This come to mind:

That's a great movie, but Leopards are anything but junk.

UK estimates over 300,000 "russian" military casualties I Moscow : "Alaska is ours again"

guys, do you understand how MUCH DO MUSCOVITES WANT TO BEAT US IN UKRAINE ? HOW MUCH DO THEY WANT to destroy this beautiful European country ! There is the only one solution : https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/uk-estimates-over-300000-russian-military-casualties/ RELATED ...

Why are Moscow tanks better then NATO tanks?
1) Its because the ammunition is stored on a carousel around the gunner therefore providing him with extra protection.
2) The other reason is when hit the tanks safty protocal kicks in and ejects the gunner with the turrent to saftey.

If the Germans could just reach the sweet spot between under engineered & over engineered they'd be in business. Germany has/had a history of engineering quality for sure, just like Americans have a history of QUALITY RESTORATION(see vid below)!!! All that quality engineering & THEN they used SPUR GEARS INSTEAD OF HERRING BONE MACHINED TEETH ON THE THREE FINAL DRIVE GEARS!!!!!!! Those phony non steel fuel lines were fantastic for engine fires too!

1) Torsion suspension like SUPER TRICK!''

2" 100% fabricated turret from scratch & fits perfect!

Check out the vid!

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.

a pity …

I remember when Republicans used to be opposed to Russian Aggression.

Ronald Reagan must be turning in his grave.

The Cold War ended long ago. Live in the now.

I really wish you would take the time learn things before making stupid posts. There is an old saying that fits you very well: “its better to be quiet and thought to be a fool rather than open your mouth and prove it”.

Weight has nothing to do with ground pressure. Ground pressure is determined by weight divided by surface contact area. I’ve personally seen M-60 tanks drive right over mud that I would sink up to my ankles in. M-60s and Abrams have about the same ground pressure.

No tank or armored vehicle has heavy armor on the overhead, that’s why missiles like Javelin are designed for top attack, to avoid having to blast through heavily armored frontal or side armor.

The Strv-122 is essentially a Leopard 2A5 with minor changes to the hatches and different electronics.

This in the Ukraine is NOT "Russian Aggression".

Again, the Ukraine is historically THE origin of Russia.
Kyiv used to be the capital of Russia.
It only moved to Moscow to avoid the Mongol invasion.

The current inhabitants of the western half of the Ukraine are NOT natives.
They are the descendants of the defeated Polish invasion of around 1600.
They promised to behave.
They lied after Obama bribed them to conduct an illegal coup in 2014.

Again, since the Ukraine is INSIDE the Russian defense grid, Russia can never allow the Ukraine to violate its treaties by "joining an alliance hostile to Russia".
If Russia allowed the Ukraine to join NATO, then the US would install a first strike capability that Russia could not defend against.
So before Russia could allow the Ukraine join NATO, they would have to nuke the US in a pre-emptive strike.

That is all true.

But,
the M-60 has a ground pressure of about 10 lbs/sq inch.
the M1A2 has a ground pressure of about 15 lbs/sq inch.
the UK's Scimitar/Scorpion have a ground pressure of just 5psi.
the Leopart 2 has a ground pressure of about 11 lbs/sq inch.
the T-90 has a ground pressure of about 13 lbs/sq inch.

Since the M1A2 also has essentially a jet turbine engine, is also have a horrible heat signature that gives it position away.

a Mongol - Muscovite myth-pro Moscow imperialistic propaganda

the reality :

Theft of millennia: how Muscovy rebranded itself as 'Russia' I VIDEO

FINALLY !!! :thup: PS Ugandas dictator Idi Amin was also known as "the last king of Scotland", there was even a movie with that name in the 2000s.... Addressing additional arguments: 👉 But Muscovite Rulers were of the same dynasty as Russian Rulers - House of Rurik? ❓ 1. This logic...

Wrong

Ukraine was sovereign and the Russian invasion is in fact hostile aggression

There isno alliance hostile to russia. If Ukraien joined NATO it would not result in any such first strike capability

Russia would be destroeyd affter such a pre emotive strike as it has no capability to survive a nuclear war
