Thanks Denys, Slava Ukraini 🇺🇲❤️🇺🇦
Denys is not Spanish, I believe it is French.
@@moisesgutierrez1423 Posted earlier by others, with translation... (why don't ppl check before posting?)
That is french subtitles
The subtitles kn the video, about the German tank ,is in French ! They explain how this tank is easy to drive, especially on this slipping roads .
Bonjour de France les amis and take care of you guys ✌😉👍🇫🇷
Slava Ukraïni, heroiam slava !🇺🇦
Special reminder for Denis. " circumstances leading to consequences "☝️😏😉
8:06 This is French, not Spanish. In English it says: "It is good to fight on this tank. It is very efficient. We've had combat missions before. But overall, this tank is maneuverable and predictable. It is very easy to drive with this tank, on the Russian side they lost a lot of fighters because of this tank."
I confirm : it's french ;)
Thank you for the translation.
Yep, it's french.
I would like to be the 3rd confirmation that this is indeed french
The French word for tank is "char." Seen quite a few Orc tanks that deserve that description.
You ar super Denys👍Long live Ukraine🍀❤👍
The Leopard 1A5 will do extremely well during the bad weather as Ukraine got right now. It can move when other tanks can't, or can see when russian tanks can't, and in bad weather enemy airpower and especially drones are less of a problem!
.... pure garbage ...
😂😂😂😂😂 good one
Greetings from Los Angeles, California, USA, Denys!!
I really thought Russia would take Avdiivka whit all those human waves attacks. Stil Ukraine standing strong, its amazing. ❤
More like meat waves, since to Putin his troops are expendable meat targets.
Only on your Masonic media NOT in the real world.
@@Rtg5637 Russia pulled its air-defense from Kalingrad. Is that saying enough? The only thing what russia have is meat. It’s a big disaster for russia this whole unnecessary war
@@Rtg5637 Yeah, Ivan. Stay in russian asZ for good.
@@marektallian6789 Ukraine zombie fans with low IQ always say that when they don't like the facts
They are French subtitles. I can translate if needed.
They basically said the tank is great because it allows them to target Russians at a longer range (3.5 to 5Km) than they can. The drive also says that although it's really muddy on the frontlines right now, he was driving farm equipement before the war and that tank is the easiest to drive under such conditions.
Lol I look back on the exact way Davydov was covering Arteomosk 5 months ago. It's heartbraking.
You are very professional when it comes to say Whats really going on in Ukrainian, great information.
Important to remember that it took the better part of three years from 1992-95 for American aid to put Croatia in a dominant position. When they tried a counterattack in 1993 it failed disastrously, but by 1995 they won easily.
It makes sense abrams and leo 1 have been paired together, leo1 with HE shells for infantry support role as its effectly an upgunned, uparmoured ifv with abrams to deal with any armoured threats since it doesnt have HE shells itself the abrams cant really used for much else.
Leo is light for a tank so its got a good chance to get over softer ground
When the 1A5 upgrade was made it was intended to go up against T-80 and T-72!
The first 1A5's were delivered in 1987 more than a decade after the first T-72's and T-80's arrived in active service!
As for the lack of armour as far as i know abrams/ challanger both had their classified armour removed so dont expect them to have armour ether
