I have heard that some Ukrainian Soldiers have refused to man the Leopard 2 Tank as it is the Primary target of the Russian Military and Generally one of the first items to be Attacked and Destroyed on the Battlefield.
In fairness - it is difficult to verify whether the Ukrainian tankers said this or not(or that was just propaganda war's rumors), but the fact is that quite many of Russian well-known public figures: musicians, artists, businessmen awarded a prize of 1 million rubles to the one who destroys Leo2.
There is a reward for the destruction of the Leopard . Who will sit in a tank that everyone will shoot at ? German tanks on Russian soil are hatred on a genetic level .
Politicians in the west have no clue about combined arms warfare or attrition. Do they expect 16 tanks to make a difference ? What's remarkable is the similarity between the last days of Hitlers regime in WW2 and the West in relying on wonder weapons? Did wonder weapons win the war fir the Soviets ? Didn't wonder weapons lose the war for Hitler. Amazing?
A tank is a capable as the crew manning it... A well trained leopard2 platoon is capable of destroying and surviving just about everything... Drills drills drills...
Well, they were invincible to infantry with rifles during WW2. But now with anti-tank weapons it's a different story. Yes, infantry of developed nations like Germany had anti-tank guns in WW2 as well.. But I'd imagine there were more outdated countries back then who couldn't defend against tanks.

Kresnopol is mainly ineffective because the Orlan-10 UAV is easily destroyed. This means forward observers have to lase the target and they are no more effective than ATGM opperators. Laser homing rounds are not very effective. The US found that out after 20 years of experience.
Also, it's a war dude. Things get destroyed in a war. The difference is that the equipment was built to save the crew, not like the Russian Jack-In-The-Box tanks where the turret goes into space with a large fireworks display. There have been more than 2000 russian tanks lost. How many survivors though? About none is the answer.

Notice how most if not all successful attacks are from airborne or air launched weapons. It's not a tank vs tank match up. Without corresponding air support and defense, as well as effective infantry support, the tanks are sitting ducks.

Leopard tanks looking like 🍿 on the battlefield alongside the Abrams tanks. This war is a strategic matter of low budget weapons destroying extremely high cost western equipment. It's like using a slingshot to bring down an American apache helicopter. Ridiculous.
In my opinion Tanks, Carriers and Jets are entering into obsolescence, near future missiles or drones of considerably cheaper value and smaller would efficiently destroy slow and very expensive vehicles.
Tanks like the Leopard or M1 Abrams were designed in the 1970s and 80s. A drone attack from above wasn't really envisioned at the time. Now the relatively thin top armor becomes a problem.
The main problem is the terrain conformation , plus poor experience , and then on the first line defence you have this square open fields filled with mines and scouted by drones that will send coordinates for the arty
This is why russians put the cope cages on their tanks that the west was mocking....now I see ukraine is starting to put theirs on too 😂 But they are primitive compared to the russian cope cages which are intelligently designed and employ the use of ERA, thus effectively defeating tandem charge warheads from top
The Abramsm tank has nothing to do in Ukraine. This is an expensive tank equipped with a gas turbine engine. Such an engine requires high quality fuel and good maintenance.
@@babuk-karpuk Если не ошибаюсь, Германия долго не соглашалась поставлять танки и согласилась на поставки и разрешила реэкспорт "Леопард" когда американцы пообещали отправить "Абрамс". По моему американцы в очередной раз обманули доверчивую Европу)))))
Yes, Leopard 2´s have been lost. That is true. And they will get destroyed. They are not invinceble. But never was a crew lost. They always made it out alive. Tanks can be replaced. The crew is much more valuable.
It looks to me like there's been a fundamental technological change since the end of the cold war/Gulf war. Antitank rockets (Kornet) and especially loitering munitions (Lancet) mean that even well-built tanks with the best defenses money can buy are vulnerable to relatively cheap weapons that the tank's crew will likely never even notice. If Russia had the ability to produce enough Lancets, they could send them out over the front lines and disable every Ukrainian vehicle. I don't know when the next war will happen, but I'm thinking it will look very different from what militaries have been planning for.
Weapons are very sophisticated these days thanks to GPS and A.I. Remember the Russians have a very robust space program; they launch thousands of satellites. Any military on earth can send "toy sized" drones with high def spy cameras at 50x zoom, in the air to hover within yards of a large price of artillery, troop formation, or barracks and then send that pinpoint location and cordinates back to a laser guided system. In the old days militaries had to use recon teams on the ground to track and to point lasers at targets. My point being, any man that signs up to fight a war with robots, GPS, drones, and laser guided systems, is just signing up for a suicide mission. And that includes U.S. army, Navy, and Marines as well. Join the Air Force and pray that they send you in stealth air craft!
Technology changed the landscape of warfare however the poor performance of MBTs in the russian-ukraine war is also attributed to poor battle tactics. Sending a tank formation without proper infantry, arty and air support is basically giving free kills to the enemy which is what ukraine has been constantly doing. A lot of military weapons are meant to be used as a joint battlegroup. There is no one weapon that is all purpose, anti-everything, solo powerhouse. That said technology is a gamechanger. I've been out of the military more than a decade ago and back then we didn't see quite a few of the new gadgets we have now. Nowadays the military has cybersecurity divisions and drone operators for infantry formations to name a few.

