T-14, Abrams, Leopard, I wouldn’t want to be in any tank on the battlefield today. Anything coming from above means death either way.
Depends on the tac employed. Bad tactics, bad outcomes.
No doubt the threats against it can only getting more effective. But tanks are sill the main workhorse of the battlefields there and everywhere.
@@PhucDuong1234infantry will always be the “Main workhorse”
Unless you're part of combined arms warfare which is why fewer and fewer Russian tanks are destroyed in Ukraine.
Also knowing that the leopard, the challenger, and the abrams are complete crap, made for advertising.
Leopards were defeated in Syria. No tank is invincible anymore. They are just mobile targets.
Who destroyed Leopards in syria?

Zelensky said that Russia only have shovels to protect themselves 😂😂
Well, this is even worse for Ukraine. If Russian shovels can defeat main battle tanks, what happens if Russians finally start using their weapons?
@@barsoff They did. They already used Iskander, Kinzhal and now using Zirkon Shipmissiles. The Kinzal downed by Gepard Patriot and Iris T Systems.

*You can ONLY use tanks with combined Air and Ground Support. We have said it a thousand times.*
Exactly, people claiming the Leopard is "invincible" knows nothing how tanks are supposed to work. Any tank will get destroyed without proper ground or air support.
EXAKTELY !!!!! Now tell that the "country boys" !

Now what ?
Sometimes you can't afford all of them. Especially for the Ukraine military 😂
@@krany_ *Don't be a dick*
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 .
Their is bounty on them
Without air support or superiority, tanks are just expensive targets, nothing more nothing less.
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?
These tanks are good for joy riding especially in Iraq Afghanistan
well u need to think how many russia has lost lol
Russia lost cheap outdated MBTs, they haven't even deployed Armatas yet. The war is not even at the pinnacle, once they start blowing up nuclear power plants and use tactical nukes, that's when you should start selling shares in NYSE.
Russian tanks are good for flying with the Russian Air Force.
I couldn't agree more with you. They are only good in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, where people are defenseless .
@@askyalumumba3573 there was barely any abrams tanks deployed to Afghanistan, by that logic you could also say Soviet/Russian tanks are only good in defenseless countries such as Afghanistan.
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.
1943 - However, as the conflict unfolded, the Tigers & Panthers faced unforeseen challenges and suffered significant defeats at the hands of Russian forces.
2023 - However, as the conflict unfolded, the Leopard-2 faced unforeseen challenges and suffered significant defeats at the hands of Russian forces.
Significant defeats 😂 Only 4 destroyed out of over a hundred sent. There have been more T-90's destroyed in the past week than Leo's in the entire counteroffensive.
@@servel2 Keep following the globalist MSM narrative... and remember "It'll all be over by Christmas".
Haha, good one!
@@servel2At least 9 leopards were destroyed
And where did you get the data about the T-90M for a week?)
9 Abrahams took out 47 Russian Soviet tanks in minutes!
You forgot the 152mm krasnopol artillery round has destroyed several armored vehicles.
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.
@@williamzk9083 Then you just deploy another cheap af Uav? lmfao
russia has deployed literally a few dozen of them.
@@mrgrinch837cope harder
Ukr soldier also up a video leo 2 pop up there turret, there you go, heavy expensive metal
I think that's why Germany was hesitant at first to send their Leopard Tanks. They suspect that the battlefield war tactics change.
No they were hesitant because they know they were being fooled into being the only ones to send tanks America has over 10,000 Abrams tanks new and old why didn't they send any
Not really the west tech is based on Iraq and Afghanistan. Not a bear pure arrogance
Germany was hesitant because it expects the NATO nuclear powers to take the initiative. Once Britain and US promised MBT Germany followed.
Its because Rheinmetal didn't want to lose stocks 🤣
@@Cotac_Rastic Why would Rheinmetall loose stocks? They’ve got big orders from Norway and German Army for Leopard 2A8
The Leopard is not a bad tank, it is one of the most formidable tanks. They were just not used properly in Ukraine. Without combined armed forces (infantry, artillery,air support and defense) they are very vulnerable.
Leopard is money-making tank, not war tank. Yes, war is not properly using.
You cant do anything against these drones.
Every tank is good until it gets in the frontline, afther that the winner is who got the most tanks to waste.
По Российскому Т90,было 19попаданий,а он вышел из боя ,своим ходом, русские танки,лучшие в мире,а немецкие и америкосовские,по сравнению с ними,дерьмо.
Industrial Military Complex is about profit margin and not about making good weapon systems. Paying $500 for a Walmart $4.99 hammer will not get much value for armed forces . This entire War business is a scam designed to steel from tax payers . Walk the walk and talk the talk diverge on the battle field every day .
Reality of war is always different than anticipated
Ну да реалии войны дает сильное развитие военной мысли. Вон сейчас дроны фвп творят жесть. Им пофиг пехоты, танк , машина.
Long story short, this is the first time that NATO weapons are up against a formidable modern army and are getting exposed as ordinary.
All of this fancy equipment was portrayed as invincible against the poor Iraqis… but not against Russia.
anyone that actually fights back against any bully will expose them. Russia and China wont let them run all over them the way middle east and Africa did.
Yeah, ordinarily 'Western' crap meant for sales, not war.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and figure you've never heard of desert storm.
@@mrgrinch837as was said a country that had nothing. Which had NATO there so please poor analogy they have met an equal beating over 37 countries
The Russian army is far from modern. They simply have bulk and are taking on a country with a third of their population. If they were actually going up against NATO, they would have been wiped out by now
Next up M1 Abrams
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)))))