The one soldier in that clip (French subtitles) commented that he drove a tractor before the war and that made the Leopard easy to manage for him. Neat! Later, another soldier comments that they've already been in battle with the tank and that the Russians have suffered a lot of casualties as a result of his work. The narration comments that the tank can engage targets out to 3.5 to 5km.
... garbage ...
The subtitles are in French, saying that the tank is quite performant, and it already was in combat missions. It is very easy to drive.
Not Spanish subtitles, french ones. Contrarily to what you say,the soldier says that the leopard 1 is very modern, much better than what the enemy has, that it can fire between 3.5 to 5 kilometers, that it's tricky to drive in the snow, but he was a tractor driver before the war, and he manages.
He continues saying that it's very good to fight with this tank, it already had war missions, and destroyed many other tanks of the other side.
Also heard praise of the Leo 1 earlier, saying it is fast and has a good prescise gun. Like Denys says it is not the best armored, but it is way cheaper than more modern leo2, and also simpler to maintain. No tank wants to go head to head with other tanks, it is all about getting those first shots in on the enemy. With drones taking over the battlefield, being concealed becomes more and more important. Surely longer range and better accuracy can outweigh thicker armour. All tanks seem to go kaboom when hit from drones from above :-(
I'm an American and I understood about half of what I read. I guess it's harder for the Slavic people to understand our languages. So I give Denys credit for speaking English as well as he does.
Thanks. I'm an older guy in the US, it has been a long time since I studied French in ecole secondaire.
Yes, the 1A5 is greatly underappreciated, especially by Denys!
If used right it's an extremely capable weapon!
@@S9999Frank The design idea behind the Leopard 1 was that as modern antitank guns and ATGM's were too strong there was no point in building it to withstand those, instead, the focus was on mobility, speed, long-range precision, precision on the move.
Even still the Danish army did some live fire testing on one of their Leopard 1A5DK's while the engine was on and it was fully armed, how survivable it was even against the Leopard 2's 120mm gun surprised them a lot.
If the crews understand how to use them, they are extremely capable!
American tanks have a defensive profile. They're meant to start up an incline then drop their gun down to target the enemy. This means most of the tank is hidden behind the incline and is hard to target directly.
And the armor can protect against current Russian Rounds without the explosive component. Part Depleted Uranium and part it's ceramic/metal Composite. It not anything close to standard metal armor. US lost zero Abrams to T-72 fire in Iraq.
Your reference to the A10's is spot-on. Ukraine should be begging for the older A10's. They are easy to maintain and are awesome at ground troop support.
I like when people say the A10s won't work in Ukrain. the US is getting rid of them, why not give them to Ukraine instead of putting them in storage costing us money.
@@djbic7997 I think that's because pilots are more valuable than planes (from a rarity point of view).
@@djbic7997way to vulnerable for it to do gun/rocket runs
F16s can accurately hit targets outside of enemy anti air systems using glide bombs
Let me translate the french sub ''It is good to fight on this tank. It's very performant. We've already had combat missions. But in general, this tank is maneuverable and predictable. It's very easy to drive. With this tank, on the russian side, they lost a lot of fighters because of this tank.''

