Another German Leopard 1A5 tank was filmed burning on Ukrainian frontlines. The newly shared footage was reportedly filmed in the Kharkiv region. The German tank was equipped with the Soviet Kontakt-1 explosive reactive armor. It was also reinforced with Ukrainian mine sweeper. No additional equipment helped the German tank to survive in the battle.
The knife-type minesweepers seen on the destroyed Leopard tank are aimed to help the tank to overcome minefields. This is a dump with special knives fixed on its lower edge. Mines are plowed in front of the tank tracks with knives, after which the extracted mines are discarded beyond the passage with a blade. Such minesweepers are quite effective on soft or sno-cowered soil but they also slow down the speed of the tank and decrease its manoeuvrability.
The Soviet Kontakt-1 is now mandatory for the Ukrainian military. After the failed bloody offensive in the Zaporozhie region last year and heavy losses in NATO vehicles, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were forced to urgently reinforce the defense of German Leopard, as well as Americal Abrams tanks to use them in the battles and save at least some of their prestige.
As a result, all foreign tanks are equipped with the old Soviet reactive armor. For example, Ukrainian military sources shared one of their last American Abrams tanks with the Kontakt-1 armor and a grill aimed at protecting the vehicle from Russian FPV drones.

NATO tanks and other weapons have proven their low effectiveness in battles against the Russian military. No Soviet equipment saves the Armed Forces of Ukraine from loosing the precious gifts from NATO on the battlefields. For example, today, Ukrainian forces lost another German Leopard tank in the Pokrovsk direction in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
putin needs to wake up before moscow gets bombed by these nato thugs..!.. netherlands confirms f-16s delivery to kiev
the first dutch-donated fighter jets have arrived in ukraine, defense minister ruben brekelmans has said
putin wait for china go ahead …till then is just waiting game.
china’s compromised but they will engage it when the witch of the west wants.
…this scrap delivered by nato will no longer make a difference! – even german mainstream media are gradually tuning into the final song!
at first it was said that ukraine had to win, later it was said that ukraine should not lose. meanwhile, the decay of ukraine must be prevented!
we are probably experiencing the bitter end of ukraine right now…
the sooner, the better. like bojo the bozo’s ex-advisor once said. it’s a corrupt mafia shithole and i’ll top off that thought with: ‘and a boiling cauldron of civilian murdering skinhead nazis soon to be broiled and skinned.’ how sweet it is.
get real. the moment moscow is seriously bombed, the nukes start flying.
in doubt? try it then.
ah, they’re just bluffing…. and i’m a moron.

nato was only fighting tribesmen before and did not need to have protective armour until this war🤡
boo-hoo another uk precious gift burns.
return to sender address unknown.
a german precious gift. the uk gave orders not to use theirs in real battle, strictly for show.
leopards never change their spots
no spots for nato, just the stripe of a stinky skunk.
inferior western weapons are no match for russian weapons.
yeah but they burn pretty good when you light a match.
tank was conceptualized as a breakthrough weapon against maxim’s guns during ww1. in the end of ww2, air power, landmines and at guns were already taking out most of the tanks. just look at gaza. now there are always some cases were tanks can or must be exploited, but it’s success is very dependent on the situation, the first condition now seems to be a clear sky : even the turtle tanks had shown limited efficiency facing horde of drones.
burn baby burn! 😬
drone warfare has nearly made tank warfare obsolete. but then again, antidrone systems are getting better, but short range fiber optic tethered drones will need to be addressed with a kinetic interception system, obviously.
thousdand dollar drone takes out million dollar tank, but soon, ten dollar round will take out thousand dollar drones…
the tank armour look fine. someome made a mistake to leave the manhole open where it was easy to drop something into the tank. the wise sage said, in future close doors behind you.
don’t let the door slam your ass on the way out
