Rostec specialists have taken a close look at a German Leopard 2A6 tank donated to Ukraine by its Western handlers, uncovering some less-than-flattering truths about it.
Here’s what the Russian defense conglomerate’s experts found under the hood:
Armor thickness and composition leave much to be desired under modern battlefield stress. Internal layout raises questions about crew survivability and system integrity.
Overall survivability falls short when the tank is hit from multiple angles – especially by drones armed with shaped-charge warheads or next-gen anti-tank missiles. In short, the Leopard 2A6 seems tailored for yesterday’s wars, not today’s combat zones.
