- Latest military technologies and weaponry are being utilized in the war in Ukraine. Ukrainians themselves have already proven to be outstanding warriors. But what does the work of the world's best military professionals look like on the inside? See in the ‘Profession: Warrior’ project. Today, our hero is the commander of one of Ukraine's most modern tanks-Leopard 2A6.

You can always build new tanks but you CANNOT replace a experienced tank crew.
So true.
True. Inexperienced crews will always be costlier regardless of the technology.
Tanks have a specific niche in war. Requires alot of discipline to not use it as an IFV.
And that’s what lots of people don’t understand. Nobody ever said Leopards are invincible etc., but what makes them so much better than eastern tanks is the fact that the crew chance to survive is way way higher even when the tank gets lost.
True in every sense.
Just look at the Russian tank crews. They are terrible, and so poorly trained. They waste their ammunition, and don't know how to skilfully move in battle. Give me 1 Ukrainian tank crew over 5 Russian tank crews any day.
Just wanted to point out, to those who don't know, that the 3d model used in the presentation of the Leopard 2A6 tank is actually a Leopard 2A4 tank (a much less advanced model some 30 or so years older).
It looks cool though. That slab front turret makes it look a lot like its granddad.
@@sandzibar the Tiger 1?
Sure....but these Leopards are still an overmatch against T-72s
I was bothered by that as well, like I appreciate the content but how could they fuck that up? Literally the star of the show and they draw it incorrectly
I recognised this too.

Yes, and the coverage of the Turret Toss, a hotly debated topic on the Suchomimus channel. Some award points for dramatic twirls and the "lollipop landing" when barrel sticks itself in the ground.

Downvoted and reported right there. War is terrible. Nobody should make such disgustingly ridiculous remarks about it.
@@DragonOfInfinity People who attempt to censor other peoples thoughts are disgusting and ridiculous. You must be a liberal, and democrat or right wing religious nut?
This Tank was developed to protect Europe's freedom. And it is doing it in Ukraine.
History repeats itself for sure. German tanks fighting in Ukraine...
And the Ukraine IS part of Europe and IS NOT part of Russia. It is quite appropriate that the premier European MBT defends a European country. Cheers from Canada

Best wishes from Germany. I wish my government had really understood the seriousness of the situation in Ukraine and would do more. The good news, however, is that EU pledged an additional 50 billion euros to support Ukraine.
🤣🤣🤣
U are an clown....... believe what they feed u brain with.......sad
It is about us other Europeans not having to die on the battlefield. Slava Ukraini.
@@Hoenir I agree, the Russian system is redicolous.
I’m from the US i feel very upset with republicans and my government as a whole they could’ve ended this before it began but our leaders lack willpower to concerned about figuring out which bathroom to use.
I came with a saying for China and US but I work for West and Russia too.
“Russia has its finger on the trigger and the west has theirs up their butt”
"Every tanker understands, that this mission might be his last"
What a cold line, these guys are some tough SOBs!
But thats the reality of war. Doesnt matter which role you're assigned to, you'd always be in mortal danger.
Worthy cause when fighting for your people. And they know Russia is a brutal enemy. They want to "de Nazify" and want all of these men destroyed if they win and will ruin the lives of everyone left.
From Germany, with love for you guys👍👍👍👍♥️🇩🇪

As a swiss i always feel ashamed when seeing the ukrainian people defending the values of a free europe. We still have around 70 unused Leo2 A4 and 12'500 Gepard shells and because of "nEuTRaLity" we are not giving it to the Ukraine. It's a shame. Slava Ukraine!
Values of a free Europe. Ich lache immer noch.

