The Raketenjagdpanzer 2 or Raketenjagdpanzer SS-11 was a German tank destroyer of the cold war era equipped with SS.11 guided anti tank missiles. It was developed at the same time as the Kanonenjagdpanzer and the Marder and shares a similar chassis with them.
Between 1967 and 1968 Henschel and Hanomag built 318 Raketenjagdpanzer 2 for the Bundeswehr. Starting around 1978 316 of them were upgraded with additional armour and a new missile system and redesignated as Raketenjagdpanzer Jaguar 1.
