kids.... The Leo2 was designed during the peak of the cold war... its major goal was to slow down huge enemy armored attacks and channel them into traps ... for that it needed to be very fast reverse... to stay ahead attacking forces and always keep its front facing the enemy... in German it is called Verzögerung (delay tactic) the most difficult tank maneuver that exist, plan is to make contact with the enemy and drag the enemy into the direction you want him... if everything worked lure him into a trap were for example infantry units could attack the weak flanks of the attacking tanks with hand held anti tank weapons, or with larger ATGM...or a other tank unit was waiting for a flank attack into the enemy side. All T-Series tanks are completely useless for such scenarios, with a max reverse speed of 4km/h they would be overrun by enemy or worse they need to turn around and show their weak rear if they needed more speed ,,, this is one of the things no technical datasheet tells you but that are the differents between a average tank and a good tank
Really ???? Have you not been paying attention to what is happening in Ukraine ??? These are the tactics the Ukrainians used (NATO) and failed miserably. Drones and artillery rule. Tanks have been reduced to what made the "Stug" famous ...... infantry support. Times have changed, my friend ....... and the Russians are leading the world in this new endeavor. They are cutting edge in aerial denial, counter battery fire and missiles. They also do something the "West" does not understand. They do not fight and waste resources on "real estate". The Russian tactics and strategy focus on the destruction of enemy forces, not land. Having said all that, this is a great video and the Big Cat is one of my favorite pieces of armor. It is deadly and absolutely beautiful to look at and watch in action. Thanks to the folks that posted it !!!!!!!! 🙂
I assume the Danish tank drivers are learning to use the rear view camera at different speeds and locations. The A7 got an optical upgrade also for the driver...or, any comments ?
Tak for de fine videoer. Ved du om A7'eren dækker Danmarks behov fuldstændig, eller om at A8'eren kunne være af interesse, og om mulige indkøb af disse overvejes?
@@tankchris Nå okay det er helt fint. Jeg prøver at google lidt og ser om jeg kan blive lidt klogere denne vej. Men endnu engang tak for de rigtige fine videoer. Jeg ville give min højre arm for at prøve en tur i en Leopard 2. Har kun været med ude i en pansret mandskabsvogn og en selvkørende haubits, tror nok det var en 109'er på testbanen i Skive. Ved godt at det er umuligt at prøve en tur i Leopard 2'eren men jeg har jo lov til at drømme. Endnu engang tak
Ein Stahlmonster ist dies Maschiene . Danke für das Video.Grüße von Ex Bundi 89-97 im PzGrenBtl32,Aber eigentlivch fahren die falsche Richtung , die Front ist vorne 🤣😂🤪
Die sind am Üben, damit der Panzer von der Besatzung in jeder Situation beherrscht wird und schlagkräftig einsetzbar ist. Hast Du in der Fahrschule auch nur bei der Prüfung rückwärts eingeparkt oder vorher geübt? Hier geht es im Ernstfall ums Übereben, dann muss man das können oder wird nie wieder etwas können.
Practice. Being proficient in reverse maneuvering is crucial. Anyone can drive forward, but when you need to get out of a dangerous situation in front of you, reverse is the only viable option.
@@Ganiscol Do you know if the driver can see backwards in the A7? The periscopes are only at the front, so driving backwards, the driver doesn't see anything (unless there is a camera in the back nowadays).
@@PA3GUQ since the A5 they have a cam ... till the A4 the TC had to guide the driver ... feels wired if you drive 30km/h reverse and you just follow order links or rechts anziehen ...totaly trust your TC or the TC need to totaly trust the driver
truly magnificent machines
Important exercise! This needs to be in your muscle memory when in battle. Can be challenging!
Reverse driving to keep the frontal armor facing the threat. High skill.
"If you want to know why they drive backwards? Ask a russian tankcrew in heaven." 🤣
Also ask the smelting Leopard 2 that got hit.
Thanks for sharing Christian

Thank you 😊🙏🏻
Sygt når den bakke så hurtigt , elsker de tyskere!
Come on, all this high speed reversing is just shoving into the Russians tankie face
😂😂
Отступать надо тоже тренироваться!

Да, есть английская поговорка. Тренируйся усердно, сражайся легко.

T-class is watching jealously the movingspeed... backward :p

German weapons are amazing
😂😂😂hiw many they had and how many can produce??
Hungary order 44 of this Leopard in 2018 and just received 3 after 5 years 😂😂
Das neuen legendę wie panther und tiger panzer
why almost constantly driving backwards? 3:15...I think that tank should check tracktension or bearings?

🧐70 km/h 👍🏾
85 crossland 😊
Ungefähr des geilste was es gibt 😉
BRAKA MONOGA! DOITSU NO KAGAKU WA SEKAI ICHI!!!
Diese Panzer fahren ja nur rückwärts! Vorwärts Kameraden, es geht zurück ... 😂
So die Absicht!
most important skill and most difficult to perform... delay tactic... lure the enemy into a trap
👍🏾
I'm gonna try this tactic on war thunder on leopard 2A7
👍👍👍
tenet starring dannish army
Lmao 😂 fucksakes, you got me dying over here
Is this reversed footage?
no, reverse driving to keep the frontal armor facing the threat.
GO
Warum fahren die immer rückwärts
Sie üben Rückwärtsfahrt.
Ich liebe panzer. Geil.
this is just rewind!!!!
Withdrawal exercise? could be the wrong signal😉😁
The best tank in the world. They can go forward too!
There is not a Cat made that isn't beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