Technology keeps changing how wars are being fought. Tanks are the main land based mobile weapon in WW2, but not anymore as drones are taking over.
That leopard was really hyped. What NATO should’ve really invested in was fighter, jets, and more weapons like missiles with a range over 150 miles.
We have fighter jets. But NATO isn't fighting.
On todays modern battlefields, there are just too many ways to take out armor.
There always was. Still we see them drive through trenches
@@MrRoyalbeers there always were options but now there are just better. I don't think in ww2 they had guided smart rockets and helis with thermal.
tank will become obsolete just like battleship, future tank will be packed with missile and intel equipment instead of cannon and armor, just like the how destroyer replaced battleship
Not really, you just need to apply your "tools" correctly.
In Yemen We saw a man riding a donkey armed with only an RPG bring a tank convoy to a standstill 😂😂😂
Combined arms is needed to use tanks properly. Otherwise... tanks are just target practice.
Good luck doing that when the bulk of your soldiers have 1-2 months of total military experience.
So Russia just figured out to attack the tanks top, sides and rear? Wow. What was Germany thinkin'.
Nothing is indestructible both sides! If ur tank is spotted it will be destroyed, if u snuck up to an opponent? U win the round!! Its all about who gets the first accurate shot!!
Actually the western equipment has been designed to be much more survivable than the russian piece of crap. Don't believe me, listen to the interviews of the "SURVIVORS", not too many have crawled out of the russian garbage.
Yes, but Kornets, Vikhr, etc have almost 3 times the range... so
The point is nothing is indestructible !! I should highlight that for u !
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.
Most of the destroyed "Leopards" seem to be Bradleys 😆

You mean they went visiting the cemetery 🪦 of those dead burned tanks !!
@@snowpiercer4777 hell
unironically burn at the same place just like ww2 tank
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.
sure.. thats because a leo is named bird.. and not leo : _ D
duh call owning the air .
Since leopards and Bradleys columns cant even reach the first line of Russian defense ROFL
They fight as the Soviets did but they dont have the resources to do that.
Gifts from the west, the US has peaked.
Soon Ukrain politicians and vendors will pack their boat loads of dollars and head west.
There is no war like you want , there is no war for tanks only
Finally something that is non bias my god…
on top of these missiles mentioned, all tanks could be easily stopped by just driving onto a mine. nevermind the tough armour it carries

@@ibrahimmoncada2710 No. But we think Himars can find russian air defences
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.

