Leopard 2 Tank Obliterates Russian Armored Column in Ukraine
The Ukrainian 33rd Mechanized Brigade, equipped with German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks, successfully repelled a Russian advance on the village of Dalnje, south of Kurakhove, in eastern Ukraine. The Ukrainian tanks, utilizing their superior firepower and maneuverability, destroyed several Russian armored vehicles, including two tanks and an armored personnel carrier. This engagement showcased the effectiveness of the Leopard 2A4s in close-quarters combat, a departure from the cautious tactics typically employed by both sides due to the prevalence of drones. The battle in Dalnje demonstrates the Ukrainians’ unwavering determination to resist the Russian offensive, despite the potential for a ceasefire along the current front line.
