What is the Leopard 2 Tanks the Germany is Sending Kyiv 

More likely to be Tank versus Russian and Allies Artillery, Missiles, Drones. .

Mass Production > Quality

@@notarmchairhistorian7779 I see no mass production of T90s.

There won't be enough western tanks to make a real difference. Although it will be good to see them do what they were designed for - kill soviet tanks.

@@RandomGuy9 the russians only have t-90s? 🤨

And they'll say its a beast and the Taliban often didn't bother turning up when they spotted one?

Roof instead of Rurf 1:49 Top of the Rurf 😖

Yes, I keep hoping for a metric conversion graphic...it's just not that hard, just lazy to leave it out, for their viewers.

hahahaha the best of the best, you're joking right?

@@waswe4204 You're American, so you're joking right? The Ukrainians asked for Leopards, and it wasn't until the Americans were shamed into donating a handful that the deal went through. They'll be very happy with the Leopards they wanted, and oh yeah, I'm sure they'll like the M1s and the handful of Challengers as well.

@@R.U.1.2. Me American - cant stand the nation- bloated, egotistic loud mouths. Their equipment is junk.

@@waswe4204 yeZzzzz .

Every country in the world except muricans use metric!!!!

Yes, the Leopard 1a1 to 1a4 have the flat front turret, and the later generations (a5, a6, and a7+) have the (mounted) angled front turret, which makes a huge difference in terms of ricochet and armourment

Think, Mark! Think!

Using a tank as the lead charge in a battle maneuver --- like what's seen on footage from WW1 and WWII, in 2023 ---- is like using an aircraft carrier (with jets on it, too, of course) as the lead. It makes zero sense. If an aircraft carrier didn't have 10 to 15 other specialized ships surrounding it, including a nuclear sub, all moving as a formation, with the $15B carrier securely in the middle, it'd be sunk without any problem by most nations around the world. (That, BTW, was how the lone giant, 72K ton Yamato was sunk: it's on its own more or less in the open Pacific ocean, with hundreds of American boats, ships, fighter planes, and intel everywhere.) Anyway, a tank is supposed to work more or less like an aircraft carrier, in a more localized environment, of course. A tank should be surrounded by other tanks, supporting vehicles, and plenty of foot soldiers (carried by fast, light armored vehicles). Up in the air, the terrain a unit of tanks driving into should also have air cover...

@@kiabtoomlauj6249 Total agree with you, everyone says that "the Leo will not survive that long, like in Afghanistan or wherever it was" But that was because of bad crews and tactics. You can't just put a novice rider on the fastest horse in the race. Because of that, it will only depend on the Ukrainian army and their tactics, plans, crews and more. No tank is invincible, but the crew can almost make it invincible.

How can a sensor detects Kornets at 5-8 km away ? They're sitting ducks.Even those mighty Merkavas have fallen to Kornets

Modern tanks, including the Leopard 2A7+, are using active protection (here Israeli Trophy System). That massively increases the survivability

The Leopard 2's Turkey is/was using are also of older model, as can be seen by the lack of additional V-shaped armor addons for the turret. As far as I recall Turkey was denied more modern upgrade packages for their Leo's due to their ongoing conflict with the Kurds that were / are seen as allies vs the IS aswell as some other concerns. So TL:DR the L2's Turkey used in that conflict are far away from the L2A6 Variant that Germany agreed to sent to Ukraine.

Maybe for an tank on tank exercise?

Yeah, the German Army is upgrading their Leopards currently to the A7V standard, an improved version of the A7 xD

and were operated by idiots

I have no illusions that Leos be it 2A4 or 2A6 will be lost in Ukraine. No machine is invincible or undetectable. However begin in a Leo 2 gives a much better chance then being in a pickup or an old T55 like the M55. Any additional Leo gives Ukraine a slightly better chance to survive.

@@norbertblackrain2379 For sure, especially if they get hit from the sides or rear. The A6 variant though should be a very tough nut from the front.

Main killer of tanks on the Ukrainian battlefield isn’t other tanks or atgms, it’s arty….. upgraded side, back or front armor won’t help.

@@michiganmarv1860 Thats with a direct hit,and if you keep moving you are hard to hit thats what manuever warfare is and in combined arms you will have artillery,infantry,ifv and air defence support Without this support you are a sitting duck regardless

🤡🤡🤡

Need more aviation and less clowns

Its combined warfare with troops, NLAWs, Drones, IFV and MBT in combat groups. They will not go alone.

Actually no, the newer leopards have outward looking ammo/fuel supply so they dont burn out so quickly

@@Jonas-uh7bb they are shipping A4, not the new leopards.

@@vemaraju germany is sending the 2a6

The Russian using their tanks wrong, T-series aren't that bad. 😬

U mean the russian Tanks Yea ☺️ or is the russian propaganda kicking to Hard?

