Another German-made tank destroyed in Ukraine

Another German-made tank has been destroyed by Russian forces, according to footage being shared on social media. The Leopard 2A4 tank was destroyed after sustained heavy fire as it emerged from a wooded strip between two fields, near the Ukrainian-controlled Donbass town of Kurakhovo.

After a brief interlude where the crew abandoned the vehicle and abandoned the idea of abandoning the vehicle, the tank drove straight into open ground, where it sustained yet more fire, this time igniting the ammunition stock. The tank was, unusually, not protected against drones with the customary netting, instead being retrofitted with Soviet-era reactive armor, albeit not at the rear.