From time to time its important to imagine the scenario behind the descriptions that you hear here. Imagine what the soldiers on the ground are going through, how relentless it must be and the strength of spirit and of body it demands of them. My thoughts are with the Ukrainian soldiers and front-line workers, your struggles are appreciated by those of us in other democratic countries around the world.
West needs to step up, not back down. Ukraine is losing its people, the west is only losing $. The life of people is way more valuable than $
Nicely said and I do agree. Behind the reports its a lot of suffering. I do know as my father was in the WWII, and he was marked for life with all the horrors he experienced. Thank you for the remark.
@@WakeUpMate19 Completely agree. The former British defence secretary said Ukraine should thank the West for its weapons. No - the West should thank Ukraine for fighting on their behalf and losing lives in the process.
💯, we are in it this deep already and need to up the ante in supplies to keep them going, they have more than proved they are capable if they have the equipment considering the circumstances. 🤞 they will have wings by the spring which will help massively.

Thanks Denys. I share your opinion of politicians in general. They all have their own agendas. And yes they need to tell the military what they want and then let the military do it's job.
General Winter saved the Russians three times when on defensive of their own mother land. They are the aggressor now, I think general Winter changed sides. :)
Winter is always on the side of whoever's better prepared for winter. The Finns spanked and humiliated Russia in the Winter War.
To be fair, during the second world war, it wasn't the winter that stopped the Nazis, it was the millions of soviets, of all ethnicity, Russians and 'the Ukrainian Nazis' making up the biggest proportion that joined the red army.
the tank out ranges the enemy tanks so can still be effective
Great details Denis. Thank you, God Bless!
Hello Denys,
I'm a Brazilian military junior officer (lieutenant) and I work with Leopard 1A5BR, I would like to extend some comments about the tank that I believe most people wouldn't take into consideration.
In the Ukraine war, tank-on-tank combat is rare. Instead, tanks are mostly used to target infantry or armored vehicles from maximum range. In this context, optics and maneuverability are more important than armor. Tanks need to be able to target the enemy with good thermals/night vision and retreat quickly before the enemy artillery targets them back. The only disadvantage of the Leo 1 is its caliber (105mm), which has a smaller range than the 120mm or 125mm. However, given how poor most Russian optics are, it is unlikely that they are firing from farther than a well-modernized Leo 1 could reach. Since no tank can survive an artillery hit, armor is not as useful.
The Leo 1’s logistics tail is a blessing for the UA army generals. It is lightweight and easy to transport on UA infrastructure. It requires much less logistical support than any modern MBT. This is why we often see it working together with Abrams. By pairing up the tank that requires the least logistical support with the one that requires the most, the generals can optimize their logistics and improve their operational efficiency.
Also about that picture of the T-62 that looks like a T-90, that's not a thing, I bet my ass that's a photoshop, there are soo many wrong things with that picture that my best guess is that it's just a T-62 with photoshopped random shit in it.
P.S: Excuse my English.
P.S²: I'm not fighting in Ukraine, thus I could easily be wrong in judging the scenario.
@@truthadvocacy What's anti-Russian in my comment? it's mostly technical tanker stuff.
It's not plagiarized. Thank you for the compliment tho.
At 14.26 one rail track was washed away. Crazy that trains still run on the other track!
Thank you Denys. A new survey in Germany has shown that 66% are in favor of military support for Ukraine and 54% of them are in favor of this support serving the goal of liberating all Ukrainian territories. We continue to hold our ground on the information front.

Those SU-25 wing tips are airbrakes deployed. They also used on older models
22:00 that is the airbrake of the Su-25 and it *is* present on the regular ones too, you just don't see them used very often and it's not the strongest airbrake out there
The Su-25 does have airbrakes on the wingtips. It's been part of the design for a long time but they don't often open them.

I hear you. I am upset today hearing a report how Germany and the US want to pressure Ukraine into negotiations. I truly believe our government misrepresent the support sent by us by inflated values of equipment and the money staying in the US going to weapons manufacturers. I believe they are behind the stalemate by withholding necessary weapons needed to win and it is deeply disturbing

Of note, the Leopard 1 compares favorably to the M10 Booker, which is about to be delivered to the US Army. Booker is described by Army Officials as an Assault Gun to support infantry. Leopard 1 could and should fulfill a similar role in Ukrainian Service.

Yes, the 1A5's are unbelievably underappreciated not least by Denys! Though he seems to slowly change his mind, though extremely slowly. When more reports about them in action and videos. This process will get faster!
It's awesome that Ukraine gets so many 1A5's and they are going to prove a bigger help then most of the other tanks they have got, because of their capabilities but also because of the numbers they can get them in!
General Zaluzhny is Ukrainian version of Steiner...
@@mwtrolleI agree they can be provided in large numbers which the other tanks can't.
Imagine Ukraine with several hundred leopards.
I think that Bradley has not much better armour than Leopard 1, and you see that it can survive some hits, depending on from what and where.
The leopard 1 is a tank and the Bradley is a troop carrier so yes the armor would be different you genius.
@@usbroke4667sure the Bradley is a troop carrier but it's main purpose is to cover the infantry against other IFVs and even tanks. That is the same armor target which the leopard needed to fulfill at its time. The reason why the armor is so light is that missiles would destroy it anyways and tank VS tank combat is very rare. At the time armor was pretty much pointless against AT weapons.
The Leopard would be escorted by dedicated missile carriers with high performance ATGM. It was only in the late 80s that technology allowed armor to be effective again and therefore the Leopard 2 was designed with a different philosophy.
@@Squee7e not the same armor. Sorry…….
@@usbroke4667 You seem to be extra clever ... wow
@@Squee7eso then the armor IS different then!
That wasn’t a Raptor boat. Suchomimus covered it. He did a photo search and it’s an old picture.

