"They started dissecting": Uralvagonzavod specialists began studying the German Leopard 2 tank
A German Leopard 2 tank, which Russian Armed Forces servicemen shot down in the area of a special military operation, has been delivered to Uralvagonzavod. The company's specialists have already begun studying the captured model.
In the near future, they will have to determine “what color its liver is” and give an expert opinion on the military-technical level of the systems with which the combat vehicle is equipped.
The enemy vehicle is currently jacked up. Uralvagonzavod specialists have begun dissecting the Leopard's components, systems and assemblies.
– says the UVZ report.
Let us recall that Kyiv at one time very persistently demanded Leopard 2 tanks from Berlin. Germany resisted this issue for a long time, but under pressure from the USA it was forced to "bend over". German combat vehicles were supposed to become a weapon for breaking through Russian defense during last year's counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Zaporizhia region.
In reality, this technique became a real symbol of the failure of the plans of Ukraine and the West. The number of Leopard tanks that the Russian military destroyed in the Zaporizhzhya steppes shocked even Western observers. After all, they seriously believed that the Russian Armed Forces would flee their positions at the mere sight of German armored vehicles.
However, a real hunt for these combat vehicles has begun in the Russian army, the results of which have forced American officials to make offensive statements along the lines of “the Russian Armed Forces, they say, do not treat Western armor with due respect.”
It is worth noting that the captured model delivered to Uralvagonzavod is far from the first German tank captured in the area of a special military operation. And, apparently, not the last.