It is your sovereign right to be entirely incorrect !
If I understood correctly, there was just lacking infantry, in order to defend from airborne projectiles. I guess those should be equipped with tennis rackets.
Being a tank, it's a sitting duck from aerial attack. Tanks are only useful after the oppositions air power has been neutralized

@@MrVolodus Right! Russian post Soviet era tanks succeeded in demonstrating their efficiency in the Ukrainian battlefields with good tactics and strategy. Nevertheless, every nation is conscious that modern weapons with good tactics and strategy assure more efficiently its future, its sovereignty and independence.

Agreed... NATO push Ukraine to War just to test Russia Capacity in the Battlefield... they still cannot belive that all military equipment send to Ukraine as turn into scrap metal.

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.
Where did this guy dream up defeated Challengers and Abrams. Abrams hasn't even gotten to the battlefield. As soon as I heard that I'm gone.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I can't find any unbiased reporting confirming Challenger or Abrams losses
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
Ditto....a claim with zero proof.

Turkish Abrams were destroyed by Kurds in Syria.
25 years ago afriend of mine did said, tank are like moving coffin. Its effectiveness already long gone after world war 2 with the developement of infantry anti tank missile.

Germany was forced by it's occupier to embarrass itself in Ukraine. Remember it didn't want to supply them at first.
Germans must finally understand that they need to free themselves from their occupiers or other wise the Amis gonna keep exploiting them until Germany is doomed.
Didn’t they sent the older versions? I thought newer ones have a top secret better armor, I mean atleast leopards are not flying into the orbit like the Russian tanks, they give crew a chance to live in leopards, meanwhile Russian tanks are pure kill boxes…

You don't say
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"
The 'Kornet' is less portable by only 2 seconds. LOL. It's better than the 'Javelin' because it's cheaper and just as effective against heavy armour.
@@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.
Is javelin 1 hit kill against the tank? Also how much seconds till lock on?
Likewise, the Ukrainians used or still using the Javelin and the NLAW which have decimated the tank armoured forces of Russia.
It doesn't surprise me that the Leopard 2 didn't achieve the expected success against the Russians. It was designed for Central European terrain, with significantly more hills and forests. Russian tanks are built flatter, have less armor, but can also move faster in the wide open terrain of the Russian/Ukrainian countryside. And they in turn use less fuel, which also makes it easier to supply supplies during quick advances in open terrain.
Surprising defeat of Leopard 2? Are you serious? Every unbiased military expert stated from the start that these NATO tanks will be obliterated in Ukraine.
The sheep of the West which were fed propaganda over the past year and a half just stumbled upon reality!
yet you subscribe to a blatantly biased channel. you wanna make a big hubbub about NATO tanks being vulnerable but don‘t wanna talk about the overwhelming failure of the Armata and other Russian Armoured vehicles.
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
*years
If you fly the F16 in DCS you can easily get the basics down in 3-4 weeks :)
You are watching a Russian propaganda channel. If Leo2s had destroyed 5000 to 1 T72s in Ukraine. This story would still be about that 1 Leo that lost.

Questa guerra ha dimostrato che i carri armati non sono più inpiegabili in certe situazioni di guerra possiamo dirlo con certezza che missili e droni sono il futuro delle battaglie.
All high-tech military equipment is only as good as the military skills of those using them!
Burning well, no question about that.
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.
In fact Leopard is doing great after all the crew was safe, alive. It’s a tanks purpose. You expect 16 tanks to make a game change..?! While t90 crew tanks where all dead when tank got attacked.
Yes Ukraine is winning
Weapons are judge by the specifications and performance in streamlined environment. We often forget that battlefield is where tactics dominates and also win battles. M134 Minigun is a powerful weapon. However, in actual battle the machine gunner may be found slit from ear to ear while he was asleep by a kitchen knife in a sneak attack. A weapon is only as good as the men who are wielding it.
I am shocked to learn that these tanks were without infantry complement.
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

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.

