Mines and drones have accounted for most of the roughly 13 German-made Leopard 2s the Ukrainian army so far has lost, out of 71 it so far has received from its foreign allies.
But it apparently wasn’t mines, drones and artillery that immobilized then destroyed that Leopard 2A6 outside of Avdiivka apparently last week. As Vova watched through the camera of his hovering drone, a projectile lanced into the side of the 2000s-vintage tank, which has thicker armor and a longer, more powerful gun than older Leopard 2 variants have.
“I think the tank was hit by an RPG,” Vova mused on his radio channel. An RPG is a handheld rocket-propelled grenade: a weapon you have to get close to use. The best modern RPGs, with tandem warheads, are just powerful enough to knock out a tank—if they hit at the right angle.
RPG都能干掉豹2A6,这坦克也不是那么牛