@@militarytension236 hdf du HS
WE the US, have around 2000 older Abrams in "storage", which are still better than any Russian tank today....but the dem party is "compromised".
@@cbnkp Uuuuuuh, er hat etwas gegen einen Kommentar gesagt. Das muss auf jeden Fall ein russischer Bot sein👌🤣
Hast du auch ein Argument oder bleibt es bei deiner geistiger 08/15-Nullnummer?
KMW and Rheinmetall are getting soooo much Real Life Battlefield Data for improving their Products. To make them even better.
A big testfield...
Best thing about the Leopard is crew safety! Even when knocked out by which they have been, you can always replace a tank not a combat experienced crew!
Yes, but keep in mind that few hits into same spot will penetrate everything. But Leopard’s crew will survive more shots than T-72. It gives crew higher chance of surviving.
NATO has never been in this type of war, Ukraine doesnt have airsuperiority. And those Leopards were built according this strategy, so for Leopards to survive, they have to do some heavy lifting and all they do is extra work which wasnt calculated in design.
Im not saying its bad tank (its not!), but the way of designing it wasnt this type of war.
Ukraine needs F-16, newest rockets and glide bombs and all other ground launch long range rockets. In very high numbers like several thousands of units.
We cant give Ukraine 100tanks and to expect any break through russian lines without destroying all ammo caches and hubs 100km far from front.
Abrams, Leopards, Challengers are best tanks in 2024, but they cant win without long range rockets support to cripple everything russia has.
Best wishes to Ukraine her Armed Forces and People 🇺🇦🇬🇧
Thank you ❤
Thank you 🇺🇦❤️🇬🇧
I watched United24 a bit more then sporadically .... but THIS was a good video. The best I seen from them. A bit like Radio Free Europe .... Intervju , stick the microphone into their faces , bring a camera ...and let the Ukranians speak.
Wish they would let them talk though and instead of doing voiceover just add subtitles.
@@Leadfoot_P71 yes you are right. We could then use an App and translate ourselves. More safe against manipulation.
There’s something about those German tanks… ❤ from 🇺🇸
Notice that not one person is talking about the Abrams? My guess is that they're all hanger queens.
@@mutteringmale or they are the ace in the hole❤️
@@mutteringmale abrams are logistic heavy and not EU based like leos. so they are 1.5 line use. like leo ones who easily pop but are only 2 kilometers okay.
Abrams is equal to Leopard. Same guns, same stabilizer and a lot more.
Just the engine and some other parts is different.
The Gas engine is the problem. it’s harder to maintain…
@@mutteringmale I believe Abrams haven't seen much front lines yet in Ukraine.

Thank you guys for fighting!
Do they have a choice?
Man's of steel! Brave warriors! ❤ May all Gods protect them!
That "it has a reverse gear" hit in the soul as an avid videogame enthusiast, you can't explain people what a gamechanger a reverse gear is
There's a mistake in the transcript for this. Of course, every T series has a reverse gear too. The big thing is, that the leopard 2 has a direction shifter, which means it can go as fast backwards as it can forward, while a t72 can only crawl back, just as a car.
Leopard 2 can kill a t series tank evn before they knew it's existence.
Russians use UAVS to surveil the front 24/7 and any leopard that gets spotted is targeted with drones or artillery. Ukraine hasn't used any leopards on the front since their failed offensive in Robotyne
@@vistakay you , for 100% sure haven t been following the same war !!!ukraine have been using leopards on the front and with alot sucess!!! Bradley s are doing wonders for Ukrainian troops on the ground... leopards and bradleys are so deadly together!!! Slava Ukraine 🇪🇺🇵🇹💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🦾💪🏻