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.....
Cope city here.
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...
5 tanks and a few disable Bradleys is called a defeat? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The last sentence (in the vid.), is the one that matters.
This certainly does not change the image of the Leopard 2A6 as an excellent tank and one of the best in the world at the moment. Certainly the best NATO tank in mass use at the moment. As Abrams and Challenger 2 are also excellent tanks... But here is the West itself, or better and more precisely, let's not lie, first of all the US as the boss, is waging a proxy war against Russia... And here they are right on the case of Leopard 2 tanks and IFV Bradley, you can see the level of blindness by their propaganda... Because people in the West really believed in their own propaganda and the lies that are told in that propaganda... A year and a half ago, from of the beginning of the second part of the Ukrainian war, from February last year ... Until today. So many were amazed "how is it possible that the Leopard 2A4/A6 was destroyed"?! Where is the biggest "game changer" Challenger 2? He is nowhere! It was presented so pompously in the propaganda, which thousands and millions of people believed... That it is "an incredible tank, a miracle of technology, which has never been destroyed until now, here are 14 pieces of these tanks for Ukraine, which will destroy hundreds of Russian tanks"?! Well, before the offensive itself, CNN showed how the Ukrainians are training now that they have modern Western equipment and Challenger 2 tanks, "you can see how they are easily breaking through the Russian lines"?! That's propaganda! The truth is completely different. The Challenger 2 is a much worse tank than the Leopard 2 A6, which was destroyed as soon as it appeared, and even the Leo 2 no longer appears on the battlefield. Until today, the Challenger 2 has not appeared on the battlefield at all?! Except in the Goebbelsian propaganda, in training, and in the media that spread that propaganda CNN, BBC, SUN, SKY, MSNBC, Free Europe/Ukraine... Let's remind you, not all the notorious lies of these Goebbelsian media "Russians are drunk backward genocidal lunatics, who remove chips from washing machines that were developed in the west to produce tanks... And even when they produce a tank, it is actually broken, because of corruption in Russia... The first series of extraordinary modernized T-55S tanks arrived in Ukraine from Slovenia "Although it is the same old T-55 tank with a slight modernization, which did not bring any special benefits to this tank?! However, this tank is really used by the Ukrainians on the front lines... On the other hand, several videos show that some T-55 tanks are being transported on trains in Russia, and this is the same propaganda of the above-mentioned and various other media from the West mocking "hahaha, here is the proof that the Russians have no more tanks, the Ukrainians destroyed everything with powerful Western weapons, and now there are also museum specimens of T-55 tanks, they only have that left"?! So the T-55 donated from Slovenia to Ukraine is an "incredible beast of a superior machine"?! But when the Russians do it, it's "hahah outdated garbage"?! Do you see the pattern of how globalist propaganda works?! Although so far we have not seen a single T-55 from the Russian side in the war in Ukraine, on the front lines! But that's why we saw the fate of the T-55 S from the Ukrainian side ... Russians mainly use T-72B3/B3M, T-80BVM, T-90S/M ... And these tanks are produced and modernized in three shifts in several factories ... so let's continue "spirit from Kiev, 13 from snake island, the Russians have no more ammunition and missiles"?! This was repeated with ammunition in the propaganda media for a year and a half, every month 10 times! And every time it was a lie! a few days before the fall of Bakhmut, "the Russians ran out of ammunition with only shovels"?! Further comment is redundant! So when they put this kind of propaganda into people's heads, for which it must be admitted that Goebbels and Hitler are little children from the amusement park, amateurs... People really believe in it, they believe in their own lies and propaganda. So they believed that the Russian army is actually "a bunch of stupid idiots, with outdated military equipment, and that they are actually below the level of rebels and mujahideen from the Middle East"?! And that the Leopard 2 will be a "game changer" even though in the recent past we witnessed that the rebels in Syria, without training in slippers, destroyed 8 pieces of Leopard 2A4 tanks in a few hours with the old Soviet ATGM systems... And that the