Guessing it takes more than two weeks to train on a tank. Being a former M60A3 tanker, it takes more than two weeks. It takes months. As for F16s, Im sure it takes a few months to train. Correctly
just basic Russian propaganda and ret@rds on youtube trying to spew a false narrative. Leopards are in reality making minced meat of Russians in Ukraine

anti tank guided missile systems with tandem warheads will take out any tank, that they hit, basically. a javelin will do the same thing. the kornet is less portable and not nearly as set it and forget it as the javelin. to quote putin "all tanks burn"
@@AethelwulfOfNordHymbraLand2333 the kornet is not fire and forget and target tracking in flight. it will eat a tank just the same. and its cheap af by comparison, yes. and less portable meaning its a 2 man crew min, vs one man for a javelin. kornet is based.
infantry are humans not steel.Russia knows her onions. I pity NATO when the real games begins.F22 and F35 will be falling out of the skies when Putin is ready.All so called game changers have failed woefully in Ukraine hence the fox USA has refused to bring that her shit Abrams to the battlefield for confirmation
No Koenigstiger was used in Kursk (they entered service later). Germans used around 200 Panthers and 90 Tigers. They proven much superior to Soviet tanks and a problem for soviet AT weapons... when they did not broke, which happened very often, so that most of them rarely saw action. On the contrary, in the present war Leopard 2s are realiable but vulnerable.
It seems to me that they always target the turret which is supposedly the most heavily armored and protected with reactive armor. Yet, if the tracks are hit, won't the tank be disabled and unable to continue the fight? However, having said that, the drones seem to be doing the job and in many cases the turrets are blown off the tank. If so, maybe the day of tanks is over, like the battleship. Maybe the day of drones is the current era of warfare. One kilogram, which is about 2 lbs, is all it takes for a Lancet drone of Russia to kill a Leopard tank. Supposedly the UK Challenger tank is in Ukraine and the Abrams are supposedly being rushed to Ukraine----with trained crews. The Challengers were supposed to use those depleted uranium rounds which were blown up at a depot by the Russians. Do they have alternate munitions? The Abrams are refurbs and not the latest 'gee whiz' from the US. With the history of the German Leopards, it would seem the Challengers and Abrams would fare no better. Is there something about the Challengers and Abrams that makes them better than the Leopards?
We don't know about the Challengers because the Limey's won't let the Ukes use them. Pity. There would be more video's coming like this one. Instead of western propaganda.
In all the videos, those tanks and ifvs are not moving, that means they already hit mines and immobile. The later attacks were to completely destroy the vehicle.
@@LNGD_46 that's not true. we see video of moving vehicle getting hit on the turret all the same, it just a question of hitting what is easy to hit, the track are a much smaller target to try and aim, and if you can punch the turret anyway, who care how much thicker it is?
What I understand is this: to win a no-nukes war today, what really counts is having expendable infantry armed with hi-tech missiles and drones. Western countries can not tolerate losing too many men, but Russia can; plus, despite the embargo it still can produce hi-tech missiles.
The Russians are known to start slow and finish fast. In WW2, the Germans ran circles around the Russians, until around 2 years into the war when more modern tanks were being deployed
I must say this has the be the first non-basis channel I see so far, I really appreciate how you guys don't just say that Ukraines winning everything-you look at truth, (I don't want Russian lies either) I sub'd a while ago- but I'm 100% going to recomend this channel as a channel that looks at what really happen- not the Tv version. (btw I think I would still run from any tank =/)
The video claims at 3:18 it's claimed that not only have Kornet ATGM's destroyed Leopard and Challenger tanks but Abrams as well... Abrams haven't even arrived in Ukraine yet and won't for months. There have also been zero visually confirmed Challenger losses. Any channel that calls the Ukrainian government the "Kiev regime" instead of government and shows video at 1:10 of a failed Russian assault from near the start of the war when talking about Ukrainian defeats is not being unbiased. Yes the start of the video does show a failed Ukrainian offensive but there is so much pro Russian bias and flat out lies please do not think this is some unbiased source, just as overly pro Ukrainian sources can distort the situation so does this video. Notice the general language as well, Ukraine is suffering "devastating defeats" and is "desperate." And although the counter offensive has not gone as well as many had assumed it would running into minefields, artillery, drones and ATGM's were not unexpected problems, they were just harder to get through than hoped.
@@oryxland3994 I have read that tho Challenger is in Ukraine, it has not been used yet in battle. Perhaps when there is a full offensive will the Challenger be used.
In Russia, people mostly watch Telegram channels without censorship. Also in Russia there is an opportunity to receive information from all over the world, analyze and have an idea of what is happening. Also, do not forget that we receive a lot of information from our soldiers fighting in Ukraine. This is the most accurate information.
If its true then they gonna do sh*t. Khmelnytskyi (around a 2 months) ago have contained the DU rounds for the challengers. City had a huge explosion which looked like a tactical nuke. You can find videos about it and in the videos you can hear smaller explosions too. Its 50/50 they dont have much ammo for those tanks,but i wasnt there so i dont know 😂 Some sources talked about the potential destruction of the DU rounds