Brave men.
Doesn't need the music while he's talking. Just gets in the way of listening.
One thump up from Germany
The video is very good in my mind. A lot of effort must have been put into the production. It was unusually difficult for me too, though, to distinguished what was spoken because of the music. I hope they take this into consideration with their future videos.
Vielen Dank an die Menschen in Deutschland für Ihre Hilfe bei der Abwehr von Aggressionen! Sehr coole Audiobegleitung der Handlung!! Ehre sei den Helden!
Danke schoen. Sehr gutes Deutsch!
Nö
great video, except for the 2a6 model you have which is a leopard 2a4
I’d love to buy these guys dinner and some beers. Just to hear their stories. My days of good stories from the Cold War are long behind me and I miss being with my buddies putting our lives on the line. 40+ years later and my tight knit group are still in touch although we’re grayer, rounder and slower. G*d bless the Ukrainian Warriors!
slava ukraini
You can at least send them some mones for beers via the Paypal link at the end of the Video :)
Great guys - respect from Denmark
HAHAAA I like how they call the ammunition door the refrigerator. Eastern Europeans are funny how they give nicknames to everything. I love that humor.
Endlich hört man mal etwas Positives über den Leopard 2 A6. Danke!
These guys are going be training other tankers soon
I just want to thank these people for their effort, for their fighting, for giving their life for us all! All the best wishes from Switzerland ❤
Lmao
A Leopard also makes a lot of sense in normal life:
You always have the right of way on the road-
You always find a parking space even if its taken.
Discussions with the Police are VERY brief.
So the Leopard is even better than an SUV in the city.
I wish you victory 😀
Effectivement il y a bien une erreurs dans la vidéo.le léopard 2A6 qui est présenté est enfaîte un 2A4.mais la vidéo est cool quand même.👍
Good clarification.
Le modèle réduit de char au 1:06 est un 2A4. Le char du commandant est un 2A6.
@@herosstratos Canada provided some of these to the UAF as well, the one you pointed out doesn’t have the appliqué armour that Canada upgraded the our 2A4’s with. It would be nice to see our tanks giving some well deserved justice to the Russians. I am a great fan of the French AMX and self propelled artillery systems as well. The new French mobile bridging system slated to be delivered to the Ukraine is truly a fantastic piece of engineering equipment as well. Cheers from Canada
These men are something else, the courage is off the charts! 💛💙💪🏻
Respect from the UK.
1:00
Sorry @UNITED24... you are rendering a Leo2(A1-A4) model. Starting from A5 modification it always has wedge shaped stand-off armor on turret face.
Edit: otherwise good material.
Slava UA!
Now he turns his enemies into dust.... That was metal.
quite literally :D
The fumes post firing a shell enters the Russian tanks that's why the hatches are often found open that's nice for the drones.
Much respect from an old Tanker.
Just a correction in the video; the 3D animation of the 3 tanks shows a Leopard 2A4, not a 2A6. But may God bring these men home safe!
4 times hit and no crew losses. That’s amazing!
No, just made in Germany.
Ukraine needs more of these tanks. They are as you can see very capable crewmen with little training.
💪🇫🇮🇺🇦🫡
Awesome.
That was a wonderful video Zayhard you sound like a good Commander and thank you for your bravery and out of your crew Slava Ukraine
You guys are just freaking legends. full support from Australia. Tough, smart and very capable soldiers.
Thanks to those brave defenders of freedom and democracy.
Thank you for your service - both to your country and to the free world.
A world under the control of USA cannot be a free world
The world you are talking about has the innocent blood of millions of people on its hands
Innocent people in nations like in Iraq Libya Africa Vietnam Latin America etc have been killed by the so called free world
The speed limits are only for brochures and papers, but in real life, it can go faster. The Leclerc MBT as well can go faster than what indicated in specifications. Leclerc MBT is also reaching 80 km/h or slightly more, since it's even lighter than the Leo MBT.
60 tons of steel and fury rolling down the road 80kph must be insane feeling
there is a reason for speed limit on tanks, and that it is stupid crew. any leo 1 or 2 or gepard can go 80 or 90 km/h, but it will it rip its tracks apart in under 100 km. ariete and leclerc same of course.go 60 kph / tracks may last 1-2000 km, go 80 300-500, go full speed,i wont give you a number.
they can go faster with some work, but are intentionally throttled down to not damage the engine, tracks and transmission. Top speed is less important than torque to get through difficult terrain.
Excellent video, awesome achievement, courage and guile…
💛🔱💙 Slava Ukraina! Heroyam Slava! ❤️🖤
They have been trainef with the Leo II in Spain too.
Good luck mates!!!
Y España sigue entrenando ucranianos en varias otras diciplinas.Esta guerra tiene q mostrar al mundo,como Occidente defiende su Democracia.Saludos desde Argentina!!!
Heroiam Slava!
The image @ 1:20 shows a Leo 2A4 not the 2A6. I think Ukraine also received some of those but i tough most are 2A6 variants. The turret looks quite different compared to the A4.
Good to hear these new tanks help defending Ukraine and are keeping the people inside safe.
1:05 says 2A6... shows 2A4
🤓
the main difference is that turret but the slopes are just add on protection and under it there's the square looking turret similar to 2A4
Thanks, UNITED24.
4:11 Stats for western equipment is expect to meet it's specified values at the very least, performing underspec will result in liability issues and overestimation of its capabilities. While Russian equipment will reach their specifications when the stars align.
In the west, you have multiple companies competing for a contract. The proposals get selected and prototypes are made.
Then the product gets shipped off to testing to see if it matches up with what the army wants.
You gotta overestimate. If you dont and it underperforms during testing, then the army rejects it in favour of your competitor.
In the USSR? There was maybe two design bureaus that competed at best.
And even then, it was more politics than money that motivated them.
@@honkhonk8009 The big strategy with the USSR was scaring the west. They believed by overstating within reason of what their equipment can do, would intimidate the West enough. Worked pretty well until the 80s and beyond in terms of being convincing.
Yeah but the west built to fight these over blown specs. And yeah… not working out for the Russians @@naitnait00
Thanks so much for creating and sharing this informative and timely video. Great job. Keep it up. 😺

