Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf J (VK 1601).
In the continuation of the development further variants - Ausf J (VK 1601) and Ausf H (VK 903) were produced. In 1943, seven VK 1601 (Ausf J) were issued to 12th Panzer Division, which was fighting on the Eastern Front. In 1944, one of them was converted into a recovery vehicle - Bergepanzer II Ausf J. Later on in 1944/45, the same vehicle served with Panzer Werkstatt Kompanie (Tank Repair Company) of 116th Panzer Division. All of those designs finally led to the development of VK 1303 - Panzerspahwagen II Ausf L Luchs. In 1942, Skoda built a prototype of T-15 (Panzerspahwagen II Ausf Skoda) in competition with VK 1303, but its design was rejected. There was also
VK 1602 Leopard (based on VK 1601 - Ausf J), which was designed to eventually replace Luchs.
Leopard was reconnaissance tank designed to operate under heavy combat conditions but it design was rejected.