When a Russian tank is destroyed: they are weak, garbage, ineffective etc. When a German tank is destroyed: all tanks can be destroyed, nothing is invincible 😂😂
sounds like a bit of Russian bias here....Leopard has been beaten in some circumstances of course, as will any tank. He should use the same logic about his Russian tanks.
The Russians are once again beautifying the world. But the end of the war they started will be very cruel for them. The process of the disintegration of Putin's regime has begun, but the fanatical Russian does not see it and will not see it just like that.
Well Ukrainians had 1000 t-72s, I wonder what happened to those… most likely counted as Russian losses. How many times do you think you laughed at burning men jumping out of a tank thinking they were Russians only to find out that Ukraine lost the 2nd biggest tank army in Europe in under a year.
The trouble with Russian claims, is the lack of evidence.....or claiming to have destroyed the Ukrainian air force 3 times over or the 4 times more tanks than Ukraine has ever had, and yet Ukraine seems to have more equipment to put into the fight. Whilst after more than 500 days of a 10 day smo, russia has gained very little.....
U are forgeting that ukraina is getting armor and weapona all time from nato and usa..... Russians destroy 60% their weapons and armor, nato send them 40% again, and again...
Good episode. Not really just about the leopard 2. Any tank without infantry and air support is vulnerable. Precision munitions are changing modern warfare.
Aircraft wiill be subjected to new weapons just like the current tanks are. Manpads will take down cover aircraft flying at lower altitudes, that is unless effective missile jamming technology is onboard said aircraft.
The Ukranians are taking out more Russian armor pieces per their losses, which shows their strategic abilities are superior. However, the Russians are unlimited in man power, which could take out any military in a fight. Putin can care less about his losses in men!
@@ryanturnerboles They intervened long ago, otherwise the Ukraine would have been taken by the Russians on February 22, after eight years of massacres in the Donbas. 🤔👍
I understand you, but Russia didn't declare a war on Ukraine. It's still a SMO . Russia fights more humanely than the NATO. Russia has to slow grind Ukraine forces to a total collapse. This war doesn't cost Russia as much as it cost the collective West and NATO. It makes sense for Russia to fight the way they are doing. Ukraine and NATO are both getting demilitarised in the process.
Tanks are now being fitted with APS and Anti drone systems that are making drones and atgms pretty much ineffective. If anything standard infantry and atgms are obsolete. While mechanised infantry and tanks are the future
"Russian deploy Kornet missles in Ukraine ,disebling, not only Leopard tanks but Challanger and Abrams tanks."Lol, Chanllanger was not even dployed yet on battle and Arbarms not even arrived in Ukraine.
And NONE of your clown claims are factual or has happened. Funny how you Russian trolls also post BS thinking people will believe it without checking. Stick to getting drunk comrad!
The reputations for both the Abram and Leopard 2 tanks were nothing more than hype and propaganda!! When both got tested facing "real'" adversaries, they lost royally!! They only rely on facing outdated armies!
Russia is fighting against Nato more than 32 countries including usa during Ukraine wars.....similar to China fighting against more than 52 UN members countries led by usa during korean wars....but still won the wars
No weapon is invincible in the battlefield. What the West underestimated is the will of the fighting force and the strategies employed. The Russians made a major strategic error in their attack of Kyiev, but they are now well entrenched and adapted. The Russian army is a more formidable fighting force than any the West met in the Middle East. The very fact that the Ukrainians are resorting more and more into terror and guerrilla strikes rather than direct military actions indicates their desparation. This is a slow drain war where Russia has an advantage in numbers. Why dont the West encourage negotiations rather than fake flag waving? A lot ordinary Ukrainians will have their life back.
Have you noticed all and I do mean ALL the dead russian tanks littering the Ukrainian countryside? Hit those things with so much as a warm candle and they go up like fireworks. More than 1500 have been killed or captured so far. They litter the landscape so I wouldn't be the first to join the russian army and be promoted instantaniously to the russian air force in a thousandth of a second. Those have been video'd hundreds of times! Funny as hell!
I think that may the Leopard 2a6 is not made for this type of battles, just because It does not have any type of anti-drone or ERA protection like Russian tanks
@@MrRoyalbeers don’t make it complicated the German tanks have been proven worthless the great game changers were destroyed in Syria and Ukraine. Leopards are only good for scrap metal
Nowadays every tank is a sitting duck whether it's a Leopard, Tiger, T-72, Abram, Pershing, Challenger, Chieftain, or whatever...In other words tanks are useless in modern war...
Doesn't look like any of the tanks had ERA nor air support; much less going across on a minefield without adequate support, so it's a shame that the equipment and personnel were essentially wasted. Hopefully, a lesson learned.
I do not know why you, or somebody else, zoomed in and encircled those vehicles at 0:52 minutes when talking about the Leopard 2 tank, because those are definitely no Leopard 2 tanks! One was standing front right, still most intact and has been repared since.
I'm definitely getting the feeling this is a Russian channel, funnelling misinformation. The worrying thing is, many people see this as objective stuff.

