Ukraine is to receive over 80 Leopard 2 MBTs from Europe, enough to form an entire Tank Brigade. Will these tanks be enough to help Ukraine for its Spring counteroffensive?

13:25 Good shout out to Brian at The New Atlas. He just released his video on the Leopard 2s being sent, and is pretty much in agreement with what you said.
Thank you and Hello from Poland.. in the U.S. there are SO many uneducated people that have NO clue.. if you say anything that deals with reality with Ukraine.. they call you a Russian Bot. There are too many dumb people.. this war is gonna be a disater.. pray for a resolution.
With superior machines, fire power and technology Russia has destroyed everything encountered on the battle field.
once on Ukrainian soil, Tigers fought against us, now again German tanks, but already Leopards (. Is this the Third World War?
Russian war history is all about leader fucck ups and the peasants saving the day with cheap but effective counter measures. Exactly what is going on in his war. West sends it's superioir weapons russian troops on ground simply absorb new tactics. But it comes with lot of dead bodies and i believe Putin don't care about casuality right now
Yeah this is going to happen, like who's training these guys to use western tanks?
Fools why are they trying another fool i love Real Germany not nato controled Germany
Ukraine doesn't needs help like this it is a country which doesn't should even exist.
This guy always talks on and on about Western media. But is silent on Russian propaganda. Hell, he even parrots it with false claims.
Regarding the question of the effects of artillery against modern tanks, it's been tested. The US Army did tests of 155mm vs. M1s in the 80s. A 155mm that merely lands in close proximity is capable of penetrating the side armour and disabling the tank. Direct hits can destroy them. Almost all of the improvement in armour that has happened in successive tank models since the 80s have been to frontal armour. Tracks were off course frequently disabled or destroyed.
The tite of this video is kinda klikbate. I would have still kliked on it if it said "German tanks will once again role on ukraine" or something like that
the leopards sure are a gift to ukraine logistical problems apart ukraine need armor even if its just to cycle with theyr current one while some tanks are in the front the rest are repairing or something like that idk, but ukraine needs them, as for how they will fare agaisnt russian armour and the possibility of being overwhelmed as long as the area is scouted and they know roughly how many there are i think it wont be much of a problem, the germans also where overwhelmed when the allies invaded, and yet a single tiger would run out of ammo before dying, ofc the russian tanks arent that bad, but they are nowhere near the leopards, wioth proper infantry support with atgms, and proper air coverage these leopards will absolutely destroy the russians.
We all assume that the Western tanks will be commanded by Ukrainian troops previously trained in NATO countries, but what if they are not?
I fear that the crew will be made up of NATO "volunteers".
NATO is a great liar.
For everyone who, somehow, still believes Russia will win: the invasion of Czechoslovakia lasted 1 Day. The War in Georgia lasted 16 days. Russia used good strategies and some of their best stuff against Ukraine in the first Day of the "3-day Special Operation". It was supposed to last 3 days. In the West no one thought Ukraine would last more than a week….it's going to be 1 year since the invasion started and Russia has lost most of the territories gained. How Is that winning? At least be like China and stop caring about Putin and his Russia.
Ukraine is problem…Always was problem
In Warsaw we have milions of young ukrainaians which dont want fight…this is reason, real reason of fallen Ukraine.
I still wish a lot of these people would bring up Azov and Right Sector and their actions back in 2014, a lot of people use the phrase "unprovoked" when referring to Russia in this conflict.
Time to see all of you look stupid
Ukraine will definitely have a hard time maintaining these western tanks. But considering they’re fighting the russians, who struggle to maintain their own tanks, they shouldn’t fair too bad.
Sure they ain’t no wonder Weapons but way wetter than anything Ukraine had before. They will surely have their impact, even though it won’t be war changing
Oi dude, are you going to analyze the mission "Avanti Savoia"(the italian campaign) from Battlefield 1?
The same for the F16, ukrainian pilots are already on training in usa
To be fair, Turks used their Leos like Russia used his tanks on Chechenia and Ukraine…
…and that's aren't the way tanks could be used
🔴 Ukrainians are drilled and trained never to throw Leopard 2 into battle alone but always in combination with Marder/Bradley IFV and their accompanying infantry. (grenadiers) . It can be assumed that at least one Gepard SPAAG will be there to protect against reconnaissance drones. The background is also the better optics and night-fighting ability of western tanks
Leopard tanks won't do shit
Carenada is a very disgusting trait
They may not be a wunderwaffen, however they are sure as hell better than a coldwar era T64…the issue is training and logistics for the vehicles, also usability…those tanks are expensive and should be used as such when being handed to them such as the Abrams. I don't think they will be operational for sometime until some training is done
Bakhmut is still holding 8 months in the siege and its still under Ukrainian control! And really its not like it holds any value….
theres no winner – stop that war !
