That's a strange article, reports about a modified Leo1 but shows images of standard spec Leo1s.
Ukraine’s new ‘Frankenstein’ tank will put the fear of God into Putin
Since the first great tank battle at Cambrai on November 20, 1917, the great and the good have foretold the end of these armoured beasts. Yet over 100 years later, the metal box with tracks and a gun is still tearing up the battlefields of eastern Europe. The adaptability of the basic tank...www.yahoo.com
Maybe they don't even hesitate to throw into their articles the first photographs they come across.

Speaking of Leo1 mods, we don't hear much about the Flakpanzer Gepard any more.
Silence is sometimes best. If the public does not know how and where they are currently used then the enemy may not know either. Judging from the frequent ammo shipments they are still heavily used.

From what I have gathered, the Gepards have been deployed to urban areas to enhance defences.
Mention of them does pop up every onve in a while, here's one such article from last February:

I want to deploy one to the Mopac in Austin. Just one, with me driving ... or shooting, if'n I can find a good chauffeur.
I'd shoot my way to the median and then pull a Wittman on them.
Yes, Definitely based on the Leopard 2 chassis. It has only one barrel but can match the gepard in firepower.

Ah.... I must admit that while driving in Toronto the thought that "if only half these people died in their sleep last night, I'd get where I was going" has come to me. But to be fair, we have, IIRC the worst highway congestion in North America.

Our answer to highway congestion is to tear up the highway. Problem solved.

The U.S. is sending to Ukraine air defense missiles that were contracted for purchase by other countries, the White House announced on Thursday.
The decision comes as Ukraine has pleaded with its supporters to send at least seven Patriot missile systems to defend against Russian assaults that are pummeling the country and targeting energy infrastructure.
"The United States has made the difficult decision to reprioritize near-term planned deliveries of foreign military sales to other countries, of particularly Patriot and NASAMS missiles, to go to Ukraine instead," said John Kirby, the White House national security communications advisor.
"The United States has a robust foreign military sales program where our defense industrial base produces and then exports materials to other countries, including air defense missiles. We're going to reprioritize the deliveries of these exports so those missiles rolling off the production line will be provided to Ukraine."
Kirby said that air defense munitions for Taiwan and Israel, in particular, would not be impacted. He said the U.S. had communicated to affected countries with pending foreign military sales, but couldn't detail how long the delays would be, and didn't mention specific countries.