Challenger 2 since its existence in 25 years has not participated, like any western tank, in any war, but in a series of low-intensity conflicts, against several tens of thousands of times of a weaker opponent with backward military equipment, without training, in slippers?! In 25 years, Challenger 2 participated in only one minor operation in Basra, and nowhere else! But that's what happens when you believe your propaganda about "game changers" Leo 2, Challenger 2, Abrams, PZH-2000, Cesar, Himars... These can be "game changers" against the Taliban, ignorant, untrained poorly armed civilians, or rebels... Not against a serious army. The proof is that the Ukrainians are returning with T-72 and T-64 tanks, and old Russian towed and self-propelled howitzers... But the problem of the West, or better said the US boss, is that it never had the balls to wage war against its own equals, but against backward small countries of the third world, for the sake of colonial influence and occupation of those countries and theft of its resources...
I understand that he lies a little bit, it's war, propaganda always exists... But this goes beyond common sense! Because there are few in the West, so that lie can pass with most of the truth... But outside of common sense, the Western mainstream media lie about everything, they even invent fairy tales! But in the case of the IFV Bradley, tanks Leo2A 6, Challenger 2, PZH-2000, M-777, Himars...Propaganda and lies, in the case of Ukraine, are hitting the heads of the bosses in Washington! And that lie and propaganda is rejected on their heads and Ukraine really "wins"!
хорошо сказал
Всем привет.Почитал комментарии и доволен тем что есть много здравомыслящих людей понимающих то что западная пропаганда поглотила умы миллионов людей.
Russians do not lie. And they look really strong against a 40 million people underequipped opponent.
One logical problem with that argument: your numbers don't add up - there have been thousands of Russian tanks destroyed, and only a handful of Leopards destroyed (the Russians only claim 16, and as usual they inflate their figures). The problem with war is that it's very hard to get good info, and people post their opinions all the time. The only site I know that actually posts information on destroyed military equipment in Ukraine is the Oryxspionkop site, and they back up every single post with photographic evidence. That doesn't mean they have pictures of every destroyed item of equipment (so the real numbers are probably higher on both sides), but they do have actual evidence, so I find them far more believable than statements from either the Russians or the Ukrainians.
@@zedhexOryx has been proven to be BS and biased counting same tanks multiple times, so far Russia had been proven to have lost around 1k tanks and this is from multiple sources including the israelis intelligence.
Let's see how the UKs challenger 2 tankshold out, or not in this case..
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
They will burn
Russia already destroyed the British tanks in a warehouse along with their uranium shells.
@@OlegUshyarov I suspect something has happened to the Challengers - only one has been seen and some are said to be in repair shops in Poland
@@trevortrevortsr2 they (challenger tanks) were all blown up along with their ammo in a Ukrainian storage facility.
Zelenskyy was hoping to put those A1 Abrams. and Bradleys on the black market.
Any tank is only as good as the infantry and tactics that support it.
leopards and Bradleys columns cant even reach the first line of Russian defense ROFL
it is hard to have a strategy for war with Russia if one is only an actor directed from US....
Almost like it's a bad idea to send armor with no air cover or air defenses whatsoever. Who would've thought...
no infos on effectiveness of the advanced crew potection in leopard tanks? did more or less tank crew members survive in them compared to soviet tanks?
Interviews with Ukrainian crews say that they have mostly escaped unharmed, so they appreciate the Western tanks
Decimation of NATO armor (the great Zaporizhian turkey shoot) forever destroyed the myth of superiority of Western weapons.
Abrams is next for Russians to make an example of.
And challengers
In those situations it won’t matter if you had the best tank ever lol Russia is heavily dug in nobody thinks it was gonna be easy except orcs 😂how’s that 3day invasion going comrade ?
@@Ninjersey1 3 day? That was lgbtq Milly who said that
how much mbt they have from west yet??? 10 or so? lololol..i think with all that orc garbage postet about it.. its doing well oll
@@Ninjersey1 for that u earn real footage of a leo2a6! google--- > leopard-2a6-survives-back-to-back-atgm-strike
