Almost All Leopard-2 Tanks "Gone"; German Lawmaker Says Only A Few MBTs Supplied To Ukraine Operational
A prominent German lawmaker and key decision-maker in defense budget allocations, Sebastian Schäfer, has revealed that only a limited number of the modern Leopard 2 tanks supplied by Germany to Ukraine are currently operational.
The urgency of the matter was underscored by the lawmaker, who emphasized the need for swift action to reinforce the supply of spare parts.
Additionally, he pointed out that attempts by Ukrainian forces to conduct repairs have, in some instances, further exacerbated the damage to the Leopard tanks.
In proposing a solution, Schäfer suggested that Germany engage in discussions to provide additional training or instructions for Ukrainian mechanics.
Adding another layer to this predicament, representatives from the industrial repair shop in Lithuania disclosed to German media that the repair processes are protracted due to a pronounced scarcity of essential spare parts.
Meanwhile, as Ukraine confronts its second winter of the conflict, there has been a notable shift in the utilization of Leopard 2 tanks.
Instead of offensive maneuvers, these tanks are now employed defensively as long-range artillery.
In war, shit gets blown up. and when you start out with just a few good tanks, it wont be long till your down to just a couple good tanks. war sucks like that.
Germany only has the capability of producing two L-2s a month so resupply is not in the Uke's future.
LOL....If you're going to buy a used Leopard 2 you should only buy "used certified". Always have the warranty, you'll thank me later.