Leopard tanks looking like 🍿 on the battlefield alongside the Abrams tanks. This war is a strategic matter of low budget weapons destroying extremely high cost western equipment. It's like using a slingshot to bring down an American apache helicopter. Ridiculous.
In my opinion Tanks, Carriers and Jets are entering into obsolescence, near future missiles or drones of considerably cheaper value and smaller would efficiently destroy slow and very expensive vehicles.
Totally agrees with u. Huge artelery with 200 mm plus is gone, and battleship too.

It is your sovereign right to be entirely incorrect !
Tanks like the Leopard or M1 Abrams were designed in the 1970s and 80s. A drone attack from above wasn't really envisioned at the time. Now the relatively thin top armor becomes a problem.
yeh sure .. abrams have thin top ... lol search a photo where the hatch is open.. and rethink again : _ D
@@hithere7547 Saudi Arabia had M1 Abrams deployed in Yemen. I've seen videos of them being destroyed over there. Simply do a search.
The main problem is the terrain conformation , plus poor experience , and then on the first line defence you have this square open fields filled with mines and scouted by drones that will send coordinates for the arty
This is why russians put the cope cages on their tanks that the west was mocking....now I see ukraine is starting to put theirs on too 😂
But they are primitive compared to the russian cope cages which are intelligently designed and employ the use of ERA, thus effectively defeating tandem charge warheads from top
@@hithere7547 Even 5 cm RHS at the top would not be enough for a shaped charge drone warhead.

