Russian Experts Identify Weaknesses in German "Leopard 2" Tanks
Moscow - (Saba): Russian media reported that Russian forces regularly destroy Western-made tanks in the special military operation zone, including various German Leopard tanks. The Russian news agency Sputnik reported that specialists from the Russian state-owned Rostec Corporation have observed weaknesses in the German Leopard 2 tanks. Earlier, Rostec experts obtained a Leopard 2A6 tank captured by Russian forces in the special military operation zone to assess its actual military-technical characteristics. Rostec stated: "A study conducted by our experts showed that the Leopard 2 tank suffers from defensive weaknesses related to the thickness and composition of the armor, as well as the internal design of the combat vehicle." The tank's survivability may be limited in modern warfare conditions, for example, when attacked from different angles by drones equipped with modern anti-tank missiles and warheads. It can be concluded that the Leopard-2's protection focuses on traditional anti-tank capabilities, typical of past decades, and does not fully meet today's requirements. Moreover, the Kyiv regime possesses various versions of the older Leopard-1 tanks, which have largely lost their effectiveness. Rostec added: "Today, the Russian T-722B3M, T-80PVM, and T-90M tanks are considered the most adaptable to modern combat operations." We have improved comprehensive protection against drones and anti-tank missiles, from anti-cumulative nets to dynamic elements and other devices. According to the company, there are dozens of known combat incidents where Russian tanks withstood multiple attacks from various angles while maintaining their combat capability. Rostec continues to work on active protection systems for combat vehicles, and domestic equipment is being equipped with various electronic warfare systems. All of these solutions combined will ensure greater safety for Russian armored vehicles and increase their survivability on the battlefield. Whatsapp Telegram Email more of (International)