Hello from the Netherlands.👋
❤ thanks Denys for everything 😊
"Put your tongue on your @$$" is one of the best quotes I've ever heard Denys!
Abrams tanks can fire shells from farther away and hit targets accurately.
They have good armor and are low to the ground. You would be surprised to learn of the advanced technology that comes along with an Abrams system.
*yea - it comes with Rambo 2.0 inside* 😁
I was going to say the same thing. They can fire on the move, fire way past their sight line using laser designators, their armor is designed to absorb impacts and burn away layers to absorb the heat from blasts, and they can drive over mines. They are an assault tank.
Denys was probably referencing the lack of depleted uranium armor that NATO partners can obtain. I am guessing top secret features are missing.
@@0HOLSTER lol exactly same things were said about all the game changers, that they were super duper and are able to do this, and do that, etc. and all of them ended up in the same way. All Western weapons come with tons of hype and at the end all bite the dust.

Geat reporting Dynes. You put a lot of work in thank you. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
A dyne is a measure of force. A Denys is a measure by which all vloggers are judged!
It isn't great reporting. It isn't true.
Ukraine has confirmed that they can't hold Russia from taking this city. It's done.
The situation in Avdiivka is still worrying (especially on the SE direction, where Russians are proceeding).
Regarding the Leopard 1A5, it isn't a bad tank. Ukraine will need to get some suitable tactics for its strengths and weakness (the excellent fire control can help it operate as an all-weather and night sniper, hitting other ground targets from a distance).
And its relatively light weight means that it can go where Leopard 2 and similar heavy MBTs cannot enter due to their weight. Heck, even a T-34 if it was the last tank on the battlefield, it would rule it. If Germans and Ukrainians have developed good tactics for such an agile tank, it remains to be seen.
Always supporting Ukraine in my thoughts and prayers.
... sure that makes all the difference ..

Thank you Denys!

Let me remind you that the greeting Glory to Ukraine is the greeting of the Union of Fascists of Ukraine. In the 30s, the fascists united with the nationalists of Ukraine and left this greeting in common. At this greeting, you need to throw out the hand of Sieg Heil.
Keep in mind that the Leopard 1 was made to withstand autocannon fire, so up to 30mm.
In the interest of fairness, i must also say that with high power rounds like APFSDS, a BMP-2 can penetrate a Leopard 1 from close range with it's autocannon
@Denys. The leo 1 are very agile and have a smaller visual footprint and better suited for the current frontline.... Leo1 was designed for frontline combat and pushing. Leo2,abrahms & challenger were designed as support tanks.... and frankly all of them should be used as support units in a 2023 healthy military doctrine... they are expensive and good, UA losing one is like ruzzia losing 10 of their t72s.
... garbage ...
Thanks!
Thanks as always for your hard work Denys SLAVA UKRAINI
@@bgarcia9920 spoken like a true slave of Ruzzia
David, if you want to talk about economy, sanctions, and such, I would recommend to you a Polish channel Kremlinka Show. I suspect you might understand some Polish, otherwise there are English subtitles at least on some of the videos. They are explaining why sanctions DO work, even if there is the shadow import. Things are difficult to get, and if they get them, the prices are much higher than if they would be coming in by normal, legal channels. So if someone says sanctions do not work, don't believe it. They do work. Of course, they could work better, but they certainly work
The Leopard 1s have 105mm gun (L7A3 or L7A4). This is good because it means more ammo can be available since it doesn't use the better, current 120mm NATO standard. A DM63 shell can kill older T-72s within 2km and do serious damage at range. Ukraine doesn't do a lot of Tank-Tank and the newer MBTs will be used for that. Leopard 1s are a great addition to the battlefield if used correctly, like sniping from the hills. And they require much less maintenance than the Leopard 2s, just ask any Canadian LEME (now RCEME).
yes, it's greatly un derestimated, not least by Denys!
The Leopard 🐆 1 has no thick armor, but this tank is more mobile, than every other tank in this war. Compare the weight of Leopard 🐆 1 and others. I'm think this tank will not so fast stuck into mud