Place slat wood armour barriers around armour combat vehicles to defend aganist drones and anti armour projectiles.
What matter is, the crews survived. I'd rather ride western tank any day 24/7 than Russian's walking barbecue tank.
The ukrainians are tough and don't get PTSD. Keep dreaming
@AbjeetThakur You forget we are fighting to the last ukranien. We give him another tank
@@SeymourCrwhat makes the Ukrainians so tough?
Nazis sanding poor peasants into battle they have no chance surviving!
I actually like your channel,You are the first Western non bias channel I have come across
Totally...it's almost shocking at first. He's damn good at being objective.
Leopard 2 was designed to be a hull down tank meant to defeat T series of tanks behind a crest at the Fulda Gap.
Whoever made the decision to send them to Ukraine really doesn’t know military doctrine and weapon designs.
In fact you should be using more T series against T series if you are smart enough. They are perfect for the open grounds of Ukraine
Excepcional report. Thanks
Slovakia : I wish a lot of success to soldiers of Russian Federation .
Repeat the trip of your compatriot, who has now returned from Russia, saying that he had not experienced such barbarism.
@@alexanderbackovsky3540 Slovakia : He was a spy from an anemy country who illegally and comically entered Russian soil .
Agreed but against NATO war mongers they're the one who prolonged this sad war..us Slavic people should be brothers not kill each other
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.
@@JohnS916 How do you "jam" IR guided missiles (except flares are used)?
Ukrainians are running out of people.
Wishful thinking is a wonderful thing. It allows you to avoid reality.
This conflict could go on for decades?!... who will be the winner? 🇺🇦🇷🇺
MBT se tornarão no futuro uma arma de nicho muito limitado assim como o xm-25 punisher...
Except that it wasnt defeated? Ukraine has gained more ground in a month than Russia has in a year..
cope
Lmao drink more of that copium
You're such a sheep my friend 😂😂😂
@@majorian4897cOpE 🥴
This war has brought the obsolescence of tanks, APCs, jets, and helicopters into stark relief. The missiles, artillery, drones, and plain old infantrymen are the real performers today.
The world has changed. The Chinese military recognized this in their book: "Unrestricted Warfare." Now an inexpensive, flimsy drone, lunched by a rubber band can destroy an expensive tank.
As a Cold War veteran stationed in Germany and even took missions across the border of East Germany, I am now retired in Asia. I remember we were briefed NATO basically had a 14-day life span once the Russians came across the border in an all-out war. Ukraine doesn't stand a chance!
You mean 14 years, ukraine is resisting for more that 550 days with nato old leftovers
@@doofyler I said an "All Out" war. This is a small-scale proxy war on historical standards.
@@hkrainman oh? So Russia canteen win a small proxy war? That's really the lamest army in ukraine. And they brag about NATO, but can't win against the 25th world army with a dozen of himars
@@doofyler It's not about winning, it's about getting Ukraine and nato countries to honor minsk agreement. This 25 th Army has the entire NATO Financial logistic and most advanced weaponry support. We are in an era 5th Generation warfare - meaning 95% of the battlefield is In your mind.
@@hkrainman let russia first honour the Bidapest mémorandum, the russian-ukrainian border treaty signed by Putin in 2003, and also the points 9,10 and 12 from Minsk II agreement that Russia blocked: restoration of full ukrainian control of borders with russia, pull out of all foreign pfighters and equipment from Donbass, local elections according to OSCE standard in Donbass
"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!
After this they probably won’t arrive there 😂
Yes some Leopard Tanks are destroyed but now the big question where is the best Russian Tank the Armarta or what happened with the T90 ???
Its not what about Russia missiles that render Ukraine tanks vulnerable,,,,its what about Russian missiles that render Ukraine Tanks "USELESS" !!
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.
It wasn’t only a defeat for the leopards 2 but for the whole German military industry
if that is the case noone would ever buy a russian tank in the first place
@@MrRoyalbeersrussian tanks were built to be somewhat expendable, while germans went full quality over quantity. It can be seen even as early as ww2
@@sheevpalpatine7588 they are all expendable. Russian tanks just includes crew.
@@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
Great analysis
Tanks do not work alone! They are still very important weapon. Highly deadly!
Wow, an honest, objective analysis.
