Miracle weapon: The Armed Forces left enough Leopard-2-the media
However, only 7 such tanks were destroyed by the occupying troops of the Russian Federation in the battle for Rabotine Zaporizhzhya region. The use of the Armed Forces of German tanks was accompanied by vigilant attention from Germany. Yes, the politician of the Green Party Sebastian Shefer says that there are enough "leopards" in operation because Ukrainian fighters regularly repair the equipment. During the repair, the chains were also changed and the electronics was overhauled.
The commander of the Tank "Arfa" - a former steelwar, for six years in retirement, worked for two years a tank driver. Since June, he has been managing Leopard 2 together with three other soldiers, and before that, he was trained at a Munster military training ground for five weeks with other Ukrainian tankers. "Arfa" also participated in the battle for Avdiivka. "We went out daily for one and a half months. The greatest danger to us, along with other tanks, is drones," he says.
According to him, the intelligence and then shock drones of Russia use in large numbers. The fighter responds positively about the German Leopard. "The night vision and thermal imaging device are very good. The mobility is huge. The shells are loaded automatically, which was a novelty for me. And it shoots more precisely than other tanks," he says. However, he pointed to a life -threatening defect.
"Between the tower and the body, that is, the upper and lower parts of the tank, there is a large hole that needs to be closed urgently," he said. The head of the repair unit with the call sign "Mountain" regularly deals with the repair of tanks. "Our task is to force the tank to drive and shoot. And we will implement it," he says. He and his mechanics also studied in Germany at the five -week course in Aachen, Germany.