Consensus of this video is the message that there is no point in supporting Ukrainians with arms because they are not able to master these weapons on the battlefield. Ukrainian soldiers have proven to master complex devices, for example PzH 2000 or IRIS-T. if ukrainians are so incompetent why russia still struggling subduing this country why are so many russian soldiers kIA in this country?
Jesus Loves You
I'm no expert , but my understanding no advanced tanks will be sent from anyone in Nato , USA included. Because they know they will either be destroyed or captured giving away what ever technical advantage they currently have in possible future conflicts.
History will remembered that Germany worked as a fuel ⛽️ on a fire against Russians
Your comparison of Ukrainians to nazis is (at best) in bad taste and is disgustingly morbid.
(fyi i don't like it when people do this to russians either)
сто тридцать тысяч трупов русских удобряют поля Украины. Москвичи вытаскивают танки из музеев и призывников из тюрем. Путин настолько болен, что обосрался. Российская армия не может взять маленькую деревню в соседней стране, а грозит войной с НАТО, смешно потому, что так смешно. В российской армии нет ни еды, ни теплой зимней одежды, ни боеприпасов. профессиональные войска погибли в первые месяцы войны. сейчас просто пьяные срочники без подготовки. мародеров, насильников и трусов, Владимир Владимирович! принесите нашим HIMARS еще немного еды! Теперь Россия дружит с Северной Кореей и Ираном! На самом деле, в Иране есть молодые девушки, которые борются за свою свободу и настоящую Демократию, они рискуют своими жизнями, потому что знают, что они и есть те перемены, которые они хотят видеть в своей стране! Русские люди раболепны и ухожены. они предпочли бы умереть на чужом поле, хотя самая большая их битва была дома, за будущее России. Русские не будут бороться за лучшее завтра, потому что они глотают пропаганду, как свиньи едят молодую кукурузу. Москали! поедешь на украину, не вернешься, другой воспитает твоих детей и ляжет с твоей женой.”
When will you upload again god damn it, I'm waiting
Roughly half of everything the NATO axis sends will be turned into scrap metal. That which is not is because sold off. Media says one thing while UN datbase on materials lost in war/conflict says another.
Produce some tiger 2s those things ripped apart almost all of the t35s in Kursk and had Stalin crying to Eisenhower for money because the tigers and panthers ripped apart so many , even though Germany was outnumbered 5-1 Stalin couldn’t beat them without Americas help
no to nazi expansion, but yes to nato expansion ?
people are still wondering if this nazi apologizer is "pro-ukrainian"….
Good work mate 👍❤️
Former closest (or same) nations fighting right now and everybody just encourage them and laughing when they kill each other. Stuipidest move ever from Russians and Ukrainians side.
This guys is talking about something he knows nothing about
Shut up bozo. Spam me with nerd emojis only after your read this lol.
All the millitary bloggers on this platform seem to think that western tanks will be a nightmare for logistics. Which in some cases it will. But then talking about how easily these tanks can be taken out by atgm's in a blaze of fire is kind of bullshit. Its always the youtubers who put everything in an ideal situation for the enemy or friendly side. Because yes if a leopard is sitting out in the open standing still in a field doing nothing at all it will be killed instentanuously. But this isnt the scenario this tank will be in…. Everybody also seems to think that you can precicely aim at the modules of a tank like an ammo rack in the front or back of the tank this isnt the case…. With tank on tank warfare or using an atgm launcher you aim to hit the target where ever you can. You dont have the accuracy to precicely hit certain parts of a tank. The best you could aim for is front center or back of a tanks side other then that there is no real aiming spots. And thats only when your close enough to aim that presice. But if we take a look at combat footage from ukraine you can see that a majority of the atgm hits/kills are sometimes even 2 km away at wich point you wouldnt even be able to aim from the front center or rear of the side of the tank then you would like i said before just be aiming to hit the tank in general. And now talking about the perfect scenario bs. A Tank isnt gonna sit still out in the open in a field. Its gonna either be in a defense position hiding or covering its vital parts from the enemies direction of attack. For example a trench dug out for a trench would make it virtually impossible to hit the front ammo rack of a leopard tank since so many people think that is just THE weak spot that every single drunk as fuck russian appearantly gonna hit 10 out of 10 times. And if its not in a defensive position its gonna be on the roll making it even harder to hit vital parts like the ammo rack or engine. So place of these modules matter to only some degree. But arent a game changer. Hence why the leopard has increased armour on the front because you only need to protect from what your FACING if you need to protect a tank from the left or right youve already done something wrong as tank commander or as battlegroup commander.
Now pleas spam me with nerd emojis.
15:30 thats common knowledge all tanks have weak sides and backs
Um………those citing the lack of experience of Ukrainian tank crews, are perhaps forgetting that Russian tank crews, for all their experience, are right now being slaughtered in their thousands!
What’s more, given how the Russians have so far failed at every level, it’s likely that as soon as the first Leopards, Challengers or Abrams are seen on the horizon, that Russians will turn around and ‘run like f………………’!😵💫