Yes, Leopard 2´s have been lost. That is true. And they will get destroyed. They are not invinceble. But never was a crew lost. They always made it out alive. Tanks can be replaced. The crew is much more valuable.
It looks to me like there's been a fundamental technological change since the end of the cold war/Gulf war. Antitank rockets (Kornet) and especially loitering munitions (Lancet) mean that even well-built tanks with the best defenses money can buy are vulnerable to relatively cheap weapons that the tank's crew will likely never even notice. If Russia had the ability to produce enough Lancets, they could send them out over the front lines and disable every Ukrainian vehicle. I don't know when the next war will happen, but I'm thinking it will look very different from what militaries have been planning for.
Weapons are very sophisticated these days thanks to GPS and A.I.
Remember the Russians have a very robust space program; they launch thousands of satellites.
Any military on earth can send "toy sized" drones with high def spy cameras at 50x zoom, in the air to hover within yards of a large price of artillery, troop formation, or barracks and then send that pinpoint location and cordinates back to a laser guided system. In the old days militaries had to use recon teams on the ground to track and to point lasers at targets.
My point being, any man that signs up to fight a war with robots, GPS, drones, and laser guided systems, is just signing up for a suicide mission. And that includes U.S. army, Navy, and Marines as well.
Join the Air Force and pray that they send you in stealth air craft!
Technology changed the landscape of warfare however the poor performance of MBTs in the russian-ukraine war is also attributed to poor battle tactics. Sending a tank formation without proper infantry, arty and air support is basically giving free kills to the enemy which is what ukraine has been constantly doing. A lot of military weapons are meant to be used as a joint battlegroup. There is no one weapon that is all purpose, anti-everything, solo powerhouse.
That said technology is a gamechanger. I've been out of the military more than a decade ago and back then we didn't see quite a few of the new gadgets we have now. Nowadays the military has cybersecurity divisions and drone operators for infantry formations to name a few.
The Azerbaijan, Armenia war told me all I need to know. Western military's have no clue and are to woke to adapt to any changes.
well...the young kids @ Ariel School in Zimbabwe...did say -- don't get too TECHNOLOGED
The FUTURE is Russia launching Lance's and small drones with spent plutonium and small nuke warheads.
This viral picture of the Bradley square in Zaporozhye would really stick for long 😂😂😂😂
It shows that no much of a "game changer" a wepon can be, they all burn without proper air support.

Guessing it takes more than two weeks to train on a tank. Being a former M60A3 tanker, it takes more than two weeks. It takes months. As for F16s, Im sure it takes a few months to train. Correctly

No wepaon system works in isolation. The Tigers and Panthers had no comparable Western tanks, yet Germany lost the war.
So it isn’t about the Leopard 2 specifically but MBTs in general

@@gucci3541 also you are forgetting that this isnt a tank battle
@@MrRoyalbeers no shit? wow! eureka!
@@gucci3541 this is weird you compare it to one?
No Koenigstiger was used in Kursk (they entered service later). Germans used around 200 Panthers and 90 Tigers. They proven much superior to Soviet tanks and a problem for soviet AT weapons... when they did not broke, which happened very often, so that most of them rarely saw action. On the contrary, in the present war Leopard 2s are realiable but vulnerable.
It seems to me that they always target the turret which is supposedly the most heavily armored and protected with reactive armor. Yet, if the tracks are hit, won't the tank be disabled and unable to continue the fight?
However, having said that, the drones seem to be doing the job and in many cases the turrets are blown off the tank. If so, maybe the day of tanks is over, like the battleship. Maybe the day of drones is the current era of warfare. One kilogram, which is about 2 lbs, is all it takes for a Lancet drone of Russia to kill a Leopard tank.
Supposedly the UK Challenger tank is in Ukraine and the Abrams are supposedly being rushed to Ukraine----with trained crews. The Challengers were supposed to use those depleted uranium rounds which were blown up at a depot by the Russians. Do they have alternate munitions? The Abrams are refurbs and not the latest 'gee whiz' from the US. With the history of the German Leopards, it would seem the Challengers and Abrams would fare no better. Is there something about the Challengers and Abrams that makes them better than the Leopards?
We don't know about the Challengers because the Limey's won't let the Ukes use them. Pity. There would be more video's coming like this one. Instead of western propaganda.
In all the videos, those tanks and ifvs are not moving, that means they already hit mines and immobile. The later attacks were to completely destroy the vehicle.
tanks are finished ..after this war they will all go to scrap yards..
@@LNGD_46 that's not true. we see video of moving vehicle getting hit on the turret all the same, it just a question of hitting what is easy to hit, the track are a much smaller target to try and aim, and if you can punch the turret anyway, who care how much thicker it is?
@@lagrangewei they are not moving cuz they either hit a mine or their lead vehicle did.
So Russia just figured out to attack the tanks top, sides and rear? Wow. What was Germany thinkin'.
Germany and every other country in Occident was thinking the same: How can I make this tank more expensive and also get more Government contracts?
Every tank is more vulnerable from every side besides the front, otherwise they become way too heavy and barely usable like the turtle tanks.
In my opinion, modern warfare make tanks obsolete
It feels like its the last war when tanks is the major type of technology, they look cool though
Almost like it's a bad idea to send armor with no air cover or air defenses whatsoever. Who would've thought...
Except that it wasnt defeated? Ukraine has gained more ground in a month than Russia has in a year..