What you show is a Leopard 2 A4, not A6 ...
Yeah but only in the animation so chill!
Top Strong Leopard A6 Tank with a great power Team inside ! YOU WIN EVERY BATTLE !
Thank you for your support! For Ukraine...no, for the whole world, victory in the war with Russia is important. We thank you for everything that you gave us, and when borders are closed somewhere or assistance is not confirmed, the heart of every Ukrainian bleeds from the realization that because of this, many of our people, friends and loved ones will die.
This war is our war, the Ukraine is fighting for us as well. I am Canadian and I know that the UAF is fighting for us as well. Cheers from Canada

An excellent and insightful video. Thank you. 👍
Just for future videos, the 3d animation shows a Leopard 2a4 (see the turrent).
lol
without closing the 'fridge' door one can get down to a 3 second cadence (former Leopard 1 tank commander). So I guess with the safety door to the ammunition 'bunker' a good crew might be able to sustain a 4 second cadence. This only limited by the ammo and the used shell casings rolling on the floor. At three to four seconds cadence one isn't able to dispose them to the outside ...
I remember a Polish tank instructor commenting that he's never seen worse tank drivers in his entire career than Ukrainians. They even managed to make one Leopard hump another and throw the turret out of the basket.
"he is working with the leopard 2a6" continues to show leopard 2a4

Switzerland moved their 25 Leopard 2A4s to Germany. It looks like Ukraine will get a new batch of these. 😉
No! The Agreement ist clear! These Leo2 A4 are not allowed to be delivered to Ukraine... but these wil be delivered to KMW or Rheinmetall so that there companies can give their tanks to Ukraine.
@@honkdatonk1819who cares
25 tanks for ukraine
@@obinator9065 The Ukrainians care. The same Swiss neutrality excuse is responsible for their shortage in shells that was mentioned in the video. For some reason there is a Swiss factory that would be much faster at producing these shells than factories elsewhere. Don't know why but this has been mentioned several times in other videos.
Respect
nice vid! but isnt the lepoard 2a6 model at 1:17 a leopard 2A4?
Stay strong Ukraine
kinda crazy that they are on a 4th tank with no injuries
"we went to places even the germans where afraid to go" no offense, but that sounds more like german trainers told them "dont go there with a tank unless you want to be blown up" xD
Reminds me of the Tiger's introduction on the Eastern Front, Tigers crews had a saying, the T-34 "tips its hat" to every Tiger it meets.
respect respect respect!
"The 3 years course was shortened to 5 weeks!!!!"
El roi is with you God who sees even when everyone forgets Ukraine God sets his eyes upon Ukrainian people God be with you glory to him Slava Ukraine
Thanks to those crewmen. Everybody and their dog is hunting them out there but they go out again and again.
Its exciting to hear that they shrugged off 4 instances of being hit!
A soviet tank likely gives you a chance of 1 in 4...
Thats pretty much the most important quality of a tank that is inherently capable in the offensive role. Hardware can be replaced or fixed, lost experience can not.
I wonder if this version of my comment gets deleted as well. Its truly pathetic how aggressive the comment filter operates on these channels...
Awesome 👌