Germany already has sent some of its Biber bridgelayers months ago. So in some cases the problem already is solved.

Nobody thought of this before, thank you, Mark. I will call the respective people in charge and show them your comment. You saved us all.

@@KBKriechbaum it was thought If before like you suggest. And the conclusion was, that it will be a huge problem. So he did good to ask this.

Even if a bridge is rated to certain load it can be overloaded much more, rated load ia continied load once or a couple of passes dont matter. one by one and slow.

How deep are the rivers in the Ukraine typically?

It totally depends on how they will be working together with other war machines, like Troup transporters, faster, but smaller tanks... But I think (if we talk about Ukraine) they will survive a lot of fights against the Russian T 72s, but we will see... My guess is: at least 1-2 months in every day combat

against KORNET-M less then 6 weeks id say plus there all stripped and are a gun and shell its that bad arbrams has no targeting system lool there ripping everything out off them because there certain tec that they dont want falling into russias hands lool might as well send them some tescos plastic bags and say hey ukraine we have some new helmets for ya loool its that bad these youtube idiots thinking there getting the hole upgrade suite loool there getting no off it they only send HE rounds as well no smoke rounds or HHE rounds lool

14 days at the most, after first step in combat zone

@@domingodesantaclara1130 the challenger can only take this long shots because of its RIFLED gun, because of that, it can shoot up to 5 km away. So I think the challenger would do great in Ukraine, but the Leopard also, and I don't think that the challenger is really supirior to the Leopard. And we are talking about the Leopard, not the Callender 2...

@@domingodesantaclara1130 Yes, I understand what you are trying to say, but I think we can just figure out how we'll the Leopard will do by waiting, and hoping the best for it and the Ukrainian army. 💪

US and NATO ran out of Kabul begging Taliban for Mercy with such a speed which made Usain Bolt to BLUSH 😊 Taliban Happily accepted Billions worth Hardware abounded by US & NATO with glee! I like Goat shepherds riding in Humvee's!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chased out the Russians as well!!

@@swerwerindiewind7334 Yes. But with US and Paki help. US and NATO chased out by Taliban ALONE! REMEMBER KABUL AIRPORT SCENE & 9/11. Pathetic!🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

The Ukraine Defense Group consists of 50 countries. Russia, effectively is fighting against 50 countries. Yet it still controls most of eastern Ukraine. Underestimate Russia at your own peril.

@@lancecahill5486 Really? And how many soldiers has NATO lost in this war so far?

🤡 the Leopards will blast the shit out of the old russian trash my friend. Anyway russis is losing since months and the ukrainie dont useed western tanks for this time

A guy called Eric Bennett, he's a first cousin of Tony Bennet and he came second in the County Offaly Masters Tennis competition in 1989.

Whole not hole.

Surely it's time to change your underpants?

russians

🤡

the 300k, no question.

Artillery, missiles or drones.

@@michaelharvey75 the true answer

Correct

Its better than Russian piece of shit all days. Anyways xD

You'll have to learn English bro as all the interesting information online is in English.

Go to settings, subtitles, and hope that there are some in your language

@@callumbush1 , I learn English but I difficult understand speaking English

@@user-mg7bm6ex4l if he speaks too fast try slowing the video down a little

Lower down the speed

belonging to the front - yes it is!

@@sergejgleithmann7950 what the hell are you talking about?

? Its been in war. Turkey , etc. Use WIKI about deployment and services instead of look like a noob

Cope haha

abrams and leo 2 were developed together, so they are very similar. your comment is stupid.

The Leopard 2 A6 does have a longer barrel. This also means, that a projectile has more kinetic energy if shot with a Leopard 2 A6 than with an M1A2 Abrams.

​@@OpenGL4ever And the Leopard 2 consumes less fuel.

From what backwater country are you from? I have never read such effed up english in my life.

Your dad

Small country's are don't talk to much. You are slaves american dick. So don't under estimate russia. You all are give as old weapons. Already Germany weapon are failure syria war. Even isis can easily defeat. Right now biggest shame in future that tank's& Germany are face him.simply I warning you one button press whole european union will be vanish so be careful your each world should be measure written next comment. There is no doubt that whoever is pro-ukraine will fail in the end. Stay tuned.

The netherlands has no tanks! They are leasing from germany to train, but dont own a single one of them!

If you're German, you're paying for it.

Abrams will be in the war. The US announced, that 31 Abrams will be send to Ukraine

@@DU-km3bw gonna take a couple months to train and deliver they said, who knows the war could be over by then. You never know.

This war will last for years. No way this war is over this year, next year, or the year after that. Anyone who thinks that is delusional, and does not understand the conflict in the least. Training Ukraininans for a long term build up is what is happening. The dream of Russia taking over all of Ukraine is over, and is basically impossible at this point. The war has now moved to Ukraine liberating the rest of its stolen territory.