Thank you, Denys, for another update!! You are the best
Ukraine stay strong. Glory to Ukraine and NATO. Hope Peace will come soon. May God bless all Ukrainians people.
Something to keep in mind: The Leopard 1 tank is a contemporary of the T-62 tank. No, it's not a match for the T-72, but given that Russia is using hundreds of T-62s in Ukraine and they've been pulling T-55s out of storage, too, the Leopard 1A5 tanks that Ukraine has now are certainly a match for THOSE tanks.
But I do agree with you that the older tanks are better used in a direct fire support role supporting infantry and IFVs rather than trying to tangle with other tanks.
Evaluating tanks by their build date can be quite misleading. First Leopard 1 were built in the 1960s, Leopard 1A5 happened as late as 1986-1992. Now, which is the older one? A T-72 built 1975 and collecting dust in some storage since 1980, or a Leopard 1 built 1967 and receiving upgrade after upgrade until 1992?
The 1A5 upgrade was made when the USSR had made the swap to T-80's and T-72's!
The first 1A5's were delivered in 1987 more than a decade after the first T-72's and T-80's arrived in active service!
@@mwtrolle Which means, a Leo 1A5 is as good as a T-80, right? I have no firm opinion about this. The only thing I'm sure about is that having a number of 1A5 is a lot better than not having them.
@@traumflug It is better to have LEO-1 than not to have any tank.
But not more. It has very thin armor and will suffer greatly from all types of weapons currently used in the conflict.
Your the best. Thanks for the update..... stay awesome bud!!!

Thanks Denys, take care
Good, and detailed update, thanks! Like your take on western media fears and opinions, and the hypocritical governments helping the orcs indirectly, more of that exposure please! Also think the same way about our politicians, as to me politician is just another dirty word. Your thought on A-10's does sound good and since our Air Force wants to retire them, that might not be such a distant idea, keep an ear on that one for a future support path. I for one will put a bug in my representatives' ear on that idea.
A10s can only work in an environment of air superiority.
Except in a very, VERY, small number of cases politicians have ZERO understanding of their military. They have no experience or training in strategy, tactics or logistics and do not appreciate the sacrifice of the military personnel they are trying to impact through deployments to hostile environments, combat operations or social experimentation. They put on a camouflage jacket, ride around in an armored vehicle, eat a meal at the field kitchen, hop a helicopter back to the airport to jump on a flight back to the capital region and then talk as if they graduated the War College. They disgust me.
Great news! Great updates! Much appreciated! Slava Ukraine ! Stay safe and have a peaceful day
Denys warfare tactics don’t put tanks vs tanks as it’s to costly put tanks vs infantry or light armored vehicles like trucks etc. it’s a punch through weapon on stagnant lines. Which is why it was invented in WWI. That’s why Patton was so effective in WW2 he studied Rommel and his tactics
Patton always had air superiority and numerical superriority. Rommel often was outnumbered in tanks and did not have superior air support. Plus America had superb logistics. Rommel was always short on everything. If Rommel had been in Pattons shows, the war would have been over end of 44
Patton
Well yes which is why Germany needed to win the Battle of Britain or it would lose the war Allied production massively larger. Still Patton showed he was brilliant a war of maneuver. @@Dilley_G45
More information has come out about Patton that a lot of his success was credited to the Americans when half the time it was their allies doing the heavy lifting, joining the war late then claiming total victory is such a crock of shit. Only hear about the glory of American servicemen know one knows that the japs lost momentum against a smaller force and nation like Australia. Australian army was hardly mentioned at all like most other nations fitting ww2 before America. Throwing the Japanese into the ocean without American help was the Japanese fist land defeat. in the war. @@milferdjones2573

Leopard 1 has good range, optics, precision and mobility. See first, shoot first, hit first was the idea. With a well trained crew it can for sure take on other tanks of its era. But tank on tank battle is very rare in this war. Not the best, but a good tank with the right tactics. Support from distance, use terrain and keep moving.

