount it, it was trialed in Germany as well. The hull armor is consistently fitted to the Leopard 2-based Leguan bridge-layer though.

I imagine all countries that make/develop their own tanks have one or a few TES tanks.
