️🇩🇪 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Recently, German Leopard tanks have ceased to be observed at the front. This fact has given rise to various versions due to which this could happen, ranging from quite logical ones to something from the field of conspiracy theories. Now the German “Leopards“ really practically do not use in attacks, occasionally using them to strike at Russian strongholds from closed firing positions. First of all, this is due to the fact that the AFU are holding them for the second phase of the offensive. Now the tactics of the “meat“ assault of the AFU are trying to break through the first line of defense of the Russian Armed Forces, which can be seen in the example of the events in the Orikhiv sector. Such a scrupulous attitude to armored vehicles is associated, rather, not with image costs as a result of an unsuccessful assault in early June, but with a limited number of Leopards. In the current conditions, using them as Soviet tanks is an unaffordable luxury. The deliveries of armored vehicles previously promised in the West have so far come only partially. The timing of the arrival of the remaining parties is not entirely clear, and these vehicles will still need to be put in order before being put into battle. Partly for this reason, the urgent preparation of the first generation Leopards for shipment to Ukraine began. Compared to Leopard 2, they are not so pitiful, although other problems arise with them, such as the lack of instructors to train Ukrainian crews. However, at least they can be used as “mobile artillery“, so even in this form they pose a certain threat to the Russian troops. #Russia Ukraine Support us Original msg Источник: Rybar in English