The Abrams tank armor is quite different than the armor of the other tanks you are comparing it to. The designers understood the capabilities of the potential opponents and designed light weight composite armor to counter it. They aren’t invulnerable, but a front on attack isn’t the way to destroy them.
Ukraine update 🎉
10:01 You completely missed the 1A5 can be used as a sniper or ambush tank. For that role, it's much better than any USSr/russian tanks! It also is extremely good if you need tanks to do flanking maneuvers.
Of course, if you use it to rush well-defended enemy positions head-on, then you are doing it wrong. But when it comes to value for the money this is far better than Leopard 2's, Challengers 2's, or Abrams. Also, it's lighter making it easier to transport on trucks or trains, and giving it the ability to pass bridges too weak for the other western MBT's to pass, also making it less likely to get stuck in the mud. Another advantage is that it is extremely easy to maintain.
As I told you from when they were first announced, you underestimate it greatly! Though I hear you have soften up a bit now. But those 1A5's are likely to prove far more important than Challenger 2's, unless the UK should decide to send them all, and compared to the Abrams unless they decide to send a lot more, anyway.
I can't wait for the first videos of them actually proving their potential to come out, I'm sure it will change most people's minds about them so that they respect them just as much as I do.
Most people here and Denys are civilians. They get their knowledge from the media and Video Games. They havent studied real life engagements and havent taken into consideration the differences of what environment, training, logistics and technology means for tank warfare and how they will perform. Fully agree on your points.
To clarify, that "Raptor boat" isn't a Raptor boat. You can tell by the nose of it that it's not flat like the Raptor. Suchomimus did a reverse image search on it too and debunked it, and found out that this photo is old and I believe it was said to be some kinda cargo vessel. I'm not exactly 100 % sure about the type of vessel, I would have to rewatch the video, but it's definitely an old picture. I would suggest anyone who is interested to check his channel out to get more info on it. His content is great. So yeah, it's a fake.. well, the picture is anyways. There could always be a case where it did happened and someone just used that as a picture.. who knows. The weather is super shitty, so I wouldn't doubt something like this might of happened and giving how shitty the weather is, I doubt anyone would try and get a picture of it. Who knows. 🤷♂️
I would argue that with the prevalence of Lancet and ATGM, that armour isn't going to save you anyway. The Leopard I was also made exactly with that kind of assumption in mind, that's why it has a paper thin armour but good gun and optic system.
Ideally, (and practically), you wouldn't be facing the enemy tanks in a push, or at least not in the position you would be in a tank duel. It's really not that important for you to be defeating T-72 1v1, you would never fight 1v1 but even then, it can beat the older Soviet tank under the right condition (i.e. when they were cut off from recon support, or during night battle)
the 1A5 can handle a T-72 well enough 1v1 if need be. As long as it lies in a camouflaged position and can chose when to engage and get the element of surprise, it also is extremely good for flanking maneuvers if need be. The armor is light but not paper thin, and actually, it has some advantages, it's strong enough that HE's most likely won't do that much damage while armor-penetrating projectiles can pass right through without doing much damage unless it hits critical parts. It's not that likely to get hit and it results in a jack-in-a-box effect as we see with USSr tanks, the danish army did live-fire testing of it, fully fueled and armed and it took much more punishment than anyone expected.
@@mwtrolle Yeah, that's true. I used the term "paper thin" but that's mostly in the context of the modern tank. It's still a full on tank armour, not like a light tank or a tank destroyers that could be destroyed by an IFV cannon to the face. But it's also not going to survive anything designed with anti-tank in mind. It's probably vulnerable to even the old RPG-7.
Which again, is the design choice of the era when you don't expect to survive a direct hit anyway (which is also the rule of the game today, so long as the crews survive, that's all that matters)
@mwtrolle The snowy conditions with cloud cover and snow drifts might also favor a Leo1 crew over T72. Especially since Russian tankers are mostly new draftees whilst Ukrainian crews received at least several weeks hands on training.
@@ernst624 New recruits?
There was one mobilization in the Russian Federation a year ago. And they trained at the training grounds for at least six months. This does not take into account the fact that in the Russian Federation they received military service and basic skills earlier, when they served for a year or two.
If it had been mostly stupid recruits, the Ukrainian offensive would have been at least half successful.
The M1A2 Abrams armor is a composite armor composed of a classified steel alloy and spaced ceramic tiles called Chobham (after the the town in England where it was developed), the same armor that is on the Challenger II. It offers superior protection against HEAT rounds and shape charges, and completely shatters kinetic penetration sabot rounds, so really it wouldn't even feel anything any Russian tank which would shoot at it, IF whatever a Russian tank shot at it could get past the Trophy system. The Russians are lucky we took off the depleted uranium insert kit, apparently Biden doesn't want to give Ukraine what needs to win, just what they need for stalemate.
Those Leopard 1A5 is not a bad tank. It has modern systems and a good gun. This variant was intended to be a mid-point before Leopard 2's arrived. They can likely handle any T72 variant.
Actually, I even think you underestimate them.

