The VK 16.02 "Little leopard" was a reconnaissance vehicle proposed in late 1943, but it was seriously short of firepower. In early 1944, the Soviet T-34-85 tank was born. The 50 mm gun was no longer able to cope with Soviet tanks in 1944. A few months after the scheme was abolished, panther was born.
