The Pz68 Flakpanzer was a proposed variant of the Swiss Panzer 68 main battle tank, fitted with a Flakpanzer Gepard turret. The Flakpanzer Gepard was a German anti-aircraft tank that mounted two Oerlikon 35mm anti-aircraft guns on a Leopard 1 chassis. The idea was to use the Panzer 68 hull, which was widened by 180 millimetres (7 in), to accommodate the Gepard turret. Two tanks were modified and tested in 1979-1980, but the project was not placed into production. The Pz68 Flakpanzer was intended to provide air defence for Swiss armoured units, using radar and optical systems to track and engage aerial targets.