A Big Thank you from those of us who watch your updates every day. Glory to Ukraine, Democracy, and the Heroes of the War against Autocracy.
This is probably democracy in Russia, since there are elections there, and the opposition media were not closed there before the war, as they did in Ukraine. And there will be no elections in Ukraine.
Snow you say ? Well if it’s deep enough…. would soldiers with snow shoes or skies be able to cross the battlefield ABOVE the minefields and assault the Russian enemy’s trenches?
Yes but the armor still couldn't follow them. It's not the way it works in war. Everything has to advance together or things will fall apart.
Subtitles are French, not Spanish. Anyway, it's very good news. Leopard 1A5 are indeed very old and may not be sufficient by themselves. Also the cannon is not superior to the newer Russian models, but as a back-up and assistant to Abrams or Leo 2, the Leo 1 can be a valuable asset by adding some mass to an offensive. Also Leo 1 is said to have decent maneuvering capabilities.
Even you under estimate the Leopard 1A5!

Greetings from Romania.I want to express my gratitude and my sympathy for your work and I want to say I'm amazed how much your english has improved in this almost 2 years of war.This is the only channel I've followed constantly and every morning when I drink my coffe,before going to work, I begin the day with your videos.I know that it's not very much support from Romania,and we still have a lot of commies, but I really hope Ukraine will win.

Liar, liar, pants on fire. This guy is a Zelensky shill. Keeps lying about the non-existent Ukrainian success. He lied about Bakhmut which is no longer Ukrainian, and he will continue lying about Avdeevka which is about to fall also. Funny how he doesn't mention the failed Ukrainian counter offensive....
Many thanks to you, Denys, for all the work spent on keeping us posted on a daily basis. You're doing an excellent job, highly appreciated!

Denys thank you for great update🙏🙏🙏
Slava Ukraini, from România!
T72s in videos I've seen have been having difficulty landing hits even at close range. A well-fought Leopard 1 could do well, but yes they have to have some sort of infantry screening or work in coordination with more modern tanks.
Tank alone is soon sad tank.
Agreed. I suspect that it has a lot more to do with the Russians lack of proper training than any flaws in the T-72 design.
The Leopard 1 was never designed as an offensive breakthough tank. It was a cold war tank designed round mobility and speed (inc speed backwards) rather than armour to help protect Germany from invasion by massed Soviet armour. Basically fire a few shots, retreat to next position, repeat. Its L7 105mm gun and lack of armour means it is outclassed in head on Tank on Tank fights but esp if updated with night fighting equipment and used as per design intention its a really handy support vehicle esp for Infantry formations on the defensive. Which actually seems to be the main use of Tanks on the modern Ukraine battlefield dominated by artillery and drones. Also being a lot lighter it can go across bridges and in other places wear modern MBT like the Abrams can not go.
@@stuartbailey9287 the Leo1 design can be either defensive or offensive. At the time, before Chobham armor, missiles like TOW made any practical thickness of RHA steel useless against those missiles and some new tank rounds like APFSDS. By minimizing armor weight you bought better gas mileage and higher mobility. Movement speed and ability to cross smaller bridges has its own protective qualities. That means you can't run it into enemy defenses in a poorly planned frontal attack, but it's still useful. The A5 variant has a good gun, good stabilization, and good targeting electronics. It is useful in any role even if it's not the best tank out there.
Yes. Tanks alone have been vulnerable since the very first tanks hit the battlefields in WWi.@@juhajuntunen7866
