German Tanks In The Battle Of Pokrovsk

The German Leopard 1A5 tanks were developed during the Cold War as a counter to Soviet T-64 tanks. Soldiers of the 1st Tank Battalion of the 5th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade say that the vehicle is highly maneuverable, which, in modern warfare, allows for a quicker retreat from the battlefield—especially when drones dominate the sky. Most of the time, the troops engage the enemy using direct fire—when the opponent is practically right in front of the tank. This tactic helps provide cover for infantry and enables precise strikes against both assault groups and armored vehicles.
