Would not want to be in a tank in the age of drones and hypersonic misses.
Tanks work together with other weapons. If the Ukrainians use them like intended, with Marder/Infantry, Gepard anti AA and reconnaissance troops, they will do great. Russia sends in tanks without infantry or air superiority.
Germany has sent many anti tanks weapons like panzerfaust and it’s not Germany’s choice to send the tank
@Huel Babintosh Javelins helped so much, they lost Mariuopol, Soledar, Bachmut,……….! Gone baby gone. Get use to it, it will be worse, MUCH worse!
Hypersonic weapons are not accurate enough to hit moving targets. They are designed to hit static targets
The western countries are clearing out their old weapons stock so they can buy new. It’s like a crappy used car you give away – who cares if it actually works?
Did you mean it could end the “world”? Lol
The warld.
It could win the American Dream
Russia won’t dare fire nukes, NATO has already warned them.
Russia is in no state to fight NATO off and there’s the chance someone will fire nukes back at them.
Russia can’t attack everyone but everyone can attack Russia.
Yes
It’s just that easy folks. Can’t believe we didn’t think of this earlier.
War over with some tanks for sure
Next time, don’t forget to [/sarc]
Sadly It’s not true. The tanks are for 2 battalions and the can take care of a Frontline of 10 km.. How should that change anything?
In democratic society the true is different, becouse of the diversity of personalities made by the capitalistic idee and itself by the human’s nature. Unfortunately they can not exist whiteout to dream, specially American’s Dream!
It’s not only Germany providing Leopards, but several other countries, so expect at least 100 to several 100 tanks now being delivered to Ukraine.
If they build a spearhead a 10km breakthrough could collapse the frontline.
Also more countries will deliver Leos not just Germany and Poland. There are a a few thousand German made tanks all across Europe.
Hundreds of Leopard 2 tanks may be sent to Ukraine by multiple European countries
14 Himars rocket launcher systems completely blunted Russia’s ability to throw its weight around with artillery.
It’s could also lead to the Russians attacking Poland.
Anyone who’s in favor of sending money or military equipment to unkaine needs to do some research into the nuclear disarmament agreement between nato and the soviet union.
@wyatt erb They won’t use nuke because: 1) they also want to live 2) there is no vodka in heaven.
@YL915 this ☝️ #1
@6.5×55 Maybe I got the reasons in the wrong order! 😉
and you might want to look up the budapest memorandum.
@zorglub667 what does the nuclear disarmament agreement say?
So called analyst , Ukraine lost 2000+ tanks and tanks are not main thing in war because every tank is destroyable. It will help them ofcourse but to say thats ALL that you need for win is really pathetic statement.
Ukraine never had 2,000 heavy battle tanks so try again. Latest numbers (with photo/video evidence) are now 1634 Russian Tanks lost so far, of which destroyed: 960, damaged: 75, abandoned: 59, captured: 540 by the Ukrainians.
Ukrainian Tanks (with photo/video evidence) 450 lost so far, of which destroyed: 266, damaged: 24, abandoned: 16, captured: 144 by the Russians. It’s worth noticing that Ukraine have actually captured 90 more Russian Tanks than they have lost themselves so far.
where you come up with 2000+ Ukrainian tanks, Ukraine never had that many tanks, Russia so far has lost about 3x more tanks than Ukraine
@TH Wales He’s just repeating what he heard on Russian TV.
Then Russia has nothing to worry about and they can stop rattling the nuke saber every time this comes up 🤔
Russians lost their tanks. So Ukraine needs more tanks! Huh?😂
It is unlikely that Ukraine will use Leopards in open offensive. Russian T-90 is equipped with Refleks-M anti-tank missile systems. Armor penetration 900 mm, firing range 5000 m.
@sudfac Yeah, those wonder-weapon T-90 made it all the way to Kiev. On a flatbed truck and are now on display in front of the museum.
@YL915 Do you think Zelensky will be able to enter Crimea on Leopard 2? 🙂
@sudfac Well, let’s reverse your argument: do you think Putin will be able to enter Kiev in a T-90? Even pushing a 20 meters long table ahead of it? 🙂
@YL915 I think that Yanukovych will drive into Kyiv on a T-90. Putin will stay in Moscow. 🙂
The war could end with Russia win or Ukraine win. Otherwise, the war may continue in Ukraine. 🥸
LOL. Please explain, expert analyst, how long these tanks will last if the Ukrainians can’t provide them with friendly air cover.
HIMARS seem fine without friendly air cover.
neither side has proper air cover anymore, moot point
They will last longer than T-60 and T-72.
It’s all about getting rid of old stock to help the weapons industry. Who cares about how they will work in battle.
Sure. But opens it in all Europe. They should sit into the tanks and move in a normal people´s house…as guests…
Headline coming soon: German tanks roll across Ukraine…again.
German tanks roll across Ukraine… Finally. There, fixed the headline for you.
And Russia will crush them….once again.
Yea it’ll end soon. One way or another.
💣
When you concede to evil you only enable more evil in the future.
Go fight the war then before the real men of canada have to duuche
Throwing more gas on the fire will put it out?
A bully understands only a punch in the nose.
“Germany sending Leopard 2 battle tanks could end the war in Ukraine” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just like sending a Ukrainian more alcohol could end his alcoholism.
It’s the end of Europe
The EU will crack if the current leadership keeps following orders from Washington.
This is comedy Gold!
Won’t end anything, tanks won’t do anything but prolong it a little more.
Germany sending tanks to Ukraine will not end the war. It will cause more casualties on the Russian side.
