A Russian reconnaissance group had destroyed a German-made Leopard-2 main battle tank of the Kiev forces with a crew of Bundeswehr service members in the Zaporozhye direction, the commander of the group with the moniker “Legend” told Sputnik on September 23.
“When we curbed another offensive and ATGM-ed [destroyed with an anti-tank guided missile] the Leopard, we moved out to the burned vehicle hoping to seize the ‘tongue.’ Then we saw that the crew’s driver-mechanic was severely injured and the others were dead. Once he awoke, the mechanic started yelling ‘nicht schießen’ [“do not shoot” in German],” the commander of the reconnaissance group said.
According to Legend, the driver stated that he was not a mercenary but a German service member and that he and the rest of the crew were members of the same Bundeswehr unit.
The alleged German service member named his brigade and revealed its deployment position while receiving medical aid, the commander said, adding that he died from his wounds minutes after he was found despite efforts to save him.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet confirmed or denied the information reported by Sputnik, nor has the Bundeswehr.
Germany and other NATO members promised to supply Ukraine with around 100 Leopard 2 tanks in recent months, at least 21 of which are of the A6 version.
Ukrainian Leopard-2 crews, who had very little time to train in the tank before the start of the counteroffensive last June, performed very poorly. Most of the tanks have been reportedly destroyed or damaged by the Russian military.
If confirmed, the participation of German service members in the Ukrainian counteroffensive could lead to a very serious military escalation. Russia may consider this a direct attack by NATO.

…immer unter der prämisse, dass die behauptung überhaupt stimmt!
auch wenn baerbock russland bereits vor einem jahr den krieg erklärt hat, glaube ich nicht an diesen blödsinn, der hier geschrieben steht! es würde deutschland und die nato zur direkten kriegspartei machen -und vor nichts hat der imperiale westen mehr angst!
glaube macht seelig!
willkommen in der realität, -seelig spricht die kirche!
baerbock, kretschmann, palmer, habeck, söder, karin prien, esken, steinmeier, nahles, kahane, gysi, v. beck, j. fischer, merkel they are all radikal communists and mostly jews themselves – proven with palmer, söder, kahane, gysi, fischer, merkel etc. and they are, like putin, just poodles of the international jewry working hand in hand with them to bring ww3 upon mankind !
ich habe es mittlerweile aus verschiedenen brunnen gelesen, somit wäre deutschland kriegspartei. und wird deutschland deswegen angegriffen, wird die nato geschlossen deutschland zu hilfe eilen und der 3. weltkrieg ist perfekt. und wieder mal die deutschen, die nie etwas lernen. die “grüne” welt wird sterben!
so much for the theory that with western personnel, the leopards would perform better. those german orcs got destroyed just as easily 😂😂😂
i was so happy when we scrapped these driving coffins years ago in the netherlands. it looks kiev is refusing them because of malfunctions. that is too bad for the russian soldiers and pilots because they get a fat bonus for each destroyed or captured piece of equipment. they cannot wait to start their shift each day haha
i hope russia isn’t blind, this ww3 in the making!!!!
to be honest it’s just another day. the west crossed all red lines a year ago.
depleted uranium – check
cluster ammo – check
white phosphorus – check
mercs under the guise of volunteers – check
and even so we lose
polish regulars under the guise of volunteers – check
operation rooms filled with nato officers – check
ww 3 started on march 24th 1999.
no it started on 17th january 1991 zero o’clock. (us invasion of iraq by h.w. bush) which started the large cascade of us middle east wars which g.w. bush later (in 2001) declared to be the start of the “world wide war against terror”. listen closely: world wide war – short: world war !! while saddam called it moab ( mother of all battles !)
dead nazi krauts is always good news.
how will the scholz-baerbock scumbags lie themselves out of this farrago.
there’s already confirmed military from all western nations operating in ukraine. the only thing that would bring a ww3 scenario would be them attacking russian territory.
huh? did you miss the belgorod events? both poles and americans were confirmed to be fighting in the belgorod region.
and i hope they mercenazis are dead by now
history repeats. german nazis killed by russian soldiers.
make no mistake the war in ukraine is a nato attack german tank crew or not.
problem with your twisted logic is that you failed to mention that it was putinist russia raiding ukraine that started this war- and not vice versa. stop your invasion of that foreign country, stick to international law, and the war is over immediately. it’s that simple !
the war started after the coup in 2014 you moron, some say much sooner after the bandera cult infested ukraine.
einfach falsch, der überfall begann 2014 am maidan mit den usa-snipers, weche viele ukrainer töteten und setzte sich fort mit dem odessa masenmord , den 14.000 toten duch kiew und dem vertragsbruch minsker vetrag, usf. russland war also vepflichtet diesen vetrag durchzusetzen!
let’s pray for all our lives that these were not bundeswehr service members.
hitting berlin as an reply for
i just checked the yearly statistics of the bundeswehr and suggest they register these guys under ‘suicides abroad’.
the day f16 will fly over ukraine, the crew will be yankees, uk, german, belgium, poles…. training ukrainians will take 3 to 5 years !!! they will all take off in poland, roumenia greese, italy and carriers in the mediterranean. also from the yankee base in turky.
survival period of f16 against next generation russian jet: 1 hour
nato has been directly involved from the beginning. they have just been portraying an illusion of non involvement.
angela merkel has confirmee this in 2022.12
when the tank was painted with a german ”balken kreuz” the historical ”deja vue” is complete….
fred: it is jews ruling ukraine , it is jews ruling usa, it is jews ruling eu and it is jews ruling and ruining russia !! get it ! can t you see it – they want the “de ja vu” impression – in order to incite hatred and make germany & russia to fight each other again ! which would mio of dead christians – while the jews are rubbing their dirty hands and laughing their asses off !
literally more ammo for russia’s smo. the krauts reverting to ww2 germany!
ukropian clowns have a considerably sized diaspora abroad, including the us and canada. regardless they are all cannon fodder in the end.
did you know that davos flag has same yellow and blue color than ukraine, only thing missing is the big nazi swine swaubs from davos inside one of those tank.
if true post the names of the dead crew worldwide and gather the info about those tank crews before nazi nato and nazi germany can scrub any info about them, strike nazi nato and nazi germany hard with missiles in brussels & germany. any declaration by nazi nato regarding this by activating article 5 will result in immediate nuclear attack by russia on all nazi west including and first and foremost nazi usa washington this will stop nazi nato and nazi usa from activating article 5. =z=
i am not sure if an official confirmation will come, from the russian side or the german side. both nato and russia are not interested in a direct open conflict, although the conflict is running already on hidden levels.
unglaublich !
“oops ve thought ve vere inst poland. must have made a wrong turn.”
no footage?
yeah it’s just russian propaganda to frighten and deter germany away from delivering the taurus missiles to ukraine. really cheap propaganda ! no evidence, no captured german soldier,no pictures no nothing, just ruskie foul claims and bullshit talk. with an alive pow it would be somewhat reasonable and making a point, but this way ? no, just ruskie propaganda bullshit
the germans had better behave themselves or berlin could end up looking like it did in 1945, a pile of rat shit.
nazis raus! deutsche raus!
