Can someone provide me with some facts on the Leo 1A6 program. I know that it entailed fitting a 120mm gun and somekind of armour upgrade but what else?

Had it entered service, its most likely the RAF and RN would...
Following on from UK75's Post on a VTOL Lutwaffe 1975 i was wondering if anybody had the dimensions for the VJ-101 D ?. I can find stuff on-line for the B, C and E but not for the D >:(
(I wasn't sure if this should be included under the Horizon thread, as there were at least 8 projects between Type 42 and Type 45 in the UK alone, let alone any other nations, and Horizon was just one of those)