Finally something that is non bias my god…
What I understand is this: to win a no-nukes war today, what really counts is having expendable infantry armed with hi-tech missiles and drones. Western countries can not tolerate losing too many men, but Russia can; plus, despite the embargo it still can produce hi-tech missiles.
Weapons are no more than pieces of chess on a chess board. Nothing is safe if you use them wrongly.
The Russians are known to start slow and finish fast. In WW2, the Germans ran circles around the Russians, until around 2 years into the war when more modern tanks were being deployed
lol no they arent. They are known for destroying everything.
The wonder weapon,wonder where they are now.
I must say this has the be the first non-basis channel I see so far, I really appreciate how you guys don't just say that Ukraines winning everything-you look at truth, (I don't want Russian lies either)
I sub'd a while ago- but I'm 100% going to recomend this channel as a channel that looks at what really happen- not the Tv version.
(btw I think I would still run from any tank =/)
Stupid russian - undwer vodka.
The video claims at 3:18 it's claimed that not only have Kornet ATGM's destroyed Leopard and Challenger tanks but Abrams as well... Abrams haven't even arrived in Ukraine yet and won't for months. There have also been zero visually confirmed Challenger losses. Any channel that calls the Ukrainian government the "Kiev regime" instead of government and shows video at 1:10 of a failed Russian assault from near the start of the war when talking about Ukrainian defeats is not being unbiased.
Yes the start of the video does show a failed Ukrainian offensive but there is so much pro Russian bias and flat out lies please do not think this is some unbiased source, just as overly pro Ukrainian sources can distort the situation so does this video. Notice the general language as well, Ukraine is suffering "devastating defeats" and is "desperate." And although the counter offensive has not gone as well as many had assumed it would running into minefields, artillery, drones and ATGM's were not unexpected problems, they were just harder to get through than hoped.
@@oryxland3994 I have read that tho Challenger is in Ukraine, it has not been used yet in battle. Perhaps when there is a full offensive will the Challenger be used.
In Russia, people mostly watch Telegram channels without censorship.

Also, do not forget that we receive a lot of information from our soldiers fighting in Ukraine. This is the most accurate information.

Show me one tank, that can not be defeated?
Throughout history, whenever the Germans had the opening sentence, the last word always belonged to the Russians!
The trouble with Russian claims, is the lack of evidence.....or claiming to have destroyed the Ukrainian air force 3 times over or the 4 times more tanks than Ukraine has ever had, and yet Ukraine seems to have more equipment to put into the fight.

No weapon is invincible in the battlefield. What the West underestimated is the will of the fighting force and the strategies employed. The Russians made a major strategic error in their attack of Kyiev, but they are now well entrenched and adapted. The Russian army is a more formidable fighting force than any the West met in the Middle East. The very fact that the Ukrainians are resorting more and more into terror and guerrilla strikes rather than direct military actions indicates their desparation. This is a slow drain war where Russia has an advantage in numbers. Why dont the West encourage negotiations rather than fake flag waving? A lot ordinary Ukrainians will have their life back.
For once I agree with Putin, it seems the old Soviet equipments are superior to the new western equipments 😂!
