Music teacher, gardener, and builder on the Leopard tank terrify the Russians.
Ukrainian soldiers from the 33rd Separate Mechanized Brigade continue the fight in the Kurakhiv direction. They successfully destroy enemy positions and bunkers using their Leopard 2A4 tank. This was reported by the 'Army TV' channel.
The fighters talk about their work on the battlefield. They executed an order to dismantle an enemy bunker, and they succeeded. However, in reality, tankers can destroy enemy targets even without the need to approach them.
These soldiers are quite skilled in operating the Leopard tank and discuss all its advantages. It is worth noting that they previously had civilian professions, but now they effectively carry out their military duties. They highly value German machinery and claim that the Leopard 2A4 can withstand RPG fire even up close. This tank also stands out for its accuracy and speed. Furthermore, the ammunition storage is located in a separate compartment, which is a very important feature for preserving the crew's lives in case of a shell hit.
The guys recount how they once had to confront two enemy T-64 tanks: 'We knocked one out, and the other tried to take cover behind the burning tank, but he didn’t make it - we got him anyway.'
It should also be noted that Russian forces have lost a significant amount of their heavy military equipment, particularly all stocks of T-90 tanks and a considerable portion of T-80s. This became known from one of the reports.
According to The Washington Post, in 2025, Russia will begin to face a tank shortage and production problems due to significant losses at the front and issues with developing new versions. Currently, equipment losses are so great that the Russians may not have enough stocks to replenish their losses. The accumulation of shortages is also largely attributable to sanctions threatening Russian manufacturers due to supply chain issues with necessary components.