@@that207guy7 No chance the war is over by then. How you could possibly come to that conclusion, is beyond me. It's the difference between studying the conflict, and reading just the headlines.

@@itheuserfirst3186 I honestly don't care enough about this war anymore. Sounds to me like you care a little to much..

2a4 or better

2A5/6

They wont be able to afford fuel.

@@patienceobongo Do you think the pay for the fuel? The west provide all they want for free.

@@Sokrates66 thats because the West are morons. Nato shouldn't exist. The allies were the bad guys in ww2

Dont worry..... Palantir and US will provide a.i driven Intel and machine learning of the highest level there is

U mean without strategie like the russian troops did since the beginning? This fools with trash equip fighting like headless chicken they only can drop massiv bomb drops aka war crimes

I just want to see one after a thermobaric bomb explodes nearby. West is BS and hype.

What’s your number has to compare to the vantages the first is unless your crew size thanks for the order and the second is protection that means you actually have to hit it pretty hard unlike the leopard.

"No more brother wars" All the boys are getting excited at the prospect of Abrams, Leopard and Challenger tanks fighting against Russia. Third time jews have started a World War and these armchair generals are loving it while their own countries are being invaded by the 3rd world.

Russia started it.... and most of all will lose it. They will LOOSE everything. Eating porridge and drink vodka for next 100 years

@@Teknisk They started a war against Ukraine, not a worldwar. The loosers of the war is Ukraine and Europe, the winner is US.

Germany only started ww2 learn history correct 😘

@@costatitan8458 According to your knowledge who than declared war on 01-08-1944 against Russia, if not Wilhilm II.? Before that there was just a local war of Serbia and Austria.

They pay you Rubel for words/minute or ? xD what a long rubbish .

@@Teknisk Not everyone needs to be paid like you to be able to THINK. That is actually an activity of the brain, you know? No, you do not.

Dear arm chair general: Every posi9tive predcition about Russia's ability in this war has either not materialized, or has been proven to be woefully overestimated. The peopleon the ground know what they need, and they know what they're doing.

...wtf.

Not "the Americans", it's Joe Biden.

Okay vatnik. Supplying a defending democracy against an aggressive genocidal autocrat and yet let's blame USA for this mess loool

@@blackpowderuser373 ....no, because it was the Americans who pushed for this war...constantly for 20 years! here is the result! the American economy lives only through war, as soon as one war is over, another must be started! but now, after getting their ass kicked in Afghanistan, they have others do it, quietly settled on their continent and without risk, the americans are waging a proxy war with Ukrainian blood, without destruction on their soil, and by weakening Russia!.... They now sell American gas to the EU at three times the price of Russian gas, they also sell a lot of armaments, make loans to Ukraine to better control the country after the war (with money they don't even have since they have an abyssal debt!!), install troops in Europe to better to increase their political pressure on the European countries.....this is what America is. America is no longer a democracy, it's a tyranny....Americans take refuge behind pseudo values ​​when they themselves are incapable of respecting them.

@@blackpowderuser373 ...and stop telling us your bullshit about freedom and democracy! the USA has bombed a different country every two years on average since 1945....so go tell your lies elsewhere!....it seems to me that a few years ago it was Collin Powel, representing the USA who was waving a small bottle containing (supposedly) a chemical product, proof that the Iraqis had weapons of mass destruction! ... in reality it was false like everything else, the Americans had fabricated this false evidence to justify going to war against Iraq! the americans did not hesitate to lie, eye to eye, to thousands of diplomats gathered in the temple of the united nations! what indelible shame! ...we have seen what happened to this unjustified war, which is completely contrary to international law! we are still paying the consequences today! Has Bush been punished? no...nothing...nothing nothing nothing! he's still making big speeches and big smiles on television today, from his shitty ranch!...

imagine your granny been attacked by a bag-snatcher, you're beeing nearby. You would not give a hand, right? Just to prevent escalation - you sure are something...

@@sergejgleithmann7950 🤣 My government helped put the last two ukrainian presidents in power, we blew up their pipeline, we're sending weapons and unofficially sending men, we've stopped peace talks, "you sure are something"... YOU sure are hilarious. Go home kid. I'm just waiting for the first nukes to go off, because we're pushing for more war, and all of the western powers seem to be in for it.

@@fruckles your granny wouldn't be proud of you...

@@sergejgleithmann7950 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Maybe you just need to study more. I wonder if Russia hit those biolabs we have in Ukraine yet... because China isn't the only place america is hiding their biological weapons studies. I mean, "gain of function" to help preemptively make vaccines that seem to usually go bad. ☕🤔🇺🇸

No, it's self defense, which is exactly what we should be doing. I can tell you have zero understanding of this conflict, but if you did, you would still play dumb.
